Eldar vs Ultramarines (5,000pts)

[gr00v3r]

Sunday's game was the Eldar (horse) vs the Ultramarines (GR00V3R).

horse fielded an Aspect-heavy force backed up with some armour and a couple of Revenant titans, while I took a drop-oriented force of two complete Battle Companies supported by some armour and two Reaver titans.

The game was very close throughout, and was looking to go my way, until--on Turn 3--horse managed to kill a Reaver (taking his BTS victory condition), and then took my blitz objective with an asault out of the Webway Gate (simultaneously taking the Blitzkrieg condition and denying me the They Shall Not Pass condition). I had taken only the Take And Hold condition, and so the Eldar won the day 2-1.

This was a great fun game. Really close and very much enjoyed by both players. ;D

Glad to hear the day was a good 'un - close fought too...

Shame that there's no photos...

Great to hear that it was such a good game, the points are up.

I'm gonna have some time off in April/May, I think its time for a Really Big Game!

I'm keen for The Big Game!

But...I'm already taking time off in April, and those days combined with Easter means I'll be taking a hit of not being paid for 4 days in the month (the downside of being a contractor--you come to dislike public holidays), so I can only put my hand up for games held on weekends in later April or May at this point, sorry.

No stress, we'll see how we can swing it. Im actually being forced to take the holidays as our plant is shutting down for a $130 million dollar upgrade...
