So me and a friend went to the local hobby shop for a game and possibly to enter a tourny. After a while of standing around watching another and talking with the other gamers I asked my friend if we were going to battle or if he was just going to paint. He said 'ya lets battle', so we got set up.
We came to the store prepared to battle some other dudes that said they were going to be there, but when they never showed up we took our lists against each other. our game was at 850pts. we played a seize ground game with spearhead deployment. There were 3 objectives.
I played space marines, he played eldar. The lists were something like this.
Eldar
farseer
dire avengers x9 and exaurch/ waveserpent
dire avengers x9 and exaurch/ waveserpent
guardian squad with missile platform
ya I think that's right, if not I'm sure Reaper will correct me.
Space Marines
captain/ razorback
tac. squad/ rhino transport
tac. squad/ rhino transport
vindicator
I'm going into details but if you want them just ask.
Any way this is what happened.
Turn 1: Eldar go first, I fail to seize the initiative. The eldar stay relatively still, just moving the guardians weapon platform to shoot at my vindicator. The platform misses leaving my army completely untouched. I take my turn, move my tanks around some terrain to fire on the waveserpents. I also do nothing to his army.
Turn 2: The eldar after noticing the distance between them and my vindicator move back to keep my cannon from destroying their hulls. They open fire on my vindicator and again do nothing. The space marines move farther up the field, tac. squads still in rhinos. My vindicator fires through cover at his guardian squad killing 6 guardians. My razorback fires his las cannon turret at the closest waveserpent, and rolls a wrecked result on the vehicle dame chart.
Turn 3: All the eldar are gathered at the far end of the board pinned down by my units. The eldar fire upon my vindicator and the closest rhino. Again they do nothing. His dire avengers spread out their formation to keep from getting obliterated by my vindicator. My rhinos move up past the first objective to sit on the second and third. My vindicator fires on the guardians killing 2 more. The dire avengers lose 2 models to storm bolter fire from my rhinos.
Turn 4: The eldar finally do something to my army, they fire and immobilize my rhino sitting on the 3rd objective. The last of the waveserpents moves up unloading the dire avengers by my tac. squad that unloaded from the immobilized rhino and bladestorm killing 3 marines. My vindicator hits his target and kills 3 dire avengers. My tac. squad kills another 5 dire avengers.
Turn 5: The waveserpent rams my rhino, does nothing. His guardian squad fails to hit, and his dire avengers charge my tac. squad. The dire avengers kill none of my marines and I kill 2 dire avengers, they roll for moral and stay in combat. My vindicator fails to hit, my razorback immobilizes his final waveserpent, my marines kill off the rest of his dire avengers in combat.
The dice is rolled to continue but the game ends.
Total: Eldar objectives: 0 Space marines: 2
The space marines ended the game with an immobilized rhino and 3 dead marines. The eldar faced their defeat with only a 2 guardians left. Their waveserpent was immobilized but all of its weapons were gone.
All in all a crushing defeat for the eldar and an epic win for the space marines. But we agreed it was a good game.
