Turn 3 has the Ravagers finally escaping the Webway, but it is far too late.  The Dark Eldar player realizes that it has four formations left.  The final blow is when the bombers hit 5 times and two hits are successful.  Both are CRITICALS!  The extra DC damage kills it and gives the Elysians BTS.  The DE surrender with an estimated win of 2-0.  BTS, TnH.

The Dark Eldar suffered from the combo of heavy Elysian air units and a lack of their own flyers.  That combined with two formations very important formations trapped in the Webway made things go south.  

In all fairness however, this was Cameron's first game with the DE and there is arguably nobody who knows how to fight against them better than me.   8v)   I would have been shocked to lose.  Fun game though.  

Things were going to become much more difficult in my second game.

Thanks for showing a cool fight, and thanks for showcasing some of my terrain in the photos!   :agree:

And, yes, the "winter camo" looks great... perhaps a simple wash to bring out the details...  :laugh:

Yeah yeah yeah.  I'll get the darned things painted.  I just wanted to make sure I painted the bases first because I loathe it when I go to paint the bases prior to flocking and then end up painting their boots.  It will be easier to do it this way; I've got the bases done, then I'll do the models, then the actual flocking.
