Battle Fleet Gothic! - Second Game with Dark Eldar - 40k Fleet Tactics and Hobby

The Dark Eldar are a piratical race in the warhammer 40k universe. And I have been learning how to use them in the depths of space combat within the game of Battle Fleet gothic! I have been gearing up a small but hard hitting fleet and I thought it would be a good idea to show it off.

This is my 750 pt fleet. It comprises a Torture class Carrier ,  3 Impailer Escorts, 3 Lance escorts and a "Succubus" class light cruiser.
I have also been working on some conversions for the fleet. There are some really cool tutorials online if you look for them.

So these are the basis for a couple more cruisers to play larger games. So! What do you Think?
We have also played a few games with the new fleet as well. I have filmed them and will be posting some battle reports on the youtube channnel HERE. My Goal is to reach 8000 subscribers on the youtube channel by the end of the Year and im currently at 4700, head over there for more cool 40k tactics and other hobby videos as well.

I played a small 400 pt game last time, this time Evan and I played a 750pt Game.

He ran a space marine army:

4!!!!! strike cruisers... nasty. They are slow, but they hit HARD and have amazing armour, and are all round fantastic ships. With good leadership.

The game was a blast. We had to call it early, the Dark Eldar were only slightly ahead in victory points, and thus, a draw was called. The Dark Eldar performed well, a good use of some initial mimic engine use put some great pressure on the marines. In future games I have to make sure I use more of the escort size ships as they are quite handy to have and move fast, and can use asteroid fields to their advantage.

Well. Thanks for reading!

Dark Eldar in BattleFleet Gothic - First Game of 2015!

I had a game of BFG (Battle Fleet Gothic) and I liked it!

BFG is an un-supported by GW, specialist game that allows players to enact the space ship battles of the year 40,000. Deep and dark space. Its a lot of FUN!

Jason and I played a pair of cruisers (mid sized ships) against each other. I was playing my Dark Eldar fleet, a pair of "torturer" class cruisers against a grand cruiser and a regular cruiser (the names escape me).

It was a basic mission- a cruiser clash. The Dark Eldar won the roll to deploy, one cruiser on each flank, the chaos follow suit, the Nurgle marked admiral in his Plague grand cruiser surveying the Dark Kin's ships. It was their move, they were far away and the cumbersome chaos ships waited for them to move into the guns optimum ranges.

The dark eldar moved full speed ahead and the pirate flagship targeted the smaller chaos cruiser while the secondary cruiser moved into a supporting role. The firing was not impressive, with the lances simply blasting a shield with energy blasts.

In retaliation, the Dark Eldar flagship received the full brunt of both chaos capital ships, the ensuing broadsides left the ship crippled and limping with a damaged engine room!

In spectacular fashion, the remaining Dark Eldar cruiser 'Torture' targetted the Smaller Chaos cruiser with locked down weapons.

The gun batteries blasting the shields down and ripping into the ships hull, the phantom lances causing so much damage that the ship burst into flames and became a flaming hulk. Useless, and floating in the void. The ship drifted away from the main fighting, until the plasma drives overheated and the ship exploded. None of the other ships were affected.

The Nurgle Warmaster, raged at the loss of his cohort, focused his hatred against this new foe. With another well aimed barrage, the chaos grand cruiser blasted the Smaller Dark Eldar ship, and crippled it as well!

Meanwhile, on the edge of space. The dark eldar flagship repaired its engines, just in time to get back into the action. Powering as much as it could to its main armament both Dark Eldar ships turned to face the Bloated floating puss filled ship. Sporradic fire pierced the forcefields and left scorch marks upon the hull.

Relenting from the barrage, the Chaos Admiral moved in for the kill. Targeting the Dark Eldar command ship, blasting it, critically damaging it by hitting the bridge and killing all inside. The Dark Eldar vessel was now useless, drifting helplessly in space.

The remaining Dark Eldar vessel gave swift pursuit, unable to stay out of the arc of the chaos guns, stripping rotten bits from the corrupt vessel. The Chaos cruiser eventually silencing the dark eldar guns.

The, wounded, but victorious Chaos fleet offering up their spoils to their Rot - God.

Hope you enjoyed the report!
Thanks for reading - the next one will have pictures!

1500pts Pic Batrep Dark Eldar vs Battle Report

Introduction:

I strolled into the Gaming store this past saturday, once again. This time I had a scheduled game all lined up. If you know my story I have just recently moved into the area so I am fairly new to the community. This means that I have been trying to find my niche spot within the gaming tiers of the area. Last time I was at the store one of the -twins- called me out for a game, he said he had heard I was a -decent- player and therefore wanted to have a game. I was flattered (of course) that my reputation had preceeded me :D. I had heard of the -twins- over the last month or so from various members of the gaming community and they are held in high regard when it comes to list buinding (using powerfull lists) and their generalship skills. And so, with this I set out my army and we rolled for the mission straight out of the book.

Mission? 4 Objectives

Deployment? Pitched

Location? Sir Games Alot in Barrie Ontario

The Table:

We made sure that there was enough terrain on the table this time, 25% and good LOS blockers. Then tried to mirror it as much as possible in an adepticon format.

The green markers are the primary objectives.



The armies:

I was using the same tournament list that I have been using since I got here and had to drop to 1500pts. It is a strong DE list that has a lot of synergy and can catch people off guard if they are not careful. At a glance the list only has 2 venoms... but at close range (12inches) the army shells out almost 80 AI shots. Hence not needing to rely on the venoms, and boosting 15 AT weapons for decent tank busting capabilities. (with 18 grenades if the wyches get stuck in).

His list was a variation of Blood Angel razorback spam. Cheap squads, cheap HQ and then as many pts in firepower as possible. Of course this variation has adapted to the local meta and he has been using vindies rather than predators because of the prevailence of FNP and other foot troop armies in the area. The use of HK missiles was clearly because of certain DE players that love their night shields. At a distance he could target 6 different things a turn and then even more as soon as the fast vindicators got within range. So I was in for a fight!

Dark Eldar Kabal 1500pts



HQ-

Archon, Agonizer, Phantasm Grenade Launcher, Shadow Field, Combat Drugs

Elites-

4 Incubi

Venom, Dual Cannons, Grisly Trophies

Tau vs Dark Eldar 1500pt Rematch! May11th

Here is the latest video batrep.

Enjoy!

Battle Report: Dark Eldar vs Space Marines 1500pts

Introduction:

Welcome to a Skaredcast Battle report! I had the pleasure of going down to Sir Games A Lot in Barrie this saturday for a game of 40K. The mission? Annihilation. The deployment? Pitched. This is usually called the good ol 4th edition mission! The table was already layed out when we arrived and we decided that it would do. There is one major houserule in effect, forests block LOS.

The Armies:

On to the armies, my opponent was Daniel. I Just met him that day and he had just finished a game with his all bike marine list, he was staying for a while and challenged me to another game, as he pulled out another list he had prepared for the day:

Space Marines:



HQ/

Librarian- Epistolary Avenger Nullzone, Terminator Armour and Storm Shield

Elite/

5 Thunder Hammer Storm Shield Terminators

Land Raider Redeemer with a MMelta.

Troops/

10 Man tac squad. Power Fist, MMElta, meltagun Rhino

10 Man tac squad. Power Fist, ML, meltagun Rhino

Fast/

Typhoon Speeder

Typhoon Speeder

Heavy/

Vindicator with Siege Shield

Vindicator with Siege Shield

1500pts

Dark Eldar Kabal:



HQ/

Archon, Agonizer, Shadow Field, Combat Drugs, Phantasm Grenade Launcher

Elites/

4 Incubi in a Venom with Dual Cannons and Grisly Trophies

Troops/

9 Wyches, Hekatrix with agonizer, haywire grenades Raider with Flicker field and grisly trophies

9 Wyches, Hekatrix with agonizer, haywire grenades Raider with Flicker field and grisly trophies

5 Warriors Blaster in venom with dual cannon

5 Warriors Blaster in Raider with FF

Fast/

3 Reaver Jetbikes with a Heatlance

3 Reaver Jetbikes with a Heatlance

5 Scourge with 2 haywire blasters

Heavy/

Ravager with Flicker Field

Ravager with Flicker Field

1500pts

Deployment:

The spacemarines won the roll to go first. And decided to take the first turn, he deployed in a very balanced fashion with a heavier force towards his fight flank.

Because of the sparcity of terrain on the table, and because this was a tournament practice game the Dark Eldar reserved everything. Hoping that they could do as much damage as possible as they arrived.
