Deployment


Mission: Relic, Dawn of War, No Nightfighting on first turn
Eldar Warlord trait, 4, reroll saving throws of 1.
Dark Angels warlord trait, no effect in game.

Farseer powers: Guide, Doom, Executioner

Eldar won the roll to go first, they deployed jetbikes on either flank, dark reapers behind some cover in the middle, with most of the eldar mech behind them.

Dark Angels deployed Sammael with the ravenwing bikers and the attack bike in the middle behind one unit of devastators. With the black knights behind the other devastators on the flanks.

Eldar Turn 1


The farseer cast guide on the dark reapers, doom on the scouts. his squad of bikes moved up slightly and he cast executioner on the scouts, killing two scouts. With the remaining 3 out of line of sight.

The fire prism fired a large s5 ap 3 template into the middle devastators and the bikes, however it scattered badly and failed to wound.

The Scorpions Waveserpent (WS1) overcharged the shield and fired into the middle devastators killing one.

The Firedragons Waveserpent (WS2) overcharged the shield fired into the middle devastators killing two.

The two Warwalkers also fired into the middle devastators and killed another two.

The dark reapers wanting first blood fired their guided, ap3 s5 shots into the two remaining devastators and easily destroyed them for first blood.

The Windrider Jetbikes turbo boosted close to the relic in preparation to get it next turn.

The rangers took aim at the devastators opposite but the wound was saved.

Dark Angels Turn 1


The right black knights moved behind the tower. The right devastators fired 4 templates into the dark reapers getting 9 hits, but only wounded 4 times, and only 1 died.

The scouts missile launcher could only see the rangers and fired a template at them, but it scattered off.

The bikers with sammael moved out of line of sight of the main army behind the house.

The left devastators fired into the firedragons waveserpent (ws2) but only managed to stun it.

Eldar Turn 2


The crimson hunter came in and without any vehicles to target it moved on to get a shot on the right black knights, firing into them failing to do a wound.

The warp spiders dropped right behind the black knights and fired into them killing two.

The scorpions waveserpent (Ws1) overcharged an fired into the last black knight and killed it.

The farseer cast guide on the dark reapers and doomed the scouts. Doom was perils(1,1) and he used his last warp charge to save the wound. The farseers windrider jetbikes fired everything into the remaining scouts and wiped them out.

The dark reapers took aim at the devastators and wiped them out (I incorrectly treated the dark reapers as ignoring cover instead of just ignoring jinx) -should not have wiped them out as easily.

The fire prism fired into the barely visible bikers with a large template s5 ap3 but both wounds were saved.

The warwalkers couldn't see anything.

The wind rider jetbikes moved onto the relic then turbo boosted 6 inches to move the relic towards the right corner away from the DA bikers.

Dark Angels Turn 2


Belial and the deathwing terminators deep struck next to the fire prism. The cyclone missile launcher fired into the fire prism but failed the penetrate, the remaining termies fired there storm bolters into the dark reapers but failed to kill any thanks to some good saves.

Sammael and the bikers moved within 6 inches of the windriders and fired into them only killing 1, then failing the 7 inch charge with a roll of 5.

The remaining black riders fired plasma into the war walkers and wrecked one.

The devastators fired into the waveserpent but failed to do anything.

Eldar Turn 3


The eldar army encircled belial and the deatwing terminators. The scorpions and firedragons disembarked from their waveserpent.

The Farseer guided the fire dragons and doomed the terminators.

The Fire prism fired a small blast s7 ap 2 template into the terminators but it scattered onto the firedragons but only hit 1 and failed to wound.

The scorpions, fire dragons, two waveserpents, warwalker, and two units of wind rider jetbikes fired into the terminators just managing to wipe the squad thanks to the sheer volume of fire plus the firedragons instant deathing belial and some ap1 bladestorm.

The dark reapers wiped out the last black knight squad with its jinx ignoring ap3 shots.

The rangers fired at the attack bike and failed to do anything

The relic windrider squad used its assault jump to move away from the enemy bikers.

Dark Angels Turn 3


Things looked really grim for the dark angel player now.

The devastators fired into the fire prisms side armour but only shook it.

The bikers moved and fired into the farseers windrider jetbikes but both wounds were saved. The unit then failed its charge with a roll of 6, needed 8.


Eldar Turn 4



Everything advanced.

The Warspiders fired into Sammael on the who was exposed on the side, he choose t to look out sir and he failed three and died from 7 wounds.

The remaining units opened fire on the bikes killing them all, with the dark reapers killing the most.

At this point it was all over.

Dark reapers killed so many, but they were crazy lucky to survive, and if the opponent knew the threat before the game it would be hard to keep them alive. The fire prism didn't seem to do much but it still felt so good, was a good threat. Waveserpents are amazing. Windrider jetbikes are amazing.

He said they were ignoring the devastator cover saves in the battle report.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5729795.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5729795.page GMT New Eldar Vs Dark Angels 1700pts
This isn't true, it is only jink saves and night fight when using the night vision exarch power.

Good to see the eldar kicking butt though, mine stomped some space wolves in a 2000pt game last night (my first with the new codex).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5729937.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5729937.page GMT Re:New Eldar Vs Dark Angels 1700pts

Ah damn, that was a mistake on my part then, pretty decent one. Well it was a learning game, that is what happens when you jump into a game while reading the rules, bound to miss something. I didn't ignore the cover on turn 1 since i hadn't read reaper rangefinder yet, it was turn 2 when i ignored the devastators cover and wiped them, i would have probably only killed half with the squad then.

I still had 2 warwalkers, and the windrider guardian squad who hadn't shot, and the Fire Prism only shot at the bikes because the devi's were dead(Fire prism wiffed all day, instant bad karma for my rule slight) they maybe could have killed the remaining 3 and the game would have been unchanged. But still a bit of a tarnish. Ah well live and learn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5731834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5731834.page GMT Re:New Eldar Vs Dark Angels 1700pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5732125.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5732125.page GMT New Eldar Vs Dark Angels 1700pts
Not sure if you just listed it wrong, or he actually played with them as a troop....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5734723.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5734723.page GMT Re:New Eldar Vs Dark Angels 1700pts http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5735817.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5735817.page GMT New Eldar Vs Dark Angels 1700pts

Just a heads up also, that Deathwing Command Squad is NOT a troops choice. If it was a regular Deathwing squad it would have been but since he had the apothecary and what not it was not.

Ah, well it didn't factor into the game. Thanks for the spot, will know for future games.

Rangers aren't listed in the Eldar army list. Good batrep. I actually prefer this style over pictures usually. It's much easier to tell what is going on and remember what units are what this way.


Don't know how i missed the trusty rangers, added them to the army list. Thanks

Yea i like the format, i wouldn't mind doing this format plus adding some game photos in as well just to make it seem for real.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5735822.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5735822.page GMT New Eldar Vs Dark Angels 1700pts OT - what program did you use to make the bat rep?

Its a program called battle chronicler, pretty easy to use once you get the hang of it.

http://www.thedarkcity.net/t4279-battle-chronicler-tutorial

Linked is a tutorial on how to use it.

Yea i think my opponent was pretty unlucky, specially with his charge rolls, he just couldn't get his bikes in combat, he also just couldn't take out those dark reapers who were killing everything (even tho i used them wrong on turn 2 which disadvantaged the DA player).

Still loving the new eldar codex. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5754509.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5754509.page GMT New Eldar Vs Dark Angels 1700pts
Not my preferential play style but I do like it a lot. And thanks for the quick response.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5754533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/533141/5754533.page GMT
