Epic 40k - Eldar and Grey Knights

Alas there's an Epic tournament in two days' time. Yup. A gathering of Epicness!
Now normally I try to get in as many games as possible, but work and life mean I've only managed two this week - both in preparation for this tournament with a new army playing a relatively new system

In the sci-fi backdrop of Warhamster 40k there's this human faction called the Inquisition who hunts unbelievers of the Imperial faith down and slays them by their legions. They also dislike aliens, ghouls, undead and basically anyone who professes a different spiritual inclination but theirs. Excellent reason - as good as any! - for the Eldar to go head to head with them! And my opponent Fattdexx (Jayden) is the official developer of their list so he needs as much practice as possible using them as well as he seeks to tweak them for international release - and stardom, and fame and fortune and nasty emails from overseas players pointing out its fallacies....which is why I'm happy to give him as many games as we can muster!

3,000pt of Eldar and Grey Knights take the field in corner deployment. We played on a "point of contact" 4x4' table as I've not yet got around to hinging my table

The Knights win the initiative and for their opening move swing about the flank and nail an ENTIRE detachment of Eldar armor. No, really....great dice in the attack and shoddy, shameful armor save failures on my behalf. Great opening move, anyway...this bodes well!

 The Reavers move in to support the flank

The Knights spread out, take the center, reinforce their advancing flank

 By the next turn the Knights move in to contest the Eldar's far western objective but are encircled and decimated. Here we note Fattdexx's second-most expensive and dangerous detachment, an air assault troupe tasked with managing just this kind of situation - ie press attacks or fill gaps in the line - never made it onto the table this game. I do feel this must be recognized in reading what follows!

 The Eldar here had moved their fast-attack forth to finish off the severely mauled Land Raiders (see opening move.,...oh how sweet revenge is!) but were bounced back, shattered and broken to flee and cower for a turn

 The Knights here tried to break the Reavers in a hefty firefight and assault but bore the brunt of Eldar technological might, valiant superiority and...well, generally just really lucky dice rolling!

 This overview of the field shows the Eldar hold their western objective, in the center the Knights' gunships (sneakily disguised as Chaos vehicles, mind you!) harass the broken Eldar fast attack, while in the right the two formations prepare to engage one another. Who'll grow balls first and take the plunge?!?

 The Eldar here are finishing off the Knight's center with a rather - if I say so myself! - brave or foolish assault in force.

The table at the end of the game (Turn 3) means there are no unbroken Knight units, the Eldar hold all the objectives - no, really! - and thus there'll be no more of that "Emperor protects, guide, obey your...." shenannigans on this here world, thank you very much. You humans are welcome to pack your interstellar travel kit and go back to wherever dark hole you crept out of!
Oh wait...I think Fattdexx heard that.....now he's offended and wants A REMATCH?!?

Of course he does, so stay tuned for the follow up soon!
