Blogings of a newb with dark eldar (updated 01/03 before torni)

I have decided if its ok with the mods that i will do a sort of blog with my dark eldar as try and improve my abilty and play around with different units as such i will change the tittle as i update. I find doing this sort of thing helps with lerning mistakes and better players can help guide me into being a improved player

Thanks and link fixed

Aaaalright, nice report! Some random comments:

Oh my god, a thunderhawk as a terrain piece! That was either extraordinarily expensive or a very nice scratch built one. Cool stuff and a very nice table in general.

The game itself seemed like a very balanced 3 way. Biggest issue with 3 way is to get even chances for all players and to prevent "teaming up" of two players. That was sort of mitigated by very friendly players and a good system for victory points.

It was entertaining to watch, especially those raiders that just would not go down.

Big issue though, as you have adressed: Deployment. 24" from all enemy units is a good rule on paper, but leads to big issues in practice, since you as a DE player had almost nowhere to deploy thus leaving your important beast unit in reserve. Had you had more space to deploy you could have played a lot more aggressively. I think that should be reworked to give each player a dedicated deployment zone. From the top of my head and without a table for geometry in front of me I think 12" from the home objective might be a good idea, with the homeobjective in turn having to be within a fixed number of inches from the table edge so that nobody can deploy right in the middle of the table.


In conclusion: good report, spoken with a clear voice. do more of these!

thanks for the comments with the table we try and make sure with have a good amount of scenery on the board. yer deployment is a problem the big thing is making sure there are no turn one charges which can completely change how the game works but was fun and a good start for my new force!

So on saturday im heading up to a 2 day torniment 1750, 6 games all the book missions. no i dont intend to win at this point but will be a good way to get 6 games in as such i plan on tacking eliments of all the bits i like just to see how it works. i feel the list is a little light on anti tank and scoreing also im franticly trying to get it all painted in time so there might be sore un planed mods. i will do short vids after each game (i hope) or some sort of right up. so her is the list
