Last Sunday was a 4-way free-for-all at 2000pts per player on a modified version of the Relic mission with my Necrons against Chaos Marines, Space Wolves and Orks.

Managed to squeeze in 5 turns, and I managed to pull off the win by grabbing two of the four Relics in turn 4 and keeping my hands on them (in no small part thanks to some devious unit placement) through turn 5. 

Afraid the photos are a bit on the blurry side, I think my camera took a dislike to the lighting as it was having issues with the shadows around terrain.

Wednesday night was a 1500pt Eldar vs Dark Eldar showdown. We rolled Relic on Hammer and Anvil, I castled up behind some ruins while my opponent struck out towards the centre.

I got really lucky when he failed a couple of charges turn 2 against my tanks, allowing me to catch his Wyches in the open with Guardians and gun them down. Although I made a good push and forced him off the Relic some smart play by him kept me from claiming it for long, and an unlucky stunned result in turn 7 kept me from moving far enough to take Linebreaker with my lone surviving Guardian.

End result was a 2vp-2vp draw where I had First Blood and Slay the Warlord while my opponent got Slay the Warlord and Linebreaker.

I may have got carried away with upgrades, but after the fun I had parking my vehicles anywhere  I like I can’t imagine I’ll ever go without the Ghostwalk Matrix any time soon! Holofields are, as we all know, tremendous and Wave Serpents are almost impossible to kill.

I really like my Fire Prisms, but they weren’t a huge lot of use against Dark Eldar. They forced a lot of units to go to ground, but given the cost I’m not sure they justified it. Still, always worth taking to deal with Spehss Mehreens.

Wednesday was another Eldar day, where I took 1750pts against a great-looking Iron Hands army. 

After getting jumped by two Dreadnoughts each with a pair of heavy flamers in Drop Pods in turn one I was on the back foot the rest of the game. My Wave Serpents and Jetbikes did a good job of dancing around the board using their jink saves to avoid the worst of the damage but there was little else I could do to kill enough Marines and tanks. 

The game may have gone a bit one-sided but I had a good time getting my Eldar back on the table.
