A 9-1 win for the Eldar. The game had several highlights:

Spiritseer kills Vulcan He'stan with a Shuriken Pistol
Shining Spears shoot at then charge a 6 man space marine squad, miss with all their shots (3 shots with re-rolls...) then 2 die to overwatch and the exarch alone enters combat! He kills 1 without reply then hits and runs away... so 3 shots, and 3 close combat attacks all AP3 and I killed one marine :p

I tried a Troll Farseer, Mantle of the Laughing God gave him a 2+ re-rollable save then I took Telepathy powers and got Puppet Master. It wasn't that effective, I used Psychic Shriek the last few turns which killed a lot more. Still wasn't that effective though overall though.

Wraithguard with D-scythes though....lethal.
 
I learned that most of my list was ineffective (expected) and am working on a better idea shifting away from my idea of running a half company.

Brought 2 Riptides just for you this time :p

I have a room up, it's locked but just let me know when you want in.

Scratch that I lie, it's playing funny beggars again.
 
Great game!

I lost 7-0 which sounds although I got hammered but until the last turn if my Riptide didn't blow itself up (:D) I could have wiped out his ranger squad and won 4-3.

Really enjoyable and some more food for thought to tinker with my army list.

Cheers shami!
 
Great game, seemed very one sides until about turn 5 when I suddenly remembered we weren't going for kills and itr was very close from then on!

Highlights were the Riptide overcharging it's gun and killing itself on the last turn :D

Farseer Kinnear turbo boosted half way across the map to get linebreaker, then survived the whole army shooting at him (Ok it was only 2 skyrays a sniper drone and the Fireblade at that point!) He did Jink save from 6 missiles though :D

Actually as I've written this I've realised he shouldn't have got a jink save because smart missiles ignore cover :p But he would have got his 4+ inv Rune armour which is the same save!
 
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! I demand he dies!!!!!!!! :p

I think a good moment was the Riptide blowing up the Fire Prism with the worlds most statistically unlikely shot as well :D

To be honest Shami had an amazing turn one which put me soundly on the backfoot (lost all my Pathfinders so no markerlights) if I had been able to take first turn it might have turned out differently.

Good game :)
