Hi, itīs the Vyper...
Today, we played a game of 2500p, short edge deployment and The Scouring.
If you are impatient, the short answer to the topic, f*** yes! :mad:
BLOOD ANGELS
HQ
Epistolary
Librarian x 2 (2lvl)
TROOP
2 x Tactical Squad x 10 (Melta+Flamer) (Flamer+ML) COMBAT SQUADED, so 4 x 5 in two drop pods...
5 x Assault Marines in a Rhino
10 x Scout COMBAT SQUADED to 2 x 5
20 x Assault Marines Jump packs (with meltas) another COMBAT SQUADED to 2 x 5, another with Librarian and a Priest
HEAVY
2 x 10 Devastators one COMBAT SQUADED to 2 x 5
ELDAR
HQ
Eldrad
Fuegan

TROOP
2 x DAīs x 9 (Exarch Disarm, SS+PW) + WS (tlBl)
2 x 3 Jetbikes
FAST
3 X Hornet (SL+BL)
HEAVY
3 x 3 WWīs (SL+BL)
Dark Reapers x 3 + Exarch (NV+FS) + Aegis + Icarus
THEREīS TOO MANY OF THEM!!
My friend told when we started, that if i kill 10 models a turn, heīll have 15 in the end of the game...the rush was brutal. He let me start, and that was all he wrote really. Got the first blood, but the drop pods carrying 4(!!) squads ainīt fun :(, plus the three extra victory points on a table with AV11 didnīt help either...in the end, the rush was so overwhelming, that i had 1 x jetbike, 1 x Hornet, and about 7 DAīs on the table and i lost 10-5...
What worked with Eldar
- Avatar delivered, harassed, killed devastators and got got cut down only by a force sword...
- DR Exarch with Icarus AND Fast Shot. Killed marines and the first drop pod with Homing Beacon. Bought me at least some time...
- Eldrad Force Weaponed a Librarian down and holding heīs own with DAīs, until got cut down only by a force sword...
- Mediocre performance by bikes (altough, didnīt fail any morale saves) and WWīs. Dice was not with me on the 5+ saves today...and the first time, that shooting the Serpent shield cost me a WS (and probably the game)...
But if you are a Blood Angels -player, i recommend this list against the new Eldar...threw me off the loop...:rolleyes:
