I've been busy working 10 hour days and as such have not had much time for hobby stuff. I have however got in one game of sixth edition, which I will briefly relay here. I used a slightly tweaked version of my dark eldar list against my brother's jumping Blood Angels.
My list:
HQ
Archon with djin blades,
clonefield, phantasm grenade launcher, soul trap, haywire grenades, combat
drugs 145
Haemonculus with
liquefier gun 60
205
Elites
Incubi: 4 incubi 88
Venom with 2 Splinter
Cannons 65
153
Troops
Wytches: 9 wytches with 1 hydra
gauntlets and hekatrix with agoniser, haywire 148
Raider with dark
lance, nightshield 70
Warriors: 10 warriors with shredder and splintercannon 105
Raider with dark
lance, nightshield 70
Warriors: 10 warriors with
shredder and splintercannon 105
Raider with dark
lance, nightshield 70
Wracks: 4 wracks 40
608
Fast Attack
6 Reaver Jetbikes with two
heat lances 156
Heavy Support
Razorwing Fighter with
monoscythe, Dlances 145
Ravager with dark lances
and night shield 115
Ravager with dark lances and night shield 115 As you can see, it is a fairly standard setup. The wracks gave a pain token to the Archon who then joined the incubi, and the Haemonculus gave the witches a token. The Blood Angel army had two large melta assault squads, some Sanguinary guard, a rifle dread, a librarian dread, a vindicator, a priest or two, and Dante.
Lessons:
Haywire grenades are awesome now. My witches took out both dreadnoughts easily. Don't forget to throw a grenade before you charge.
Dark lances kill marines quite nicely when there are no tanks to shoot at. I melted the Sanguinary guard from a safe distance with them.
Watch the charge ranges! I don't think there was a charge less than nine inches in this game, so I quickly lost my bikers to that.
Look out sir is annoying. Dante deepstriked with some assault marines and absorbed a tonne of shooting. Positioning is very important in dodging this.
In the end I managed to table him, as he just couldn't get to grips with my army. It was a good game, if a little one sided.
This weekend I should be having my second game of sixth edition 40k. This time we are exploring allies. I've got a stationary Imperial Guard force with some deepstriking Space Marines, and my opponent using an all infantry mix of Tau and Space Marines. Hopefully I'll get an update of that in a timely fashion.
