Necron Turn 2
OBJ - 4,6
Sorry I am missing a picture of the Barges. They move up slightly to shoot at the Ravager.
Warriors move into Rapid Fire Range of the Reavers and only do 1 wound. (7 were saved). Shooting at the Ravager does nothing. (Jink 4 saved)
Urien takes 2 wounds in the challenge. Hek and Wyches finish off the Wraiths. (Mistake here as the Lord is no longer Fearless he should have taken a
LD test on -2)
DE Turn 2
OBJ - 2, 6
Warriors arrive from reserve.
Raider moves to OBJ 2. Reavers move to Blaster the Barges, Warriors move on to shoot the Necrons on OBJ 2. (not pictured) Between the 2 Venoms and 5 Warriors 2 Necrons die.
With the Help of the Hekatrix, Urien finishes of the Lord but a poor consolidation move allows the Lord to get back up.
Necrons - 2
DE - 2
Necrons Turn 3

HP on the Raider and Destroy a lance.
DE Turn 3
OBJ - 4,5
Sorry forgot to take a picture.
Movement and shooting Reavers decide to shoot and charge the Barge. Raider moves onto OBJ 5. Wyches move up to charge warriors blob. Splinter fire kills 6 Necrons but 2 stand back up.
Warriors overwatch for 3 wounds and Urien tanks them but fails the first one. Wyches save w/

Just some thoughts from this game as this is the first time I've really read the
DE book and had a chance to see them in action.
Love the new Power from Pain rolls. A turn by turn basis really helps especially with Urien giving you +1 turn in a 12" bubble.
Wyches - I really liked them. For 10 points to go toe to toe with Wraiths I did not expect it.
Urien - Wow for his cost I feel he is a steal. If only he had
AP in
CC.
Reavers for their points are amazing. Personally I'd say they are the go to Fast Attack. (I know people will argue this but I don't like scourge, slower weaker and if you give them 4 weapons more
exp on a model to model basis.)
Overall I feel like Dark Eldar lost nothing. They are still a solid force.
