Battle Report- MBG Vs. Darkwynn’s Eldar

By Rob Baer | November 14th, 2013 | Categories: Battle Reports, Eldar, Videos, Warhammer 40k

 Before he won Feast of Blades 2013, 40k gunslinger Nick Rose rolled into town from Texas looking for a scrapping.


The battle(s) that followed were pretty epic and teetered back and forth based on the whims of the dice gods.
It was of course a good playtest for Nick (below) who went on to win Feast of Blades 2013 shortly after that.
For me, it was a painful refresher lesson on how deadly just a few critical rolls of six can either be your salvation or demise.

Once again I did introduce our lists on video, but I’ve also tried to collect them below for you as well.

These are pretty much proxy armies (or proxies R us as Nick pointed out) so it’s not a whole lot to look at yet, but I assure you Nick’s Asian Cherry Blossom Eldar are a thing of beauty on the tabletop.
