I recently played my first "real" game (no proxies, at ther store, with the RIGHT rules) with a vet BA player at a near by store. Dont remember the turn details, but here's a general overview:
Forces chosen:
Me:
HQ
1 Archon, drugs, field, agoniser, pistol
4 incubi
1 Incubi master
1 raider, disintegrator, horrorfex
Elites
10 wyches, 2 blasters, succubis/agoniser, wcyhe weps
1 wyche raider, disintegrator, horrorfex
(wanted to use my warp beasts)
Troops
10 warriors, 2 dark lances
10 warriors, 2 dark lances
10 warriors, 2 s cannon, blaster, sybarite, agoniser
10 warriors, 2 s cannon, blaster, sybarite, agoniser
Fast Attack
4 reavers, succubis, agoniser, 2 blaster
Heavy Support
2 talos
5 scourges, 4 s cannon, sybarite/terrorfex
Blood angels:
Chaplain, jump pack, power weapon, some other stuff
5 death company(only 5!!)
3x 10 man marine squads, 3 vets w/ thunder hammer/storm shield, all in rhinos with extra armor
predator i think, had linked autocannon, 2 heavy bolters, hk missile
5 land speeders (all had 2 weapons)
Mission, recon.
summarization:
I had fire lanes early on with my dark lance squads to his rhinos, destroying 2 before they got to the half way point, and the cannon squads popped a few marines. I placed 1 lance squad in a stupid place and had to move(argg!). his speeders started coming on and flew around trying to find the objective while i shot up his marines. 2nd or third turn my hq flew on and blew some more marines to heck, got shot down, and my hq started sloggin it to his rhinoless squad. At the same time, he had two dwindling squads bearing down on 2 of my squads, so i moved my reavers in to help, and eventually a talos. Later, those 2 marine squads died. Eventauly, he found the objective and flew off, i couldnt catch him, despite annihalating everything else he had, end game.
(apoligizes for haphazard battle report)
Important points:
I never touched any of the markers, the last marker was the center marker.
I shoudve reinforced those 2 squads being attacked by 2 marine squads with the talos instead of reavers(they died), and sent the reavers to the center objective marker which the talos was heading for.
The talos heading for the center marker couldnt get there as fast as one of his speeders could. THIS WAS CRITICAL!! The marker was tightly between 2 buildings, and i didnt think about my own units blocking line of sight, so when my wyche raider and scourges came on right behind the talos, i thought i was going to blast the speeder, but he got away, so I resigned to killing as much as possible.
I had troube with my reserve rolls, but death company came on last turn.
I lost sight of the objectives.
In the end he had: chaplain, 4 death company, 3 marines, and one land speeder.
While i had: 22 warriors, archon, 1 incubi, 2 talos, wyche squad and their raider.
Things i feel good about:
I lost due to newbie problems(didnt roll my wyche/reaver drugs!), but i was extremely close to winning.
The comments on my painting by other players, especially dark eldar.
The comments on my play style.
The fact that out of 21 games he's played against de, this was 1 of 3 close ones.
the store is having a 25%off sale on things on the regular wall, and a 50%off sale things on a special table!
Things to feel bad about:
My wyches did nothing, and my hq got shot up.
I couldve won!!
I forgot my cows!!!
Hope you could follow all that stuff i just wrote!
