My Eldar got their first outing since well before the new 6th edition rules came out and it sparked my love interest for them again.
I played a 2 on 2 battle allying up with another Eldar player. We faced Ultramarines and space wolves.
I took on the brunt of the space wolves and gave them a bloody nose.
2 entire hunter squads fell to bladestorming dire avengers. I've grown fond of avengers. They did well in the new codex and only by gaining the bladestorm and battle focus special rules. It's also very fluffy to have avengers in an iyanden army having the shrine of Asurmen on the craftworld itself.
We only got to turn 2 but did well for what was at the time, a draw.
I lost a fire prism on turn one and also sustained damage to my second prism and one of my waveserpents.
Half my forces in the guise of 3 jetbike squadrons and two units of warp spiders were held in reserve. On coming on the board on turn 2 the spider helped wipe out a unit of grey hunters, a lone wolf and a rune priest while my war walkers only just brought down a thunder wolf lord before he brought bloody carnage to my lines.
I'm looking forward to my next battle but need to get my army painted. At the moment it's a terrible hitch potch of failed paint jobs.
