Vypers den: Vyper tactics!

Vypers are often overlooked and even maligned by many Eldar players. Heck, I used to dismiss them myself-mainly because they didn't quite fit the playstyle of my army. Having started a Jetbike focused Eldar army, however, has brought Vypers to the top of the list of things I include in my army list these days. 

Another tournament, another day:

So I recently played in a tournament at a local Games Workshop store (the LA Battle Bunker) and got some good practice in with my Jetbike Eldar. This was a 1500 point tournament with an added twist of having a 500 point side board you could swap into your army (you had to decide before seeing your opponent's army list but after you knew what your opponent's army would be). Another twist was that every game had spearhead deployment and a random mission objective. You had to set up objectives as per the 2 objective missions in the rulebook and then on turn 3, you would roll to see what mission you were playing for so it added a crazy tactical edge to the tournament and games that I enjoyed. Further adding to the craziness was the bonus points.

Since the Eldar HQs are designed to support aspects of your forces, when you include an Autarch in your army it is for 2 specific reasons:

Battle Report : A little (not so) friendly competition...

So I played a few games against my good friend Nick from http://thediceabide.blogspot.com/ the other day and decided to post a Battle Report from one of our games that I think went well and really showcased some strengths and weaknesses of both our armies (Jetbike Eldar vs Dark Eldar).
