Vanquish 2013 - game 2: Eldar

My second game of the day was against Eldar. A well painted host from the early seen Luggnath craft world. My opponent fielded two units of Harlequins who would later prove difficult to deal with and a very dangerous D-cannon battery.

The board was terrain heavy with limited fields of fire which oddly didn't have that much effect on the game.

I dropped my sternguard first turn and killed his wraithlord claiming first blood. His harlequins took on the stern guard and Lysander taking 4 turns to wipe them out.

He boldy moved a fire dragon stuffed wave serpent into my deployment zone before getting shot to blitz by my dreadnought, predator and 2 tactical squads. As the dust settled only the exarch and Fuegan survived. I assaulted with both tax squads and 3 turns later, through sheer weight of numbers killed off the Phoenix lord.

Somehow I managed to force a panic test on the crew of the d-cannon battery who fled off the table alongwith the Eldar Farseer warlord!

My enemy was on the back foot all game unable the gain the upper hand. As an Eldar player myself I sympathised, but not for long.

Result: Victory
