1500 Point Batrep: Orks vs. Dark Eldar

I'm much more pleased with the presentation of this battle report than the previous one (where I faced off against the Blood Angels). Let me know what you guys think

I know it was a fun game, but not shooting the looters bothered me.

Looters were the biggest threat to your army, as they were one of the few units that could reach out and shoot you. On your turn 3 when you pointed all those venoms at that one storm boy, you should have pointed them at the looters and at least forced them to go to ground.

Ideally though, shooting 2 venoms at the looters in the ruin turn 1 and every turn after that would have forced enough saves to make them go to ground (halving their damage output before taking into account casualties). Not to mention if you force a leadership test on them, they could run off the board, or lose more models due to the mob rule.

Thanks for sharing the pain.

Glad you enjoyed the show Mushkilla! To be honest I'm more concerned with rolling dice and moving models these days -- struggling to make Grey Knights work for several months wore me out

Figured. Pure Grey Knights are tough, but great fun once you get them working, it can be pretty frustrating at times though. I like to keep them cheap (no halberds/no falshions/no paladins) and deepstrike heavy (no vehicles).

Bit of a false comment at the start.
Claiming it's not a competitive list, yet your running venom spam vs orks, and the dark artisan.
Running competitive lists is cool, but don't claim it isn't.

Great battle report dude.
I just love the randomness that comes with the orks.

Great battle report one again and hope to see more of them from you. Keep the good work up
