Eldar lost the roll and were forced into first turn of a 4 Mission Objective game with Spear head deployment. Here is what they looked like set-up.
The Orks were in it for fun, so here what they looked like set-up (before scout move)
Orks failed to steal the Initiative; but the Deffkopta`s used turbo during their scout move to get into position north of the main ork army.
Turn 1.
The Eldar were very carefull with their JB Council; but the rest advanced and opened fire as they could… the 10 DA got out of their serpent and pounded the Kopta`s with a BS action and 27/32 shots hitting… only 2 kopta`s went down though and the remaining 2 stood their ground. All other shooting went into the ork vehicles; but the KFF get them all safe from damage. The orks responded with some movement forward.. the shoota’s disembarked from their trukk, unloaded into the DA, and killed 6/10 outright; but the Eldar stood their ground, the Deffkopta’s shot the DA serpent and then assaulted it driving their buzzsaw right into the heart of its engines to explode it.
Turn 2.
The Eldar respond by remaining cautious with their JB Council; but the stormies pop forward to annihilate the Shoota’s, In other shooting the BL Serpent blows up the Slugga Trukk, and the 4 remaining DA try to kill the Deffkopta’s but fail to do much.. so they assault as well… the DA don’t do so well in assault and get run down for their efforts.\
The Orks respond by going nuts (seriously their general threw caution to the wind)… Tank shoking with a trukk; while the Eldar simply get out of its way… advancing on all fronts, calling a waagh, and then having the Slugga’s trip over their own feet while fleeting so they could not assault… the Deffkopta goes into the Eldar JB Coucnil on its own, and gets hammered accordingly…
Turn 3.
The Eldar rush forward now to engage the Orks on their own terms… The FD’s blow up the Trukk, and the rest of the shooting goes into the Nob Bikers (kills 2.5)… while the Council set up to assault… in assault the Council flubs as the autarch fails horribly and the farseer is not in BtB so he can’t even fight… the nobs take a few wounds here and there.. but the combat is a draw. … Oh the Battle wagon got blown up by the DA serpents BL’s as well, while its 6 DA waste the Slugga squad in shooting.….
The Orks rush forward to get as many boys fighting as possible… Everyone is in to it with the JB Council and the combat actually goes in favour of the orks as a few Eldar die (actually remembered to use the Waagh Banner this turn, which helped).
Turn 4.
The Eldar fight on, regrouping their outside units to prepare to help.. in CC the Farseer gets pounded into the earth as well as the Autarch, and a couple Warlocks and nobs…
The Orks fight on (what else can they do) and they finish off the Council.
Turn 5.
The Eldar send in some stormies to remove an Ork Shoota issue in the center, while the rest of their shooting works on killing more Nobs.
The Orks set up to multi assault as the Warboss does in the Stormies, and the Nob squad explode a Serpent and wreck the Falcon.
Score is Eldar 1, Ork 0
Turn 6.
The Eldar retaliate and have the FD’s and remaining DA do a number on the Nobs… while their last Serpent tries to plug the Warboss.
The orks carry on, having the nobs waste the DA, while the Warboss only manages to shake the serpent (shoulda, tried for the FD’s)/
Score is Eldar 0, Orks 1.
Turn 7.
The FD’s finish off the nobs and the orks chances for scoring with their FD firing squad.
The Warboss ignores the serpent and jumps on the FD’s killing 3…
Score,… Eldar 0, Orks 0… Thus it’s a Draw…. So on to Kill Points to decide; wow, both armies took out 9 KP’s from the other as well, and in the end only 5 figures remained on the table. A true Draw… Loads of fun as the game swung form side to side.
Thanks Th0r for gaming vs me, and bringing your Eldar…. They are very similar to my own lists, and you actually played a much better game than I did, so good luck this weekend in the tournie. I also want to thank GW Halifax for providing the location for the game and such a great table once again. Cheers guys, your the best GW staff that I have had the pleasure to meet.
Cheers
