Hey guys, I am in a recently started league here in the DFW area in Texas. There are 3 sides: Imperium, Chaos and Xenos. If you have read any of my batreps or list ideas I am an Eldar player and the Xenos seem to be on a roll to start, going undefeated in our first night. It is to be a 10 week campaign. There are all sorts of ways to play. Even planetstrike. So here is my first week's report:

Week 1 (modified Scouring - only a 1,2,2,3 obj's w/STW, FB, LB secondaries)
My 1000 list:
Farseer - bike, spear
Spirit seer
5 wraithguard (cannons) - serpent w/starcannons, shuriken cannon
5 rangers
5 rangers
Aspect Host:
5 dragons w/exarch
5 spiders w/exarch
5 reapers w/exarch and missiles

His Khorne Demonkin list:
Lord - jump pack, axe (turns you into a bloodthirster when you die), plasma pistol, 2+/4++ armor that gives FnP
8 possessed
bloodletter herald (warlord)
3x bloodletter units deep striking
Maulerfiend

So I rolled divination on the farseer (He had literally no shooting so I didn't think invis would be necessary) and got perfect timing - which was what I wanted - and I rolled up santic on the spirit seer and got vortex. I hadn't ever gotten it, but knew I was going to throw one before the game was over. I managed to ingores cover (with perfect timing) the dark reapers and kill it in 2 turns of shooting. I ended up losing both units of rangers, the dragons, dark reapers and the wave serpent. Once again the reapers showed me that they are worth their weight in gold.

Highlights were the fire dragons exarch holding up the chaos lord in combat for 2 turns! I actually wounded HIM twice! I rolled the 4+ invul blessing on divination as well and that helped me keep the bloodthirster away for awhile. The absolute best scene in the game was when the spirit seer threw a vortex and sucked up 4 bloodletters with a direct hit and then the wraithguard blew the other 3 away with their d-cannons! I rolled 5 dice at it and was concerned about a perils, but rolled four 5's and a 4 for 5 successes with no perils! My dice were pretty hot this game. I ended up winning 7-4 w/2&3 obj and STW + LB.

What do y'all think about the list. I'll try to get on here and update my games each week to keep y'all informed. I wasn't impressed with the rangers as 2 troop choices so this week (and then the next two after) are at 1250 points, so I will probably bring a unit of guardians with a starcannon platform instead of the 2nd ranger unit. The 2 squads killed like 3 bloodletters and put 2 wounds on the herald all game between the 2 units.

Thanks for the insight!
