6350p BA/IG vs. Deldar, photos and rambling...

[Lost Vyper]

Hi!

Today we had a MASSIVE game of 6350p each between Blood Angels / Astra Militarum vs. Eldar / Dark Eldar. This was my friends first game with the new codex, he didn´t want the possible mistakes on "tape" --> no batrep . We had a Relic (2p) and five objectives (each 1p) plus Slay the Warlord and Line Breaker as secondaries. Deldar were victorious 5-1 (3 objectives + both secondaries) as the game ended on turn 5. In this game we saw the devastating firepower of IG combined with Prescience and Ignores Cover --> destruction! My gamble payed off big time, as i brought the 4 Warp Spiders + Exarch (Spinnernet + Fast Shot) behind his tank line and blew the whole squadron away killing loads of troops in the explosions (3 x BOOM!).

This was the situation in turn one



And this after (was it?) the third



This was one of the things that turned the tide. Other was these bad boys killing Corbulo and few terminators before Assault Marines wiped them off the table



Game saw some funny moments also (for me, not for him ) as Mephiston fled from combat, when Baron killed one marine and made his saves in turn five. Other was the killing of his Warlord, who charged first in to jetbike squad with two cannons and five bikes with tl Shuriken Catapults. i threw amazing four wounds and he was killed in overwatch fire!

If it had gone to turn 6, Mephiston would have killed ANOTHER Wraithknight and it would have been a CLOSE game. Here´s some shots from the game...
