Well, I played my first game of the year against my buddies new Eldar, and got my arse kicked! It was a fun game though.
We played the mission where we are on a moon base and the defender (me) is trying to evacuate a high ranking individual to a shuttle.
Well, his first turn of shooting ended that idea when he blew up my Land Raider, killing said individual. This then just turned the game into a brutal annihilation game with rending weapons everywhere and all infantry able to jump.
My list, which was just a list put together from what I had, was
Wolf Priest-RA, WTN, WTT, MB's-140
Rune Priest-LL, MH-100
Wolf Guard-Arjac, 2x Frost Axes, 2x CombiMeltas/Fists, 4x Wolf Claws, 1x TH/SS-610 (I know, big big points sink, but just what I have at current)
2x Grey Hunter Packs-Melta Gun, Wolf Standard, MotW-165
2x Drop Pods
2x Long Fangs-5x Missile Launchers
Land Raider Crusader-Multi Melta-260
Predator
I know this list really doesn't have a lot of synergy really, but just what I had on hand.
His list was (roughly)
Autarch (with Swooping Hawks
Avatar
Banshees
Striking Scorpions
Fire Dragons
2x Guardian units with heavy weapons
Guardian Jetbikes
Dire Avengers
Warp Spiders
Swooping Hawks
Reapers
Falcon
Fire Prism
So, first turn I was able to knock out the Fire Prism and the Banshee squad, and moved the LRC with passenger towards the shuttle.
His first turn of shooting blew up said LRC, killing the passenger. He then wiped the first podded Grey Hunters with the Avatar.
After this it was just a bloody bloody game. He tabled me by turn 6 (only had two drop pods on the board) and he still had: 1 Guardian squad, Reapers, Falcon, Swooping Hawks with Autarch and one Warp Spider.
This game gave me a good feel for the Eldar and what to change. Obviously the Mega unit in the LRC is only for games that are pure fun, or Apoc, so leave them at home
Units that did well:
Grey Hunters-They performed above average, slaying anything in their path. Downfall, not nearly enough of them. (Don't worry, I have more in the mail)
Long Fangs-They did great knocking down the Fire Prism, and murdering units like the Striking Scorpions before they got to assault anything. Downfall, Swooping Hawks.
So, like one brother mentioned, more bodies is what I need. Plans for next list (when I get the models) will be 4 or more Grey Hunter packs in Pods supported by Long Fangs from range. Vehicles don't last against Eldar it seems.
Also my new years resolution, play more 40k! And get an army painted!
