A battle report for my eldar titans vs Tiny-tim's epicuk vanaheim list, an intersting game I was out activated by 2 too 1 and flelt it.

Set up, I didn't garrison anything T-T put one formation of vultures popped up on overwatch by his blitz and one set of tbolts on CAP (vanaheim special rule).



Turn 1, eldar win I started of with planes on CAP and tim put other vultures on overwatch popped up, then my warwalkers and wraithlords on overwatch. Tim's sentinels move up into cover, my titan move up using cover from vultures and break a sentinel formation, my revenant moves up on flank. After I'm done Tim moves the rest air cavalry into crossfire positions and other set of vultures double up and splat single revenant.
All my stuff rally and Tim's sentinels fail moving away. End turn pic,

Turn 2, eldar win initiative planes ground attack air cavalry behind woods 1 BM then retain and warlock engages breaking air cavalry for 1 DC then move behind hill. Sentinels advance 1 BM on warlock using reroll, Phantom doulbes and is overwatched by vultures for 1 DC kill some valkiries from air cavalry then air cavalry fail and regroup. Both Tbolts intercept but have to jink losing 1 each, my warwalkers kill a vultures and wraithlords march to blitz and lightnings have a pop at them for a BM. Air cavalry advance killing the warwalkers, the other vultures break themselves and air cavalry HQ go on overwatch. To finish sentinels do some marching.
All mine rally and T-T's sentinels/vultures fail but all else rally.
End of turn pic,



Turn 3, I summon avatar but vanaheim win initiative T-T's air cavalry advance with crossfire doing 2 DC on warlock criting it stripping its holo fields then fails with something (can't remember). I engage with avatar killing some sentinels breaking them but loses he moves blocking objective then retain with warlock and marshal removing BMs moving back to objective. T-T's vultures double doing some damage on warlock, I ground attack with planes killing air cavalry on right flank. Two sets of air cavalry fail and the other puts a BM on warlock and double with wraithlords contesting blitz and objective. To finish lightnings kill warlock and the tbolts both fail.
All mine rally T-T's sentinels fail again but all else rallies.
End of turn pic,


Turn 4, forgot to take pictures their was some movement to grab objective the wraithlords get broken moving to block blitz, the phantom kills vultures and move on other objective. The air cavalry fail but captures objective on the right flank. Vanaheim Win.

Not against change, so long as it done fairly and no one is left behind....

I'm human and not a !@#$%^# Robot..

I'll pull out my camera next time.

I was a bit too aggressive on the first turn with looking to get the cross fire set up and afterwards thought that I should have kept my main formations back on over watch whilst at the end of the turn moving/marching the sentinels up to create a wall of scouts to slow the titans down.

CAA was also probably a bit too aggressive with the Revenant, although against Vultures, there was not much he could do to come forward and still hide.

With the massive difference in activations I would also have tried to protect the Eldar activations more, keeping the War Walkers, Wraithlords and Revenant back in reserve and out of sight certainly for the first if not the second turn as well.

However, not an easy match up for the Eldar and CAA played well to force a 4th turn.
