Space Marines v Eldar, 1000pts; The Rematch

[templersstorms]

Alright, so my friend and I played our rematch of our 1000pt game that I posted last week, and I finally got it put together. Like last time, I am playing the Eldar, and TheyJackedMyRhino is playing the Space Marines.

Thanks for the C&C!

Nice bat report.

God you suck at rolling dice. 1 hit, no wounds from a Spear autarch with mandiblasters? you need help.

[templersstorms]

Haha. Same thing happened against his nids. I charged a Carni with my full squad of Spears and Autarch and Farseer, and did only 1 or 2 wounds. I think it is my new dice I got, so I'm not using them anymore. lol

I enjoyed the battle report, the format is easy to read and the map really helps to keep track of the units.
I think you might´ve played the drop pod wrong, since it has to come down in the first round.

Other than that I´d like to give some comments regarding the SM players play.

Like you said, you got too agressive. The Eldar player got the assault units and you got multiple 36+ " heavy weapons. I am unsure of how much LoS the terrain blocked, but I think you could´ve stayed behind and blasted him your way then jump out with 2x rapid fire.
No use to send that speeder forward when it got 2x HB

The predator wasn´t that useful vs that particular army, but it can be a real help vs a lot of other lists.

ouch a rough ride for the emperors finest. Tactical mistakes indeed, hopefully James will get his revenge one day

(lovely format guys, looking forward to more of these)

Another great report! Looking forward to reading more

Why not charge the dreadnought with the spears? They would've munched it, surely?

[templersstorms]

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'm glad this formatting has worked out as well as it did.

Hopefully more next week.

As for charging the Dreadnought, the Spears could definitely handle it, but they weren't in range for assault, so they moved out of range of the Dread in case it went to turn 6, then they would have been ready to attack.
