500pts Eldar vs Biel Tan.....
« on: June 1, 2005, 05:25:51 PM »
Hey all. Organised a friendly game against a mate of mine. We both have Eldar. However I know him and he likes to win. So I shall try and beat him at his own game.

He usually plays biel tan with a starcannon vyper, fire dragons, scorps and reapers.

I plan to take a jetbiking farseer with fortune (the point of the game is to test him out)
20 Starcannon Guardians with conceal

...what else can I take?

I have:
6 Scorps
5 Banshees
10 Fire Dragons
1 dual shuricannon Vyper
1 Brightlance Wraithlord
5 Stormies
Falcon
5 Swooping Hawks.

those banshees will eat his scorps. A brighlance wraitlord...If you swap this for a stacannon it would kill the reapers. I would play beil tan and field the faseer on the bike, the banshees, the wraithlord and something to take out those reapers probably those swooping hawks.

Because a Wraithlord in a 500 pts battle isn't at all cheesy... :P

Maybe it is a little overboard. Maybe the vyper then?

I was thinking of going guardian heavy this game. Normal Farseer (broke the jetbike last night) 14 starcannon guardians, 6 scorpions, 5 stormies and a vyper. But i like the hawks, banshees and wraithlord so I'll take them along too!



--------------------


Well, we played the game but not me vs him. We teamed up (500pts each) against 500pts of Grey Knights (1 Inq and retinue and 10 GK in 2 units of 5) and 600pts of Terminators (2 Squads plus attached characters).

The terminators deep struck. So all that he had on the table at the start were the Daemonhunters.

We had:
Avatar
Farseer with Fortune
6 Striking Scorps with Exarch/ Stealth
5 Banshees
5 Fire Dragons
6 Scorps with Exarch/Scorpion Claw, Stealth and Crushing Blow.
14 Defenders with Starcannon and Conceal Warlock joined by Farseer.
1 Wave Serpent
1 Starcannon Vyper
1 Dual Shuricannon Vyper
5 Stormies with Warlock/ Destructor.

The 2 units of Infiltrating Scorps managed to kill allt he GK and Inquisitor with the help of a starcannon and losses of about 5.
The Deep striking Terminators took out the WS and Dragons after losing 2 of their number to ALL our firepower.
Then everything we had but the Defenders charged over the next 3 turns and wiped them out.

They lost everything.
We lost Banshees, Fire Dragons, Wave Serpent, Stormies and a few Scorps.
