No big story for this. Just a quick summary and some pics. WOTW Eldar vs Laney Green Devil Orks. We had a very uneventful first game (in which we ran out of time to properly finish), so this was the first proper game.
As usual WOTW outmanoeuvred and outshot (unsurprising) my Green Devil Orks and as usual I had a great post game, whereas WOTW was less fortunate. I think it should go down as an Eldar victory (as I would have tactically retreated the next turn anyway).
WOTW forgot his models - so used my IG models to represent the Eldar Squad.
Simple Skirmish
The deployment was as follows with the majority of the Eldar in the bottom left hand corner and some foolish Pathfinders hidden at the top!
Turn 1: The Eldar advanced into firings positions and the Pathfinder alerted the orks to their presence with some ill advised potshots (no blood yet)
The Orks in return split their forces to advance on the main Eldar force and the Pathfinder contingent The Ork ard boy got first blood with a critical hit from his blasta, rolling a 6 knocking the Pathfinder off his feet and out of action (Now Dats shootin'!)
Turn 2: The Eldar forces directed towards my Sneaky Boss and Kommandos succeeded in drawing this threat out of reach of the exarch and his aspirant warriors. The attacking orks aren't brave enough to attack over the open ground and are left floundering as easy targets (more on that next turn!) The other Pathfinder (typical of the Eldar) - runs away! tracked by an 'ard boy with a small group of recruits. Then it all went wrong - the Weirdboy attempts to frazzle the second Pathfinder only to consumed by a warp entity and forced out of action! (the entity was eventually forced out through the Weirdboys hand - causing a serious injury WS-1). A top shot (critical!) from one of the Eldar takes out a barely visible Ork Kommando
Turn 3: Let the bloodbath begin. Having drawn the ork forces out of hiding, the Eldar retreated to create a highly mobile shooting platform. AS boy is shot down (OOA), despite some heavy cover and a second Kommando joins him in a hail of fire! The Orks begin chasing down the Sneaky Eldar, but take no more scalps - still worried about crossing the no orks land in front of the Eldar.
Turn 4: The pathfinder finally turns to face his attackers (above picture) - taking out an Ork boy, before falling to the vicious charge of the Ork 'Ard Boy cutting him down in the first round of combat with his choppa. More shredding fire fromt eh mass of Eldar results in an Ard boy and another kommanod going out of action (time for a tactical retreat I think!).
What I learnt - when in doubt -WAAAGH!
Post game - lots of advancements and very lucky rolls saved all of my OOA fighters. WOTW as usual started rolling unlucky in the post game and lost a Pathfinder - but recovered some of his equipment. Different scenario next week!

Arachas: Yes we do - but I haven't got round to building any yet - I might bring my spaceship in for next time - lots of cover then! (I might build a few temporary structures out of card - for next time).
