Battle Report - 3rd ed 40k

 Hello Folks,

Today was 3rd ed tine at Fandom again. This time I took some blood angels to fight the Dark Eldar. Mission wise we went for cleanse, one if the classics. Control table quarters to win.

Here's the set up, dreadnought right up front to force back the Eldar, with terminators and death company, predator and Scouts in thd back to hold quarters and flanks around, and a tactical in a rhino to push into the left corner. Also have a plane in reserve. Eldar have lots of grotesque deployed and stuff in a few raiders.

Turn 1 advance up, death company about yo charge in and do what they do.

Raiders advance and kill dready and my rhino, but the death company have the grotesque killed now finishing some witches. 

Great turn for me killing all 3 raiders and leaving he dark eldar mostly pinned. Terminators even got theirs in close combat.

All the Dark Eldar can really do is have the talos charge the terminators, but with crazy lucky saves he only gets 1.

On my turn he whifs again and gets pummeled down by power fists. My tactical finishes a warrior squad, and thd death company charge the incubi. They are crazy dangerous for marines so this is dicey. But it's a bit awkward terrainwise so only a few can fight at a time. I think this accidently works I  my favor as it keeps the archon out.

Grotesque charge the terminators after getting shot up by my plane a big. Terrible match for them but they are chipping away guys.

Last stadium of thd brave cyclone guy.

Incubi beat the death company, but only 2 incubi and the archon survive, the predator tank imnedatly foes for the incubi. Looking grim Dark Eldar wise, but they are determined to kill every marine possible!

Plane zooms in, no more grotesques.

Archon charges in, losing 1 wound to drugs. Butchers 5 marines, but I fall black and blastvhim with bolters. Finally fails a shadow field save and the find goes down!

A win for thd marines with all the Dark Eldar killed, but many of humanities bravest joined them.

All and all very good game! I think it swung allot on very lucky rolls from me. 3rd ed continues to deliver very goid games.

Bringing out the Baneblade next tine so look forward to that beast!

Thanks;

Mike
