Battle Report - Warhammer 40k

 Hello Folks,

Time for so more 3rd ed 40k action!

This week I took my newy painted Steel Legion vehicles, and was facing the Dark Eldar.

We got a Dark Eldar mission, Feint. Idea is they have 2 units in thd mid board and I follow them and get ambushed by the rest. Victory wise who ever kills the most units wins.

I set up a bit of a city table.


Here's the set up, basically a squad in an APC on each side backed up with heavy weapons, with a tank and command in the middle. Dark Eldar have witches fwd on the right, and warriors behind the round building.


Dark Eldar get to go first charging with the witches and shooting a bit with the warriors. The witches don't kill my tank but prevent it from moving away.


On my turn I advance the tank and blast the warriors on the hill. They have Dark lances which in theory are good at killing my tank. My lascannons take put the tank pinning the incubi inside. On the left my guy get out and shoot up the other warriors. Melee wise the witches kill my tank and heavy bolters.

Dark boys turn, they use it killing my foot soldiers. Only 2 of the 20 survive the turn, plus the command I guess. The dark lances can't kill my tank but shake him so he can't shoot back.

Things are getting troublesome now. Lots of good melee units closing in on my commander. But I am able to get the Sentinels to charge and start stomping the warriors.

Dark Eldar lord gets in a sword fight with the lascannon teams, that's no good.

But my tank is the hero I need, finally able to shoot again he roasts the witches with his many flames. As the emperor inended!

A few more turn but that's the main action.

In the mathematics phase we tally the score, the Dark Eldar had like 5 models left vs my probably 6, but kill points wise they had 1 more so we're victorious!

Thanks;

Mike
