Fire Prism

I just finished my first (and only, for the forseeble future) Fire Prism.

Thing is, Prisms work well only if you have three of them. I might of course buy two more, but I prefer Reapers and Falcons in current meta. That may change of course :). Actually I regret building the tank as Prism, Night Spinner would be much more usefull right now. Well, my bad.

Good thing is, the model looks AWESOME. Eldar tanks look cool, and this one is the best looking of them all. Even if I don't use it, I'm glad to have it.

Next in line is my big unit of reapers. Eight plus Exarch, that's some serious firepower.

Of course, I also need to finish my Asurmen, but that's quite a lot of work to be done.

After the Pandemia gets under control we'll have a small league in our local store. 500pts, so I'll use single detachment. I though about Drukhari, but then my idea of Asurmen came to my mint.

I'll use Patrol Detachment, with 9 Reapers, Asurmen and 6 Dire Avengers. Probably not the best list I could come up with, but I really like it. Besides, most of players will be newbies, so I don't want to pound them with Falcons, Farseers and Shinigh Spears. I prefer to give them some fun out of the game :).

Warlock Skyrunner and preparations for huge tournament

Preperations for Polish Team Championship are ongoing. Today I'd finished the second psyker for my army - Warlock Skyrunner.

My idea for the army is a bit unusuall, as I won't field any Battalions. I will have less CP, but I gain much more - my army is built only of usefull units (infantry ain't usefull to me - prove me wrong if you'd like :) ).

The list is built on two outrider detachments (Harlequins and Craftworlds). I have Troupe Master (tax I have to pay, but I think he will be usefull in some missions), three units of two Skyweavers, Autarch Skyrunner with Saim-Hann lance, 9 Shining Spears and two units of Windriders (9 and 3) armed with Scatter Lasers. Lasers are very good in Saim-Hann detachment as they fire on 3+ no matter if they moved or not.

Third detachment is Craftworlds Spearhead, with Farseer, Warlock, Dark Reapers, Fire Prism (yes, I overcame my disgust towards mail order and got one), three Falcons and Wave Serpent.

5 Tanks, loads of bikes, what can possibly go wrong? :D

BTW, yesterday I got some second-hand Falcons for cheap:

Lots of models to build and paint, wish me luck...

Wolftime #3

First tournament after such a long break from 40k. I must admit I wasn't sure if my knowledge of Aeldari is good enough for tournament play, but decided to find out.

It was 1000pts tournament, with limit of two detachments. My army was built of Battalion and Patrol, using Drukhari and Craftworlds units:

Battalion (Kabal of the Flayed Skull):

- Archon (Agoniser, Splinter Pistol)

- Archon (Huskblade, Splinter Pistol)

- 5 Kabalites

- 5 Kabalites

- 5 Kabalites

- Ravager (3 Desintegrator Cannons)

- Venom (Splinter Cannon, Twin Splinter Rifle)

Patrol (Expert Crafters, Masterful Shots)

- Autarch Skyrunner (Lance, Warlord: Fate's Messanger, Shimmerplume of Achillral)

- 8 Storm Guardians

- 3 Dark Reapers (Tempest Launcher, Rain of Death)

- Crimson Hunter Exarch (Two Starcannons, Hawkeye)

- Wave Serpent (Twin Aeldari Missile Launcher, Twin Shuriken Catapult)

First battle was against Mechanicum with tank, two onagers, several units of skitarii, bosses and two units of stalkers.

It wasn't an easy game, mostly due to the fact that onagers hit everything that flies on 2+, and in my army everything but infantry flies.

Despite that I managed to win 30:14. Not bad for the first game after such a long pause ;).

Second was against Space Marines, led by smashcaptain and chaplain. Big unit of grav centurions, two scout units, one primaris unit and one unit of those guys with 3 wounds, fists and loads of shots.

I mean really, those primaris units all look the same :P. After several rounds of killing I managed to kill everything but single marine in the ruins. Sadly, the game costed me a lot of my units, and despite having the same number of points I lost due to killpoints. There simply wasn't enough targets to kill! 26:29 for my opponent.

I didn't play the third game cause my I wanted to go to motorcycle event with my girlfriend. My opponent was kind enough to agree on a split, 10:10.

All in all I ended up on third place. I must say, I love this army. Fast, agile, with loads of surprises for my enemies. Now I need to paint all those gray models and get ready for another tournament.
