BigToof's last 5th Ed Game: Y'stral vs. Lady D'ysperax!
BigToof:
Hi All,
Just to leave a placer.
You all asked for it, and well, it's my last chance to play with fifth, so I'm going all out.
Going to hopefully have a last game with Dark Eldar of all armies.
I considered Orks or IG, but really, DE just sort of won out, as I want to try the ultimate fight:
Y'stral (me) vs. the ever-too-horrible Lady D'ysperax.
I will be writing it up as I can.
I'll fill in Lady D's list once I see what horror is coming for me.
My list:
Dark Eldar 1500pts "The Grisly Hand": 41 Infantry, 4 Vehicles, 1 MC; 14 KPs
Archon Y'stral w/Djinn Blade, Shadow Field, CD, WWP
Haemonculus Bella Le'Gosi w/Venom Blade, WWP
Grotesquesx3 w/LG, Aberration "Bobo" w/FG in Raider w/EA
Truebornx3 w/Blastersx3
Truebornx3 w/Blastersx3
Wychesx7 w/HGs, Hekatrix Allonia w/Agonizer
Wychesx7 w/HGs, Hekatrix Ray'keth w/Agonizer
Wracksx7 w/Liquifier Gun, Acothyst "Zero" in Raider w/EA
Hellionsx9 w/Helliarch StarSparkle w/PGL
Talos "Mega-Bay'tor" w/Liquifier Gun, TL Heatlance

List Comments: This is as "tuned" as I can get it. It has all my fun characters and I hope it'll be a blast.
I have no idea what I'll be up against, but this list has a bit of everything except Venoms (meh).
Lady D plays smarter than me, but I roll better (usually).
Pray to Khaine/the Emperor/the Dark Gods for me!
Best,
-BT

I'm glad we get a final battle before 6th comes in, we've been too long without a report to wait even longer.
Now I personally can't remember any DE vs DE reports so this may well be a new experience, therefore I can't pick a winner based on previous showing.
Given that only a few early SW reports have shown losses I'm going to assume that you'll win this (after being overwhelmed in the first half and then fighting your way back so its a draw near the end but the final turn grants you overall victory).
As you have previously mentionned a report with Dakkajets, I'll be holding you to your word, if not in a 5th ed report then your first 6th ed one because they do sound fun.
Looking forward to this, especially the fluff, which as always will be amazing.

Hi Cammerz!
Thanks for the reply.
You know, I don't TRY to make them that close, they just seem to happen that way :)
I do get some games where I wipe the opponent pretty well, but not so much lately. I'm not sure if it's my fault or my opponent's better playing.
The Dakkajet rep is being put on hold until 6th lands.
I can sum up Big Louie's Dakkajet rep as follows:
Awesome Jets WAARGH! on turn one and vaporize a purifier squad each.
Turn 1 GK sees them both blasted out of the sky, but lets the rest of the army advance totally unscathed.
I hope the jets well do better in 6th...
As for the fluff, I'm still working on it, but I'll disclose Lady D's list as I just got done writing it up.
I... I don't know how people think up these things.
Best,
