Rolled out Leadership and Deployment. Ignore the planet in the picture as we are not actually going to use it. I deployet a bit carelessly as I just wanted to get started. He split the Swords into two Squadrons, and deployed with as little thought as I had.


Top of Turn 1
Ran the batteries up at breakneck speed, as well as the cruiser. Honestly... probably a mistake. The cruiser pupped out 4 assault craft which will go after his escorts. If I can score a Slave raid it will kill the escort and count for +10 VPs for slaves!
My current goal is to remove those and what ever is left standing will out fly the larger ships and their sad little 45 degree turns. Focus firing on the Overlord first, hence the lances held back.

Awesome. I love bfg.

Awesome to see DE in another game! If I see a Epic Armageddon report using DE this will be me:

Great stuff! Playing Battle fleet gothic by email is so much cooler then playing chess by email. Good to see a specialist game getting some attention.

Didn't you get the memo about the Realspace Raid Epic Armageddon rejuvenation project?

...might have to look into a way to get that done... GW has the rules on their site for it too, right?

they are, but dark eldar are fan made for epic, so your have to visit there site and see if you can get your hands on their rules

Look at Tactical Command's site and look for Epic Raiders 2.0. They made actual books for it, but they are quite rare. You can download it from the site(this is what I did). You have to convert all of the models from Eldar models, but give the new 40k DE range this would be MUCH easier to do know. Amongst all hardcore Epic players view these "official unofficial". And trust me, if you are still playing Epic you are a hardcore fan. Sad really as the game is one of their best games that they have produced. PM me if you can't find it.
