Battle Report:

Priority Assets vs Take and Hold on Layout 2

Opponent playing Saga of the Great Wolf + legends of saga and song uppy downy termie spam with headtakers and bjorn

Harlequin brick goes center, incubi brick to the right. Essentially they were placed for harlequin brick flexible attacking from behind center with incubi brick ready for body blocking or counter punch.

One ranger stayed on center behind footprint with one guy touching behind the wall for my primary. The other stayed on home objective huddling in the corner for screening.

Set up war walker and shroud runners within range to hide behind walls if I went second (I did), war walker roughly center and shroud runners to the left.

One warlock conclave was on each side, the one with the farseer towards the left on the line behind footprint.

One vyper went on each side. Death jester within M range of center or expansion. One fire dragon was stretched to screen my back deployment (one of my worst units in this matchup LOL) and one in reserves for mind games rapid ingressing to keep Bjorn pressured.

Gameplan was to pick apart the termies slowly with relatively consistent damage by using war walker, vyper, conclave, farseer guide, death jester, and using Soulsight on Shroud Runners for sussy lethals to lower the value of the terminator bricks as much as possibke. Shroud runners with +2 AP is great, Conclave with +1 AP is great, using both on the same termie brick lowers the value of [wolf branded] armor of contempt. Death jester ended up shocking a termie brick (as usual) which is crippling to Legends uppy downy strategem and free ingress combo so it forced a reroll.

The other vyper also got to basically freely sit at 14.99" away to make sure whatever second termie unit visible also had -1 to hit. With -1 to wound on farseer conclave, Macabre Resilience Ynnari Strategem, and cover when it mattered, made my units durable enough to keep plugging away and actually utilize ynnari rules at better times.

The harlequins crashed mid, using Epic Challenge on the Autarch to kill Arjac before he gave the rest of his terminators fight on death, also freeing up the yncarne with only the headtakers as a threat now, who was being kept away from their quarry (the shroud runners) so there was a better chance to handle them befoere they were a problem.

Because of my unit count I was able to keep very good screens and at one point threatened to take home, but even after the counteeounch their deployment was open for my rapid ingress dragons.

As my banshees eventually fell after taking 8 terminators with them from two different squads, i let the yncarne teleport in to start controlling the board more.

We're still learning 11e and were loose with time so store was closing by mid round 3, but my next turn was going to be pretty juicy. I was scoring max primary except for killing units (lol, lmao, as if) every round so far and on track to continue, so I was on track for max primary. The secondaries hand was looking great too, so I felt like I was reasonably threatening max secondaries too.

Mid game, we ended in a position witb the yncarne engaged with both termie squads that had taken the banshees ready to torrent his big guns that never tire and start cleaving assault terminators. Yvraine visarch incubi brick was in position to tie up the nearby headtakera (headtakers have a threat range that rival banshees, so lol) I had lost the shroud runmers to melee with ap2 which insta kills them, but my warlocks and vyper were doin ok just engaged with bjorn. It was going to be a good turn to reinforce or rapid ingress on the following turn with the fire dragons based on position, near enough to big guns never tire back at bjorn. Death jester, war walker, and my other vyper wee still doing great, and my other conclave, home rangers, and fire dragons were still screening most of the field (though id need to movw the vyper back to plug up where the yncarne was screening (fair trade imo, since the other vyoer can still shoot and the farseer can negate the -1 to hit!

Id never been in a relatively commanding position in aeldari especially in this matchup (its like my only matchup LOL). I know i played differently, and actually trying the vypers, war walkers, faraeer combo felt strong! I even missed a few buffs and we messes somwthinf uo that wouldve let me have more banshees potentially.

Maybe 11e isnt so bad!!

Planned changes:

I loved the shroud runners and the flexibility of the battlwshock strategem or sussy lethals gives great tools and autonomy to a scout 9" 14" move unit, so pretty good.

I will however, be tryinf out armored warhost next time, and dropping shroud runners and war wakkers for kabbalites and venoms. Firing deck means kaballite shooters have assault, have you fired an assault dark lance from a venom lately after stickying the terrain you just toed to shoot over after advancing? I alao want to try a third brick with the storm guardians and goinf down to oke conclave that will be their body guards yvraine meeds to revive some warlocks after using the 4++s to filter your low rolls on defense saves.

Anyway fun game! I
