Battle Report Teaser: Eldar vs Space Wolves with Grey Knight Allies

Hey all, themightysquig here bringing you another Battle Report Teaser. This week, Son of Adam went head-to-head with Matt, owner of Stomping Grounds. Matt brought a Space Wolves drop pod army with Grey Knight allies to square up against SoA’s Eldar list.

It was a close game, as drop pods can cause a lot of trouble for SoA’s Eldar. Does SoA overcome his list disadvantage? Does Matt give SoA his first loss since the launch of this blog? I’m not going to tell you (haha, take that, internets!). Instead check out these pictures from the game and make sure you check out the Battle Report and Strategy Follow-up for this game as they get posted.

Snipers hide behind the aegis defense line

Long Fangs deploy in a ruin in order to get clear line of sight on the battlefield.

Long fangs rain down fire support all game almost untouched.

The fire dragon exarch manages to survive combat for a round.

Grey Knights lend fire support that is boosted with prescience.

One council member stands out in between the ruins.

Grey Hunters get inside the aegis and prepare to cut down the snipers in combat.

The council tries to multi-charge the drop pods for some extra kill points.

Hey all, here’s another Battle Report Teaser. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed the photos from the last batrep, and an extra thanks to all those who watched and commented on our first battle report video! We had a lot of fun putting that one together and we are really excited for the one we are working on now. We think its going to be even better than the first, so make sure you take a look!

This battle was between Paul‘s Salamanders and Blood Angel allies and Son of Adam’s Eldar. I wont spoil the ending for you- you’re just going to have to wait for the video! In the meantime, enjoy these photos! (Don’t forget to come back tomorrow and check out Paul’s Army Showcase too!)

Devistators Take position above their objective.

Scouts find cover in a forest.

Vanguard drop in on some of the infiltrating Pathfinders.

Fire dragons retaliate against the vanguard that destroyed their transport.

Paul’s camo paint scheme looked great on his scouts.

The pathfinder’s strong cover save was negated by template weapons and they were easily removed.

Fighting for position, the fire dragons and vets try to gain the advantage.

The farseer’s psycic powers help balance the scales in combat.

A small squad of snipers moves into position to claim an objective.

The Salamander commander makes a valiant stand against the seer council.

Guardian jetbikes use their speed to maneuver around terrain.

The Saim Hann charge forward.

A sole guardian jetbike risks the dangerous terrain to jump above the objective.

Another special thanks to Stomping Grounds for letting us shoot in their store.

Hey all, themightysquig here for MasterCraft Gaming, bringing you our first ever Battle Report Teaser! You’ll have to wait a few days for the official Bat Rep video for all the details you’re looking for, but until then, here’s what I can tell you. Last night Son of Adam played his buddy Steve at Stomping Grounds in Warminster, PA. He brought along his Grey Knight army to take on Steve’s Space Wolves. And I brought my camera to take all these cool pictures of the battle!
