Hi Gents

Given all the discussion on the Biel Tan list at the moment i though i take some time to collate some info about my last 3 Cancons and the Biel Tan lists i have taken.
I have tried to remember, track down and ask others for as much info about those games to give you bit of an overview and some summaries.
no full batreps but hopefully something useful will come from the below info.
I apologise to those for anything i may have gotten wrong and ask any of my opponents to jump in and correct me where necessary, (except Jim).

Phantom Titan

The idea with this army was it was solid fire power base around phantom, VS, Scorps and NS providing long range power. It had good AA and with 2 spear formations it had solid engagement value as well. If anything it needed another guardian formation to help with Avatar launching potential.
The games are from memory so are little hazy on exact details but i will do my best to keep it accurate.
I also note that this was V4.1 changed after this event and saw changes to various units through out the army.

This list came second overall behind Shadlowlords DKOK

-LICTOR SWARM [200]

Win to Eldar 3-0
Eldar called corner deployment in this game. This allowed the nid formations to singled out and weight of fire bought to bear. The phantom hunted the brute swarms. The nids struggled failing some activations which menat they came forward piece meal. Having some many skimmers real advantaged the eldar which is how the spears would deal things like the stealers.

Game 2

-Predators 325
Hunter
-Long Fangs 350
2 x Razorbacks
- Swift Claws 200
-Land Speeders 200
-Thunderbolts 175

Eldar win 4-0
The space wolves sent a large flanking force down one flank, the eldar deployed table centre and concentrated on the warlord and preds with the speeders down the centre. The eldar stalled the flank attack long enough to take two turns of strip shields and the phantom to take out the warlord. What was left of the eldar centre then went on to support the flank attack off the space wolves and after some cagey assaults got the upper hand. (Dobbsy's space wolves have to be one of the most amazingly well painted epic armies out there)

11. Infantry Coy 425
Death Korps Commander, 19 Death Korps Infantry units,
Gorgon Siege Transporters (2 Gorgons)

DKOK win 2-0

This was a brutal game played through a ruined city. the DKOK steadliy moved forward taking the ground picking off eldar formations where they could with their ranged formations. several failed activation over a couple of turns notable the phantom and void spinner had a real impact on the eldar plan. The spears managed some thricky assault moves trapping troops in gorgans and destroying them but it was too little to late. The weight of all the WE and the well considered moves from the DKOK player proved to much for the eldar.

Game 4

Onyx-Iron Warriors
1. Iron Warriors Company 425

2. Defiler Assault Pack 425

5 x Dreadclaw
7. Super Heavy Company 225
Decimator
8. Devastation Class Cruiser 150
9. Ordinatus Medrengard 625

Eldar win 5-0
The eldar had a great first turn which included totally dodging the orbital bombardment and then guardians repelled an assault from the drop pod dreadies. The scorpion engaged well over the game aginst the defilers as did the phantom who also managed to kill the SC. The ordiantus did some damage and broke multiple units some of which didnt rally for the game. largely the eldar were able to fan forward supporting each other well. Aggressive shinning spear movements at the end of turn two saw them destroy the ordinatus which was camped on the blitz.

Win My eldar 2-0
I won the roll off and choose corners to try and maximise my longer range shooting over lucass. This was a hugely cagey game and the revenants were great at sniping my units before retreating once they were in position. However the Phantom, scorpion and VS proved too much and got the ascendancy over lucas.

the idea of this army that it would fan out allowing the shooting formations to run hit and run in and out of the guardian and ranger line. Good AA but only one aspect which was the BTS was my only really concern with the list. I quiet liked this build and felt spam WE would probably offer the biggest threat to this build.

Solid Win for the eldar (cant recall exact score)
Cant recall the exact way the game played out but I believe the eldar followed the game plan of picking on the smaller units first getting a strong activation advantage and continued to roll from there. Zac might be able to add some more here.

My eldar had a solid win, can't recall the exact score.
This game started well for my eldar trying to lure the phantom forward where effective crossfires could be placed on it. Due to some pretty ordinary dice rolls i lost more than I wanted to and took longer than i wanted to try and drop the phantom. Adam played well and given only just started with eldar missed a couple of opportunities to exploits some shit dice rolling on my behalf. The end result was both eldar players were pretty beaten up.

Win to the eldar 5-0
this game was all or nothing in the first turn. I had a plan of how i would deploy aginst this list by using my numbers to create areas of denial preventing effecting drop and planet fall also ensuring nothing was intermingled. I was forced in a corner but set up away from my blitz. Matts bombardment clipped a couple of formations handing out few BM but no huge damage. The first landas that planet fell was forced to land out the front of my lines and was only possibly able to engage scouts. This landa and formations on board were subsquently pretty beaten up and broke before the eldar. The second landa promised more coming in for an air assault, however a lucky crit from a firestorm saw it go down. the game was called at this point but had the second landa made it in it would have been interesting despite the eldar having the advantage. I don't doubt Matts ability to wrestle victory from the jaws of defeat.

This was a really cagey game but the 5 overlords in the end proved to much for the eldar depsite much carnage inflicted on both sides in general. The prevlance of WE RA4 and good shooting is a tough ask for this list.
Steve played well and gave me nothing. Steve might be able to remember more details of this game that he can add.

Draw (score?)

This game was played corners as it was terrain heavy with a city in the middle of the table. I tired to utillise the terrain to hid a bit from the dirrect fire and maximise on my indirect and popup attacks. In a nut shell and from memory the game was fair bloody and was essentially piece trading. The overlords spotter and the land train, colossus smashed into the eldar but i managed to do some damage back. However the game timed out at the end of turn 3 with no clear winner and it would have been hard to say who would have gotten up from there, the eldar maybe... Kenny could probably add something here.

Game 6
Cal- Codex Astartes
i dont have access to the list. it was a double termie ground force with a warhound pack. so no thawks or Spaceships.

Win to the eldar 4-0
This was a strong game for the eldar. i refused a flank setting up down one side creating large areas where the termies couldn't deep strike and ensured no intermingling.
Cal played well but his list really lacked the tools to crack into the eldar army and the shooting was just way too strong. The eldar fanned out dealing with the marine formations as they came across. The termies come down immediately in front of the eldar trying to slow the advancing the castle and grab the objectives in the middle. The eldar were easily able to pick off and clipping assault the termies to break them. really this was an example of the Biel Tan list having it totally over the Marine list. If i can get the list of Cal i will post it up.

This list was a refinement on last years list. its most notable weakness was the 4 firestorms for AA, still good but had to be watched. I guess this list has been examined by many now and there are varying thoughts on it.

4-0 Eldar Win 2175pts to 125pts
I called corners on this game and managed to use the scorpions to kill enough of the dactylis swarm swarm to break them before they could fire. The VS then finished them off later in the turn with disrupt.
The eldar were then able to single out and target formations as they came across the table. turn 2 the spears put pressure on the blitz which drew back one of the large swarms to cover the blitz. This allowed the BTS formtions to be surronded, broken and then destroyed. Clipping assaults from the spears helped break the other larger swarm on the Blitz. in conclusion I think the nids struggle against this BT build.

This game was played corners. there was a large hill (realm of battle table) in the middle. most of the objectives from both sides were placed. Also on the hill was fortificatiosn which the rangers held before the bgaurdians moved up to occupy. The eldar vehicles used the lip of the hill to single out a tank formation and kill enough to break followed by disrupt arty to kill, rinse and repeat. Turn 3 the eldar went balls out seeing alot of assaults and crossfires to finish things off. This game was pretty brutal for Chris and he was a great sport about it.

Ahhh my game against Jim. I played across the table as i wanted to target his artillery and smaller formations straight away. The table was a ruined city so we were both really happy with it. The most pivotal thing of this game was that the Minervans won the strat roll turn 1 and 2 which allowed him to close the void spinners down with his DS and Manticores. This swung the balance into the minervans favour from the start. the eldar managed to inch forward before utiliseing some good crossfires and asssults to break then destroy the BTS and hammer another of the SHC. The spears also got a solid clipping assault on a couple of the smaller minervan formations which broke several in one hit for no recourse. We agreed to call the game at turn 3 due to time constraints, but Jim and I both know had we gone to turn 4 the eldar would have won the day... (hush now Jim)

Thanks for going over your old battles for us. 17 games and only one loss that is a very good record.

One comment I would make is that in the UK we get the odd aircraft heavy list which could risk the Eldar AA, but these are not the norm. If I was your opponent, I'd ask to your dice though.

Thanks guys. Tim 2 losses and 2 draws.

Mic

I agree, Very interesting write up, many thanks indeed.

I note that each list is significantly different, using
- a Phantom single Shining Spear and single VS in 2015,
- 3x SoV, 2x VS and 3x Guardians with a single Shining Spear in 2016
- 2x SoV, 2x VS, 2x Guardian and 2x Shining Spear in 2017.
But the general strategy was the same in each case, using firepower to break or destroy enemy activations and then capture objectives. This tends to suggest that it is as much the player skill as OP formations.

The battle analyses were also instructive, with draws against stronger players using high activation armies, enjoying some luck on occasion (always handy, but sometimes a game changer), and some 'dream match ups'.

To be fair, it also seems that Mic has been refining the list to support his strategy, while also removing some weaknesses by doubling up on key formations.

Looks like you won both games you had against other Biel Tan lists, implying that at least some of that impressive record is due in part to player skill.

My game vs Mic in 2016 with the Iron Warriors came down to terrain

I was never able to get into a spot fast enough to do any damage before Mic shot and moved away

Was a close game but my list lacked the speed to catch mic

Score I believe was 3-1 or 3-0

D'oh, blinded by the brilliance.
This too, very well put Ginger.

Hey Mic,

Is Eldar the only army you generally play?

_________________
Currently doing a plastic scenery kickstarter

There one of my favourite for sure, but i play marines, orks (including gargants), titans, Nids, world eaters, Blood angels in 30K. I ran Marines at Cancon 2014 and came 5th. I have used other armies here and there too. I have a back log of other armies and projects i need to find time to assemble and throw on the table.

Thanks for taking the time. Some brutal results in there. Space wolves double landing craft one in particular! Not convinced about planetfall, but then the second getting shot down perhaps justified it! Always going to be a binary list though. Overall quite a few, err, "fluffy" lists getting punished.
