SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I love the ethereal smoke you have put on your bases, i think that really works. I may have to start a thread like this for my new GK army. Thanks for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarn Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Played eldar. He took the jetbike base formation with a farseer, 3 units of warp spiders in another formation, 3 flyer formation and a wraithknight. I took draigo, an inquisitor, a libby, 5 pallies, 5 termies, 10 Interceptors and a dreadknight. My libby took librarius and got the +2 stat power, the psychic attack that can take powers and a lame beam power that did nothing at all. Draigo and inq joined the pallies, libby with the termies. I went first and shunted into jetbikes with Interceptors, killing 2 units including the farseer with a psyk out grenade. The wraithknight one shotted my dreadknight, which was killed by draigo in a single assault phase. The toughness 6 librarian tanked way more than he should have been able too before he died via stupid eldar flyer, but the real stars were the Interceptors who took out all the jetbikes and 2 units of warp spiders in combat. I ended up with 3 pallies left with draigo and the inquisitor still alive. Draigo gated to one objective the turn 7 whilst the pallies grabbed another, giving me a 14-16 win. Not the strongest eldar list, but I'll take a win over eldar any day of the week. Librarius was ok, sanctic is still better for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolvin Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 You did really well considering you only had a single dreadknight. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarn Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks, though he only had one wraithknight to be fair. That eldar book is so good though, everything in that army hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Ha ha, I love the mental image of an Interceptor squad shunting into a Farseers face and hander her a grenade, " Present from the Emperor. " BOOM!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rurik the blessed Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Excellent! you did it well... i really fear Eldars. they are so OP!. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 So, Lord Draigo wiped a Wraithknight in one turn? Got to be worth his points total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarn Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yeah, he tanked 2 hits and did 11 wounds to it in one go. Dang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Yeah, he tanked 2 hits and did 11 wounds to it in one go. Dang! ELEVEN ??? I didn't know he could put out that much hurt. Back to my Codex, NEED to add Lord Draigo to anti Ork force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolvin Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Force + Hammerhand. He only has 5 attacks on the charge but each wound would do d3 wounds. It can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarn Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 He got charged by the wk, but the pally banner gave him an extra attack. Did 4 hits, 5 after the mc reroll. 4 wounds (hammerhand was on), i rolled 6, 5, 5, 3 for the d3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Kinda new to GK, not played Eldar, ever, so please forgive me. WK is a Gargantuan Creature? Which is D3 wounds instead of ID. Cool, I get that. Force is a wonderful thing. Hammerhand, A truly awsome thing for Draigo and his Sword. So that's 4 hits rolled, 5 with Master Crafted re roll, Force (ID) hits. You rolled for 11 wounds. That's freaking awsome. And the WK save was negated by the Swords AP? You must must have loved that moment. Draigo at 2" (7ft) kills a Gargantuan WK, 10" (35ft) tall, out right in one round of combat, after being charged. For me, that's the sort of moment that would take a game that I lost, to a "I don't care if you won, I killed that" victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarn Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Yep it was great. Draigo is phenomenal as a gargantuan killer, especially the non vehicle ones. With the new faq saying you can look out sir stomps, he's even better. My favourite matchup though was my 60pt malleus inquisitor one shotting skarbrand. Normal human fights khorne's number 1 daemon up close, 1 vs 1, and banishes him. Gamewise, i charged, reducing him to initiative 1. Grimoire of True Names meant I had 4s to hit, rolled 3 hits out of 5 attacks. 6s to wound, 1 wound, he didnt save, force sword instagibbed him.

marvmoogy Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 My GK reinforcements have got lost in the warp. Expected translation was 3-7 days...it's now been 13 days without a sign... Really gutted as its looking like they've been lost in the post. Hope the paint man has the tracking info.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 The Astronomican blipped, all will be good Brother, have faith, or a good insurance policy to pay for it all again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Don't.....Draigo, a Libby, 6 termies, 7 pallies, 2 dreads (1 Forgeworld and one venerable with the now oop Forgeworld torso) a storm Raven and a razorback with FW doors and psycannkn turret. Don't want to even consider it lost for good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTT_FRANCIS Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 That's a bundle and a half, I am praying to the dice gods, the chaos gods, the gods of chance, the gods of gods, all of them for the safe delivery of your reinforcements. I did refuse to sell my soul though. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Haha...all prayers gratefully received. I've been holding off on photos of my force as some of my last batch needed slight alterations so it wasn't complete. Anyway, after this batch, there are just a few infantry, a third dread and a Vortimer Redeemer to go....the first one of many projects that will have reached the 'complete' stage!* *assuming the lost reinforcements turn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvmoogy Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Well....after some time, we still don't have reinforcements. But, a message has been received that they are in the final stages of translation and *should* be here mid-week. Pics will be put up when the arrive!

skarn Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Had a 1000pt game against daemonkin. My list- inquisitor, 5 henchmen in valkyrie Ml3 libby 5 termies 5 interceptors dreadknight He had - A hellbrute & cultist formation 20 bezerkers in a massive drop pod that could charge when they landed. Quick game, basically my termies took out the helbrute when they landed then got charged by 20 zerks, including a champ with an axe of khorne. My libby rolled on librarius and got the reroll saves and the other power which adds to int, attacks, str etc. He went full dragon ball z and took out 5 zerks before they could hit. Thanks to the reroll power the termies took 1 wound from about 80 attacks. Game was over next turn when the libby took 8 more zerks out over both assault phases. Never seen a psychic power be so useful before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
