This was my 3rd match of our local league. At the beginning of each month, each player hands in a list, and must use that list for all 3 matches they have during the current month. Each month the lists increase by 500 points starting at 500.

My First Match I played last night vs Chaos Space Marines found Here.

2nd Match was VS Black Templar. I tabled him, I may or may not write the battle report for it.

This was my third match Vs Necrons.

He brought

Necron Lord riding Command Barge (for doing fly by attacks)

6x normal Necrons

6x normal Necrons

1x Anniliation Barge

1x Anniliation Barge

Mission: Kill Points, Pitched Battle


Set up:

He had first turn, he put both troop units in reserve. Everything else on board.

I reserved everything, hoping to get off some pot shots before he could shoot me.

Necron Turn 1, Dark Eldar Turn 1, Necron Turn 2, Dark Eldar Turn 3, Necron Turn 3

Because I went 2nd and reserved everything, he had free reign to move about the board. His turn 2, he walked a unit of Warriors onto the board. I made no reserves turn 2.

Warriors in Venom fire one blaster shot at Annihilation barge, hits, glaces, 6 to explode. (feels wierd shooting at open topped, instead of always being the open topped).

Game ends turn 5, with a 2 rolled.

Dark Eldar have 3 kill points (Necron Squad, Command Barge, and Annihilation Barge)
Necrons have 2 kill points (Haemi's Venom and 1 warrior's Venom)

I got lucky, really lucky. My reserve rolls were near perfect. He never rolled a single 6 to hit with Tesla guns. I one shotted a Annilation Barge, with only one blaster before it could fire once. I made about half my flicker field saves. And getting a Necron Warrior unit to run is just poor luck on his side. (think he rolled an 11)

I don't think he should have gotten so close into my field. (atleast staid over 24" from my board edge, so then my blasters couldn't be fired the turn they arrived). The first unit he put in cover, but was easily visable. 2nd unit he didn't make that mistake, had to manuever more to fire at them.
