Alan rolled Scriers Gaze, Misfortune and a Csm power. We roll off and Alan chooses to go first.

Mission is Emperor's Will

I chose not to seize.

Turn 1. He hides his sorcerer under a level in his left ruin so that I can Orbital him. He moves his wraithstar into the building and spreads out to mitigate my bombing next turn.

Bottom Turn 1- I pass Prescience, Perfect Timing and Forewarning with Tigurius on my squad with centurions, Calgar and Shield Eternal Master. 

I pass Prescience into Coteaz, Clan Master, and Storm Shield Master.

I shoot 3 Orbitals but 2 scatter off even with rerolls, 5 Lascannons, 5 Missile Launchers and Calgar's Guantlet into hisDest Lord and Wraiths.

He takes two wounds on the lord and loses 4 wraiths to instant deaths wounds. Incoming!!!!

Top Turn 2 - With Scryers Gaze up he gets leave his cultists in reserves and all 7 of his flyers come in. Yikes!! I almost freaked out.

Dark Eldar Painting Project

After a hiatus I got the painting itch. I really wanted to paint Dark Eldar. I found my buddy Devon that wanted to trade Dark Eldar so I traded him for some of my spare space marine bikes and some spare Daemons units I wasnt using.

I got the following from the trade.
3 Venoms
2 Ravagers
1 Razorwing Jetfighter
1 Void Raven Bomber

And I got to painting right away. Here are some pics of the basecoats. Decided to go with Green and White colors. They blend well together.

I have the 4 Chapter Masters with the Tau Commander and Centurions. Throw 4 Orbitals per game that ignore cover and twin linked. With Iron Hands I will  be getting 6+ Feel No Pain and It Will Not Die on my Masters. Ill use the Riptide to take out a flyer here and there and taking out infantry with SMS. Troops are weak but Ill keep them in reserve and then go after objs. The Centurions will be my tank busters and when I can Ill shoot frag missiles at infantry. 

This GT is known for taking nasty lists as we saw last year. Im expecting alot many Double Force Org lists its gonna get crazy. Hope to see you guys all there.

If I did an error somewhere please let me know.
