Eldar vs Tzeentch 2000 points match

By
Hi All, Martin here.

Sam recently asked me for a 2000 point game so he could try out his Tzeentch army to get a feel for what units he might put together to make a competative list. Normally I would just run, in true Saim Hann style, Jetbikes, Jetbikes and a few Jetbikes on the side but Sam asked if I could bring all my 'Big Guns' so he could really see hopw his army performed.

I took:

Craftworld Warhost

Windrider Host consisting of a Skyrunner Farseer, A skyrunner Warlock, A vyper with 2 Shuriken Cannons and 3 squads of 3 Windriders, all upgraded with Shuriken Cannons.

A Nightspinner

A Fire Prism

A Wraithknight with 2 Heavy Wraithcannons

Aspect Host consiting of 4 Dark Reapers, 5 Fire Dragons and 5 Warp Spiders


Combined Arms Detachment

HQ - Warlock

Troops - 3 sqauds of 5 Dire Avengers (Dire Avenger Shrine formation)

Elites - 5 Wraithgaurd

Fast Attack - Crimson Hunter

Heavy Support - Vaul's Wrath Support Battery with a D-Cannon


  
We deployed for Contact Lost counting the hills as a 5+ cover save due to a lack of ruins available.

Sam won the roll and took the 1st turn after I failed to take the initiative.

His flying HQ's made quick work getting right in to the fight!!


 I havent really used my Wraithknight before so I sat it at the back for most of the game taking overpowered shots at Sams Daemons. In future I will be alot more agressive with it and get it into the fight for some Fist-i-cuffs!!

 Sams skimmers brought the fight to my side of the field, quickly joined by his Warlord



 I threw as much fire power at them as I could and quickly reduced them to a smoking wreck.


 Sams Horrors made a conga line to hold objective 3 whilst still being in range for his Psychic attacks (He had in excess of 30 Warp charges per turn!!) 
My warp spiders later jumped over and quickly despatched them back to the hell they came from

Sam played very wisely holding vital cover and at 1st casting multiple Cursed Earths to give himself a re-rollable  2+ Invun Save!! Thankfully his units started to seperate by turn 2 reducing this to something I could actually deal damage to.


It was an awesome game, and it ended with me winning by a single Line breaker point!! Im looking forward to Sams next test list!!

Confessions of a Warhammer Wife

By
Confessions of a Warhammer Wife Bruce’s obsession with Warhammer was only revealed to me during our second year of dating. We had been together a long time by then – had even lived together for the majority of that time while at University. And still I didn’t know about this one aspect of Bruce’s nerd-dom. When Bruce and I first began dating I was fully aware of – even besotted by - his nerdy credentials. Together we had played hours of Halo 3 and Mario Kart, swapped manga and even visited the cinema for a solo late night screening of Star Trek. Yet this did not prepare me for what would become one of his main loves in life. It all started back in 2012. We had been living separately back at our parents’ homes after University – me in Yorkshire, he in Worcester. I would often travel down to visit him and on one such occasion I was told of a new friend Bruce had made through work. Damien. They had apparently bonded when Bruce had taken on old model – a Tyranid Warrior I beli

Batman - Harley Crew vs Riddler Crew

By
Hey all, its Martin, With my Riddler crew fully assembled and painted, I was itching to have a game of Batman, and Bruce took me up on the offer. Bruce took the Global Plan Strategy and so selected the 'Ambush' Scenario. His team became the attackers as he had a higher model count. I had selected the Fast Advance and Patrol strategies, allowing me a larger deployment zone, and also allowing me to deploy 1 model outside of this zone. In hindsight, the Fast advance was a bad idea as it reduced the areas I could deploy my Clue Markers!! I would have been better to choose a strategy like 'snitch', to cancel out one of my opponent strategies; in this game it would have forced a random scenario again. Being the attacker, Bruce had to divide his crew into 2 teams and deploy 1 team within 10cm of the table edge on 2 opposite sides of the fantastic board created by Andy from Worcester Wargames. Within each of these teams. I then deployed my crews inside a 20cm wide area ru
