New Dark Eldar, first two games now played...

[Lost Vyper]

Ok, two games under my belt now and the first one against the Necrons will be up in the Battle Reports -section in few hours...

Second game was against the CSM/Daemons and this was the list:

HQ

Archon
Shadow field, Haywire, Webway portal

Haemonculus
Webway portal, The Armor of Misery, Flesh Gauntlet, The Parasite´s Kiss
the Helm of Spite, the Archangel of Pain


TROOPS

Kabalite Warriors x 9
+
Raider
Night shields, Splinter Racks, Dark Lance

Wyches x 5
+
Venom
Dual Splinter Cannons

Wyches x 5
+
Venom
Dual Splinter Cannons


FAST

Razorwing Jetfighter
Dual Dark Lances, Night shields

Reavers x 9
3 x Blaster, 3 x Cluster Caltrops


HEAVY

Talos
Ichor Injector, tl Heat Lance


IYANDEN ALLIES:

HQ

Spiritseer
Spiritseer
Spiritseer

TROOP

Windrider Jetbikes x 3

So...we played Tactical Escalation and the result was....Dark Eldar victory 10-9!
So, before you cry cheese on the three Spiritseers, he had THREE Daemon Princes, lvl 3 psykers! I was like WTF? Because we agreed, that the second game had to fit in like two hours, due to the fact, that HE had to go to work...there he was throwing boons and powers and it took forever!

Well, enough rambling, here´s what worked :

- New PfP table is great! Even the 6 up FNP saved dudes!
- Night shields on everything, 3+ Jink rules! saved my transports and fliers for more turns for sure!
- Talos...insta-gibbed a Daemon Prince in CC...priceless...
- Reavers (if you can get them in CC) can now cause wounds on Daemon Princes, especially with Caltrops! Hit & Run is great too!
- Razorwings and the Missiles, they.do.damage...
- Armor of Misery, -2 LD? Hell yes! Fear? Hell yes!
- Helm of Spite

Aaannndddd what didn´t...:

- That f´n Salvo on Venoms, stupid! For to shoot, you have to go closer, or deploy them in ruins and pray they don´t immobilize...old one´s were better...
- My Psychic shenanigans failed to the Fearless factor on Daemons (Archangel of Pain...)...should have had the allies in the first game --> Terrify + Armor of Misery + Psychic Shriek = DOOM! Plus i rolled Invisibility too...that power should be banned, that´s just stupid...
- Wyches without Haywire and the basic crap armor saves on both troop-units...


All and all, after two games (Maelstrom), slightly positive vibe. Need more games under my belt, more coming on then. Check the batrep from the first game and like and subscribe my channel, if you like the shiznit!

Have a great weekend, here´s hoping, that´ll include LOADS of dice rollin!

A mistakes to point out:

Venoms do not care about Salvo. They always shoot as if they where stationary.


All vehicles have the Relentless special rule

I am sorry to be a spoilsport, but the Haemonculus can only take one artifact. Sentence 2 of the artifacts entry in the codex says that a model can 'take one of the following', not 'one each'. Both the iBook and paper version use that exact wording, see page 115 of the iCodex.

[Lost Vyper]

On the codex, page 109 "Only one of EACH of the following relics may be chosen PER ARMY" And on the Haemie "May take ITEMS from the Weapons of Torture, Tools of Torture and/or Artifacts of Cruelty"...

DARN VEHICLES RULE...well, actually GOOD, but, if i sport a pair of wooden eyes, hey...:) Thanks for pointing that out! (says the man and wipes the rosin from the eyes)

BTW, the BATREP from the first game now up!

[Charon]

Also Tokunator is right about the relics.

The relevant phrase in is the List:


Only one of each Artefact of Cruelty may be taken per army. A model may take one of the following:

[Drake118]

Yeah, sorry to say it, but your haemi was indeed illegal.

[Lost Vyper]

edited, yep, i stand corrected, it was in the page 69...well, there goes that too...:mad: Thank the godz, none of the things won me the game thou...

and that thubnail doesn´t go away...add insult to injury...:p

[generalchaos34]

Also Tokunator is right about the relics.

The relevant phrase in is the List:

Im not seeing it, it just says "Only one of each of the following relics may be chose per army" i do not see model, i do not see a limit to the amount on a character, simply that only one may be taken at all, i.e. you can't have 2 djinn blades.

Because Vyper has linked a picture of the wrong page, its in the entry for archons/Haemonculi/Succubi...

What Vyper doesn't know is that is also has to click the delete atachments button in the advanced editor as well as removing the text from the post to remove "uploaded" images
