A couple days ago I met up with Aven my next opponent for the league so I could crush his Dark Eldar. Our mission was Cut & Run from the battle missions book, with Aven as the attacker.
His list was:
Archon 60pts, huskblade 35pts, haywire grenades 5 pts, combat drugs 10pts, shadow field 30pts, webway portal 35pts
Incubi 22pts x5 (mounted in raider 60pts (with archon), with darklance, flickerfields 10pts, retro fire jets 5pts)
Incubi 22pts x5

Razorwing 145pts, splinter cannon 10pts, flickerfield 10pts
Razorwing 145pts, splinter cannon 10pts, flickerfield 10pts
He set up his forces first but I chose to keep everything off the table thus forcing him to remain on the table for at least at extra turn. Fortunately for me the majority of my army came on in the first reserve roll and I managed to get a couple kill points for dropping a pair of raiders. For the duration of the game the scores were pretty close with both of us securing the lead but ultimately Aven managed to claim the victory.
This was an awesome game. Very close all the way through. Aven didn't power play and took the game casual. I really wish more of my regular opponents played the same way.
Annoyingly though we played a friendly game afterwards randomly determined from the rulebook and I managed to crush Aven 9 kill points to 5. Why can't I do that in a campaign game? LOL!
