Looking at dropping the Reavers for another unit of Warriors, then give both Warrior units Dark Lances also. Sounds like a great idea really.

What do you think?

Dark Eldar Project: The Incubi


I am building a Dark Eldar army to paint and play something new in my local store's (Heroes Games & Hobbies) most recent Warhammer 40k Escalation League that started the first week of January 2011.

 An Elite slot on the Force org chat, Incubi are one of the only places in the Dark Eldar codex where you can find concentrated power weapons - everyone has them! The major drawback being lack of assault grenades...




At this stage all I have done really is clean up the pewter models and put them together. Each Incubi model was five parts - the body, weapon, head, and two trophy blades.



After the usual basecoat routine, I touched up the initial paintjob and then glued the unit to their bases. Ready for paint!

"Head Hunters" Tau vs Dark Eldar 1500pt BATTLE REPORT


Tau vs Dark Eldar 1500pt Video Battle Report. Playing one of the Great Escape Games Contest of Champion missions called "Head Hunters." Spearhead, modified Seize Ground.

Each side had to designate a single HQ choice as overall commander. That commander was worth an extra objective if killed, or three extra objective if killed by opposing overall enemy commander.

Blue Tau took the iniative and forced Dark Eldar to go first. The Nemesis Attack Force executed another low orbit raid....

"Walk The Line" IG vs SW 1500pt BATTLE REPORT


Imperial Guard vs Dark Eldar 1500pt Video Battle Report. Playing one of the Great Escape Games Contest of Champion missions called "Walk The Line." Another Pitched Battle and Modified Seize Ground.

Each objective was worth d3 rolled during setup, so with some neat possibilities possible we rolled 1 for each of the three.

Imperial Guard Commander gave the initiative to the Dark Eldar in some dirty ploy to get targets on the board quicker. It worked! Duke Sliscus, three units of wyches in Venoms and Raiders, and a tiny squad of Kabal Warriors hid in reserve while the Sneaky Razorwing Jetfigher, Ravager, and Reaver Jetbikes positioned for pain....

"Shifting Sands" BA vs SW 2k BATTLE REPORT



Blood Legion vs Wolfbrothers 2000pt Video Battle Report. Playing one of the Great Escape Games Contest of Champion missions called "Shifting Sands." Basically Pitched Battle and Modified Seize Ground.

I have been playing the Logan Blade list lately. Today it was a variant, dropping the Lone Wolves for Njal and some other rearrangements. General Oadius should post his list shortly.

Space Wolves won the roll for deployment and gave turn one to the Blood Angels. Each turn each objective was worth d3 cumulative "objective points." After the Wolfbrother deployment, General Oadius dropped a Blood Legion Dreadnought onto the Wolf lines and moved his fast scoring vehicles onto the objectives....
