Iyanden Eldar - Test Game 1

Alright, so as I've recently assembled most of my Iyanden Eldar and as Tompa recently received his 35 ork lootas (he already had 10) we decided to take a test game.

This was only for fun and we decided to not care about tracking the stats. So we could try what the units actually do on the table top, and not just what we can calculate.

Iyanden Eldar:


HQ:
Farseer w/ RoWitnessing, Fortune

Elites:
6x Harlequins w/ 4x Kisses, 1x Fusion Pistol, Shadowseer Upgrade
5x Wraithguard w/ Spiritseer (Conceal)

Troops:
5x Pathfinders
5x Pathfinders

Heavy Support:
Wraithlord w/ Eldar Missile Launcher
Wraithlord w/ Eldar Missile Launcher

Orks:


HQ:
Big Mek w/ KFF
Warboss

Elites:
~15 Lootas with some Meks
~15 Lootas with some Meks
~15 Lootas with some Meks

Troops:
~10 Boyz
4 Mega Armoured Nobz w/ Combi-flamer

Thats everything he had if I remember correctly.

Game - 1000p - Pitched Battle - Seize Ground (4obj) - 4'x4' Table:


We rolled to see who goes first, and I won the roll. Looking at his amount of shootyness, no scratch that, his amount of high-strength shootyness I decided that I need to take the first turn.

One pathfinder squad deployed on one objective, whilst the other one deployed in cover, ~10" from another objective.
The rest of my army deployed near a river trying to stay out of LOS from as much as possible.

His army deployed all over his deployment zone.

On my turn I approach his lines with my army, running on the flank with my harlequins. Fortuned the wraithguard squad. Shot the mega nobz with my rangers but only wounded the warboss and a mega nob.

He laid down some serious firepower and my main advantage (high toughness) was negated by his str 7 fire
He got one of my wraithlords down to one wound.

My Harlequins ran forward, rest marched forward and shot everything that they could. Got his warboss down to 1 wound and killed 2 nobz.

The orks finished off one of the wraithlords and assaulted the wraithguard with the mega armored nobz.

The harlequins charged the boyz and whiped them out in the same assault face (which was too good :( )
The wraithlord that was still alive charged into combat to help out the wraithguard and farseer. They failed to kill everything, which was for the best.

The lootas checked their range against the harlequins and managed to just get in range, and killed all but 1 harlequin. This turn the mega nobz failed their moral check and fell back.

At this point there wasn't any wraithguard alive, so the spiritseer, farseer and wraithlord rushed towards the loota ranks.

The second wraithlord was killed in one turn of loota shooting, much due to the Ap 2 weapons of the meks.

Basically all eldar died sooner or later in the assault, but managed to kill all the opponents troop choices. The pathfinders not on an objective ran to one, and the game ended with me keeping 2 objectives.

End Game:
2 Objectives held.

Notes:
Well we killed the same amount of killpoints, but I lost more points worth than he did. Then again he didn't have a proper list to keep objectives, and that really gave me the win easily. But as this was all for fun it doesn't really matter.

I would like to say that this list has to be one of the nastiest list I could possible face. As he didn't have problem wounding my wraithlords and wraithguards with all his high strength weapons.
Hopefully I'll get to test it against a list that contains less high strength shots.
