Deployment

My opponent generated from path of Cosmology 2+4 (Mind Games and Ice and Fire)

I started deploying

- All the elves

- Furies

SHOOTING:

- Dread Reaper shot couple wounds on sirens

Turn 1 - Daemon Legion

MOVEMENT:

- I packed up with Mounted Sirens 2 just enough to be out of blades of naab theoretical charge. I placed Sirens so he would needed 9 to roll with the naabs.

MAGIC: 5 + 5

- Evocation of Sous to Mounted Sirens 3 PD -> OF 5 wounds to sirens, survived amnesia

- Ancestral aid to Sirens 3 PD natural failure

Turn 2 - Dread Elves

MOVEMENT:

- I am not absolutely sure did the spear charge, as I don't have notes on the occasion and we played middle of the night)

MOVEMENT:

- Blades of Naab charged mounted sirens

MAGIC: 6+6

- Grave Call to Sirens 4 PD, dispelled with 6 PD

- Mind Games 4 to Sirens 4 PD

Turn 3 - Daemon Legion

MOVEMENT:

- Sirens charged to the rear of the blades

- Furies Charged dread reaper

MAGIC: 4+3

- Evocation of Souls to Sirens 3 PD, passed

- Ancestral Aid to Sirens 4 PD, failed to dispel

CLOSE COMBAT

- Those bloody blades packed a whole lot of damage to sirens even on rear :D But with better combat resolution broke them but failed to caught them.

- Furies suffered two wounds on the charge and failed to do none, thus losing and with ld 2 broke.

TURN ANALYZE:

- I said to my opponent that those furies have a hard spot to choose from either redirect dark acolytes or try to get the dread reaper. I also didn't really realize that nowadays war machines are t4 w4 models rather than the old elven bolt thrower with t3 and 2 wounds.

- On retrospective I should have used mounted siren or furies as redirectors for the acolytes.

Turn 4 - Dread Elves

MOVEMENT:

- Dark Acolytes charged the rear of Sirens

- Blades of Naab was exactly 25% of starting size so halved ld and failed to rally.

MAGIC: 3+2

- Breath of Corruption 3 PD dispelled

SHOOTING:

- Dread Reaper killed mounted siren

CLOSE COMBAT:

- Dark Acolytes didn't cause as many wounds as they probably should have, but still won the combat by alot, but luckily i was steadfast and didn't crumble. I failed to reform.

Turn 4 - Daemon Legion

MAGIC: 4+4 + PD

- Ancestral Aid 4 PD to sirens failed to dispel

- Evocation of Souls 3 PD pass

CLOSE COMBAT:

- Harbringer couldn't come to base contact, acolytes caused some damage I killed 2 acolytes and managed to reform.

Turn 5 - Dread Elves

MAGIC: 4 + 3 + DD

- Breat of Corruption 5 PD, dispelled with 5 DD

CLOSE COMBAT:

- Harbringer killed the remaining two dark acolytes and I reformed to conga line since it allowed me to just barely be in the range of fleeing blades and sorceror

Turn 5 - Daemon Legion

MOVEMENT:

- I bounced the blades of naab and sorceror of the board

Turn 6 - Dread Elves

SHOOTING:

- I had 3 sirens left in the unit and he killed 2 of them. Luckily I was able to allocate some hits to my harbringer (that was unharmed) and even when the harbringer was wounded by the shots i was left with 1 siren and harbringer on the board

I also gained secondary objective from the game

GAME ANALYZE:

- Oh boy those elves are some nasty creatures in close combat. They need to be tenderized with shooting / magic before engaging!

- I really liked the "clever use of game mechanic" congaline to secure victory points from my enemy
