First time my wolves faced an Eldar force. 1500 points. Dawn of War. Purge the Alien. It was challenging as I did not know most of the units I'd be facing.
Thoughts on the game:
- Harlequins are tough when in cover. Need a flamer to kill them. Never go into close combat.
- Wolfguard in Terminator Armour can really tank for a Grey Hunter Squad. Needs Storm Shield though. Expensive
- Avatars are not so scary. Can be taken down easily with high powered weapons that are not meltas.
- Eldrad is annoying. Shuts down your psykers and almost never fails psychic tests.
- Dark Reapers are the scary ones. Must watch out for them.
- location location location. My rhino blew up sealing the exit point for the predator. Predator sat useless most of the time. :/
- Vindicator survived a melta shot and close combat assault from an Avatar before it was taken down by Longfangs :))

| The battlefield. Dawn of War. Purge the Alien. Fortifications imply where I set up. First turn goes to Eldar. |
 |
| Eldar Deployment. |
 |
| Space Wolves Deployment. Never put a Rhino into that kind of space ever again! |
 |
| First blood by Eldar. |
 |
| Cavalry Arrives! Wipes out a good amount of Eldar units. |
 |
| Cat (Harlequins) is out of the bag (Wave Serpent) |
 |
| Harlequins are way better at close combat than Space Wolves. Was affected by Doom at the same time. |
 |
| Vindicator survives a melta shot and close combat assault. |
