My opponents list was something like:8 DA bikes 2 with plasma,
1 DA tac squad with missile w/ flak
with Librarian
Drop Pod with 10 man sternguard squad combat squaded into two units on deployment
2 tac squads in Rhino's
1 Assault squad with Commander attached
1 Land Raider
Scout Squad with tellion
We rolled Hammer and Anvil, and Big Guns Never Tire with 4 objectives.
Due to the way the league does deployment we choose deployment zones last, just before deploying so my 2 objectives ended up being in his deployment zone, while the two he placed ended up one in my zone, and one just outside.
We rolled no night fight turn one, and totally forgot it on turn 5. I failed to seize, so he went first.
Turn 1: He dropped his pod and stern guard in and split them into two five man teams. He killed one scout, and put a wound on my broadsides. He moved his Rhino's up and popped smoke, the land raider moved up and fired. No much else hit.
Turn 1 bottom: I wasted most of my shooting trying to kill 5 sternguard for first blood. Eldrad got Hallucination on the second squad with the "Erm Derp" result (They couldn't do anything their turn). I only killed 3 out of 5 stern guard, failed to do much with the rest of my shooting and but finally with my last broadside team exploded a Rhino for first blood instead.
Turn 2: His bikers came in from reserve, and I managed to kill 2 with the Icarus Lascannons interceptor rule combined with my Dark Reaper Exarchs Fast Shot ability. He moved his land raider ahead, and did some shooting and took out some crisis suits.
Turn 2 Bottom: Eldrad Pinned the stern guard with halucination. Killed 1 of 2 stern guard in the other team. Killed 3 more bikers with fire from fire warriors. Popped the rhino that was hidden in the near ruin, then killed a suit jumping onto terrain leaving one suit in that unit. The landraider resisted my efforts to kill it.Turn 3: His Assault squad and Warlord showd up. The shot and killed 6 out of 9 firewarriors who fell back. Tack squad in the ruin moved up to the upper floors to snipe at my Dark Reavers.
Turn 3 bottom: Our game was running super late at this point.. We were supposed to start at 7:30, but didn't start till nearly 8:30.. I forgot to take any more pictures so I'll sum it up.
He wiped out the Dark Reapers for 1 VP and in the end held his two objectives for 6 more.
I killed his warlord in shooting, shot the remaining solo stern guard, he assaulted my broadsides with the 3 remaining stern guard in the other unit, lost one to overwatch and lost the other 2 from CC. I shot up the tac squad in the ruin which fell back, then consolidated back into the ruin where I had to shoot them with Pathfinders, 2 broadsides, and 9 firewarriors, and ultimately assaulted the remaining Sgt with 4 pathfinders, 2 of whom he killed, but I killed him at the bottom of 5 where we ended the game. I had First blood, slay the warlord, I killed one heavy (the land raider) and held 2 objectives for a total of 9 to his 7..
All in all it was a close game. I discovered my defense line is to tall and always blocks my LOS to enemy units that aren't right in front of it, except for Crisis Suits and Broadsides deployed behind it which can see over. Having 3 teams of Broadsides was underwhelming even with Eldrad attached giving one unit perfect timing.. The lack of troop transports, and the set up of terrain made it impossible for me to get into his deployment zone. I should have reserved a unit of Crisis suits to deep strike in..
Anyway, that's about it, I'm looking forward to trying this list out tomorrow against my other opponent and his Tyranid list.
