Battle Report - 40k 3rd Ed

 Hello Folks,

Time for more Classic Warhammer 40k action. Playing some more 40k 3rd edition, this time its my Craftworld Eldar vs the nasty Dark Eldar. As usually selected a mission from the battle book and got Out Flank.

2 objectives in my side, 1 for the Dark Eldar, but they are out flanking. Most objectives held at the end wins.

Here's the set up, the silver building, tau ship and round building in the far side are the objectives. I started mostly back but with the Wraithlord forward. Dark Eldar have 2 units of warriors deployed with wytches and incubi I'm reserve. I kept swooping hawks and war walkers in reserve.

Dark Eldar try a few shots, and I advance a bit nothing serious turn 1.

Turn 2 the wytches show up and start a melee for the tau ship. And the swooping halls drop grenades on a warrior squad killing most of them then land in the middle.

Turn 3 the dark eldar lord and his incubi show up on yhe Flank in their raider, not good. And the wytches have just about killed my storm squad.

Very lucky for me the wraith lord glances the raider with a missile, the rolls a 6 to destroy it! Leaving the incubi pinned and surrounded by flames.

Next turn the Dark Eldar lord seethes in frustration. But his guys are able to secure the tau ship and kill all but 1 hawk, could be worse.

Sadly on my turn the incubi all burn, the wraithlord then charges the Dark lord. He has a shadow field for a 2+ save but fails and is crushed by the mighty fist.

Next turn its an all out battle for the tau ship.

End of the game after turn 5. My walkers control the tau ship, the warriors have the round tower, and I forgot to put the wraithlord by the silver building so ots a tie!

Plugs the Dark Eldar took 2 slaves, so a tie + 2 slaves I guess?

Anyway very fun game!

Thanks;

Mike

Painting Update - Eldar

 Hello Folks,

Had a bit of time off this month to go home for a visit. Decides to work on sine more eldar stuff while i was there.

Got a couple of guardian squads dine and some walkers, pretty good progress.

Also got to try out a couple games of Age of Sigmar Spearhead:

Ghosts vs dwarves

Sigmar guys vs dwarves

It's a pretty fun game, easy to make an army, packs up small to travel but still lots to think about.

You get cards you can score for buffs, or use for powerful abilities.

Anyway thats all for now.

Thanks;

Mike

Painting Update - Age of Sigmar Spearhead & Bushido

 Hello Folks,

Finished some more painting projects, planing to try out Spearhead the new small scale age of sigmar game during summer vacation.

Nighthaunt:

First up got a force of spooky ghosts painted. Partly because I thought it would be fun and easy, and partly the ghosts are pretty cool!

Spearhead Terrain:

Also got the terrain set fir spearhead painted up, even did the little rules!

Bushido:

Also got the first half of the starter set fir Bushido done. Mostly I just think the models for this game are pretty cool. Did these mostly using speed paint 2.0 to try em out. 

That's all for now.

Thanks;

Mike
