Pre Game
Due to the Ranger Disruption Tabe I sent the 2 units of havocs and the leiutenant to sit n reserve... now all i need to worry about is the oncoming hordes of khornate death... lets get to it...

Eldar turn 1
Woohoo... I get 1st turn!
I didnt move, im going to wait for them to come to me... the only moving was done by my vyper who hopped onto the hill to open a bit of firepower on the khorne scum.
Shooting was devestating my ranegrs opened fire on 1 of the khornate units closest to me and killed an impressive 5. My pathfinders killed 2 out the the other unit of khorne. Lets get the BBQ ready... were having chaos!

Chaos turn 1
With not much to do, the chaos player hid most of his men apart from the seven strong unit who blood raged and ran towards the nearest unit... hehehe...

Eldar Turn 2
I moved my 2 wraithlords and avatar towards the lord, convinced that i could take him out since he can only kill 1 guy at a time. My vyper moved back onto the hill from moving down last turn due to Crystal Targeting Matrix.
Shot with all rangers and pathfinders at the khornate unit in the middle of the board... none were left alive...
With the lord just out of 18 inces i shot a him confidently taking 2 wounds off him with my 6 shots from star cannons, all seemed doomed for the Chaos Marines.

Chaos turn 2
All the reserves came on and got ready to shoot their plasma weaponry at my army sometime soon.
The khornate berserkers on the right ran out of cover and towards my farseer who was 6" into the forest closest to them.
Fleet of Foot! Since when did chaos space marines have fleet of foot! Oh well he only rolled a 1 for his lord.
12" charge! Since when did chaos space marines have a 12" charge! Oh well ill beat him in cc anyway, his bererkers charged my farseer but failed by moving 2" into the cover instead of 6"...
What! The lord killed my avatar! No way!

Eldar Turn 3
Thats it somebody is going to pay... somebody is going to get smushed for kiling my avatar and that marine will be the lord!
My 2 wraithlords moved in for the kill on the lord as my farseer moved thurther into the wood to stop the charge from the khorne.
I only shot my rangers (and pathfinders) at the khornate unit killing all and decided not to shoot at the lord.
I charged instead!
He struck first but guess what? Hes only Strength 4 and im Toughness 8... hehehe... i hit him with unimanginable force and left heim as a smear on the tree a couple of foot away, now all that was left was the reserves to take care of.

Chaos Turn 3
With nothing much to do in the way of shooting and assaulting the units and lieutenant moved behind a forest and waited for the xenos threat.

Eldar turn 4
Moved back into position in the corner of the board... nobody died... oh well...

Chaos Turn 5
With nothing much more to do the chaos turned and charged towards my army... hoping that the dice gods shined down on him.

Eldar Last Turn
However, his last run was not to be for as soon as he reared his ugly heretic head from around the bush... he got shot down...
All but 1 marine was left behind who ran off the board. With chaos definitaly defeated its time to sit back and watch chaos burn...


Result: Eldar Win :D
Chaos Lose :rolleyes:

:lol:

Excellent report man!

One question I have, why does your farseer have the Singing Spear and a Witchblade? You could replace one with a CCW and save yourself a lot of points ( since the shooting phase will probably be using a psychic power, it should probably be the spear).

If i remember, the Lord's fleet is his automatic blood-rage from the glaive.

Edit - I was just looking that that chaos list again, I don't think it's legal. The Havocs don't have MoK.

Well done go eldar. Haha i dont like khorne bezerkers either. My templars turn into jam stains runnign at them.

Well done to win with eldar is an added bonus as no one gives the credit anymore

Thanks guys.
I pride myself on my cheesy armies, however it doesnt really make for a very interesting game, so im thinking of a militlia army (with background) as an addition to my already vast eldar armies so that i may have an army that people dont shout "cheese" at.
Yes i do have both witchblade and singing spear on my farseer so that i can throw my spear and then charge with 2+ to wound with a power weapon.
It was a Black Legion army that has khorne in it, im sorry if I didnt include that, so he can take mark of chaos undivided on his units.
And yes, he did blood rage but for the first couple of turns he rolled a "1" so I decided to not include it to avoid thurther confusion.

The Confessor - November 3, 2004 01:12 AM (GMT)
Thats my fault I didn't read it right. :D

Anyway, why didn't the chaos guy take zerks in units of 8 to get the free aspiring champion?

The witchblade isn't a power weapon. " A Witchblade always wounds enemies on a roll of 2+ in HTH. Armour saves are taken as normal. Against vehicles, a Witchblade triples the users strength when working out armour penetration. In other words, it does not ignore armour saves like a power weapon." (Eldar Online)

war mammoth - November 3, 2004 04:06 PM (GMT)
No, he didnt take them in units of 8. I dont know why... but he did...
Im sorry about the mistake with the witchblade, oh well.

emperors champion akeris - November 4, 2004 05:28 AM (GMT)
Are you sure its not units of 8+ not 8 as a magic number. I played a khorne army and he had free asp champion in his units of 10 :unsure:

The Confessor - November 4, 2004 06:19 AM (GMT)
He cheated.

You only get free champs on units that are multiples of their patron's chosen number. (ie - 8 or 16 for khorne)
