It may have helped to ignore the wraiths earlier and target bikes with battle cannons etc with the plan of dropping the lynx in combat.

If you take the...The Eldar was definitely unbound.<br /><br />If you take the Warhost formation, one of the optional extra picks is a single Wraithknight or single Avatar or single Pheonix Lord, so in a Warhost formation you could potentially take one of the Core formations and then 12 Wraithknights.<br /><br />However the only formation with Wraithknights in costs about 1500 base (once you include transports), because it includes a Spirit Seer, 3 units of Wraithguard, Wraithlord & a single Wraithknight.Rathstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799690336241322474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278252476801553420.post-58750800214057017302015-09-04T15:33:26.348+01:002015-09-04T15:33:26.348+01:00I think it was an ok way of doing it, but i can...I think it was an ok way of doing it, but i can't help but feel that people only gave you their vote if they beat you or drew. I tried to make all of my games as fun as possible for my opponents, but only the people who beat me voted. Granted the two i won were odd match ups so i can see why they didn't enjoy it (to be honest i didn't enjoy them all that much either). <br /><br />Its not bad, just promotes a different way of playing, which is fine by me.

Plus, I'm pretty sure he isn't unbound. The Lynx would be his CAD's LoW slot and I'm pretty sure, correct me if I'm wrong, that the Eldar codex has a formation that is just one Wraithknight. One CAD plus two formations. I don't know if I've ever fielded a list that would have good odds going straight up against that.<br /><br />Given that situation, you did a wonderful job playing him and came close to winning it, probably closer than your opponent was comfortable with.This Is A Helmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332470309760438304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278252476801553420.post-61799320904684780672015-09-04T15:13:25.300+01:002015-09-04T15:13:25.300+01:00I'm enjoying reading Renegade battle reports, ...I'm enjoying reading Renegade battle reports, so I'll be checking these out at least.

Indeed if it had have ended turn 5 you would have won and you were unlucky with that second Soul Grinder having no impact on the game, due to reserves, mishaps and just plain shooty blindness. I don't think there's any shame in this result, your opponent would have plenty of egg on their face if it had only been 5 turns considereing what they did in the subsequent 2.<br /><br />Given your placing though it sounds like you did alright anyway, just surprised there were only 40+ people, did the event look undersubscribed or is that now the size of these things now. The first Thrones I went to had over 120 people I think, it'd be good to know if these are on the wane, downscaled because they've focused on more shops and galleries or still well subscribed, despite fewer places.40kaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12763647828123242837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1278252476801553420.post-71828855467780880392015-09-04T08:53:00.840+01:002015-09-04T08:53:00.840+01:00Hey Malduran, once again thanks for the entertaini...Hey Malduran, once again thanks for the entertaining batrep! To be honest when I saw the Eldar list I thought it would be a massacre, but you managed to hang in there really well! I'm not sure why they even allowed unbound lists, at leasty they should match up unbound with unbound. <br /><br />Your average win/loss ratio is a tstament to your skill as in my opinion, your list isn't exceptionally strong (not to be taken as a sligh, I know you have limited models and such). <br /><br />Again, good job and grats on best Chaos and 2nd overall!<br /><br />PS: Not sure if you saw them but I posted 2 batreps (my first 2 games) recently over at Dakka (nickname blackcadian) with my Renegades. Maybe you wanna check them out.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199583732490727488noreply@blogger.com
