An Epic Confrontation!

So time passed, and schedules clashed. A day of fighting elluded us until 'Zup, you busy this sunday? Slug fest?' This fell into place suddenly with annoying schedules finally allowing something decent. Rik, Eivind teamed up against Myself, Jack and Big Willy. 

The Forces? Dark Eldar, Eldar and Blood Angels w/ Guard allies trying their best to fight off a horde of Necrons and Tyranids. The dreaded Harridan would be featuring!

Conclusion?

Well, the Dark Eldar/Eldar Alliance along with the Space marine are guard proved too strong for the unholy necron/tyranid alliance. My artillery pounded them repeatedly and my terminators held the line well. The two wraithknights did their usual business and loomed as scary fire magnets. Wraithguard and dark eldar archons caused chaos in the enemy rear and the insane amount of venom/splinter cannon fire was just witheringly strong!

The Harridan survived until the last turn when it was finally laid low by splinter fire. It had shrugged off a ridiculous amount of firepower.

I tried out the new Land Raider Excelsior/Rhino Primaris combo. Nice but pricy unit. 

Highlights

Jack's wraithknight performed really well. It took 5 wounds to the face early in the game but survived long enough to wipe out 20 warriors, a monolith and then took on a stonecrusher carnifex before losing its last wound. Respectable indeed!

My own personal highlight was vapourising a Tyrannofex with a Beast Hunter Vanquisher shell. A roll to hit, a roll to wound and failure of a 2+ cover save resulted in Ichor and bone exploding for a nice First Blood victory point.

End Result? 11 - 1

Tough maelstrom card drawing ruining the day for the unholy alliance! Also, Eivind's more useful army/models were at another location so sub-optimal list was taken in terms of synergy and nastiness.

Good times.
