Default My first battle against the fallen eldar kin

Proved to be disastrous, but nonetheless I pulled through.

500 point battle, marines outnumbered 2:1.

Archon with all sorts of nastyness and 3 squads of warriors completely filled (4 assault weapons) with blasters and splinter cannons.

My side had 18 marines and 1 commander, in squads of 6 with a heavy bolter in two squads and a plasma cannon in the third.

We played a relatively small board due to point constraints. (5x4)

The DE fell like flies, but when two squads got within 24" those splinter cannons wreaked havoc, luckily I killed the archon with the combined fire of a squad. (He had a 2+ invul generator)

they got into CC after felling 10 of my marines through blasters and cannons and they got wiped as much as i did.

Both squads fell to the single heavy weapon choice i had gave them, after leadership they were able to take down 8 more warriors before being killed.

my lone commander won the match for me, cutting through the DE with ease, but nonetheless I learned an invaluable thing:

Don't underestimate the killing potential of Dark Eldar.
