Dont bring a spoon to a knife fight....
So i played the Eldar..
For the first time i brought a knight!
Big mistake.. I chose between the paladin or the lancer knight and i made the poor choice and took the lancer.
For you who haven't read the rules for the lancer its the same as the regular ones but he cant move his shield to the rear, have a 5++ in close combat, other GMC and super Heavy's has a -1 to hit, +1 initiative on the charge and its shooting attack is 6 s7 shoots that is concussive. but its only 18" inch and he can run 3d6. 400pts.
what it had time to do in the fight was move up and make a run move, The eldar player moved up a serpent, ran up his fire dragons and blew it up turn 1.. so i am down 400 points the first turn..
i managed to kill a couple of spiders, 2 serpents with avengers, and some bikes before it was all over.
my list was
1 lvl 2 librarian
Coteaz
3x7+seargeant marines 1 Multi melta, 1 Lascannon, 1 Missile Launcher
1 Storm talon with the s7 missiles
1x3 centurions with grav
1 thunder fire
1 Land raider redeemer
1 rhino
1 Razorback
imperial knight Lancer
his was: (this is from memory)
1 farseer on bike
2x 5 bikes with scatter lasers
3x5 serpents with 5 dire avengers (for the formation that gives them BS 5)
1 Falcon
6 fire dragons
5 spiders
1 falcon
1 fire prism
1 Wraith knight with 2 D cannons and 2 scatter lasers
i think that was it...
turn one when casting prescience on my cents coteaz perils and rolls a 1.. so no invisibility on the knight.
i shouldn't have been so aggressive with the knight but it belongs in CC so i wanted it up there. to be fair the fire dragons moved 6+4 and have 12" and only got a couple of them in there but still managed to pluck all 6 hull points with ease.. +3 to the damage chart is really unnecessary for a squad that everyone carries a meltagun. Next time, if i play my marines against him i wont be using the lancer, but the paladin so i can get some shots in before i get the D.
we will have a re-match on Wednesday and i will bring my Daemons.. i will try to conjure the most evil list i can muster... the eldar filth must be put down.
what gets me is the amount of s6 shots he can pump out every round and with everything twin linked or BS5 i get to roll so many saves its not fun..
Hopefully my next report will be more joyous.
