Arcanacon, Game 3: vs Necrons

So, a mere seven months after I played the game, here's a battle report featuring my Dark Eldar's first outing against the new Necrons :)

First, a caveat; my memory is slipping a little, so a few details are probably off, despite my notes. But  the ebb and flow of the game I think is still accurate, and moreover I think I ultimately learned a lot from it. without further ado, the game!

Arcanacon, Game Two

Yup, I haven't forgotten :)

In fact, I've recently upgraded my computer, and even installed Battle Chronicler. Which, by the way, is fantastic!

So a quick recap; I went to Arcanacon in January, a 1200 point 40k tournament. The first game is here, in which I narrowly escaped with a win against my bete noir, the Imperial Guard. So, for the second game I was quite pleased to see an army that I felt would be a better match up for me, Blood Angels.

And not just any Blood Angels, but gorgeous Spartan themed Blood Angels, complete with King Leonidas (acting as Mephiston)!

Here are Dion's Spartan's in all their glory. I actually took this shot while I was walking around in the prelude to round 1, so I was quite chuffed to actually play against them!

Arcanacon, Game 1

Arcanacon hosted a 1200pt 40K tourney on the Australia Day weekend, and I was fortunate enough to be taking part! Although the tournament scores included comp, it didn't have a large bearing on my army selection, as I basically brought along all of the 5th ed Dark Eldar that I have painted (yes, I have been going since the 5th ed codex came out; yes, I am a very slow painter!)

Battle vs Space Marines

For a nice change, I managed to play a pair of actual, real-life games! Although I didn't take any pictures or otherwise intend to report, nonetheless I'll put up an overview of each.

Both were 2000pts, and I used the same army list for them:
