Just something I noticed, since fearless units can not go to ground, the termagaunts would not have been able to do that in turn 2 (even though it didn't matter). Also, you don't have any list specifics, but that hive tyrant looks to have 2 sets of scything talons, which give it re rolls on all failed to hits, not just 1s. The trygon auto correcting has already been mentioned. Anyway, great models and terrain!

Great video! Few Gameplay Notes on errors to correct on the next gameplay Gaunts cannot go to ground if they are within synapse range. They are considered fearless. OUt of synapse they can go to ground (Trick with this rule: If you move a synapse creature into range of a unit that has gone to ground the turn before, they can get up and act as normal that turn, rather than being immobilized a full turn.) Also, don't forget to fire snap shots at targets that fail their assault charge.

Never underestimate the power of a jump unit that has the capability to deliver wounds on anything in the game. There's not too many of those. Sure he doesn't exactly go crazy with it here, but if this game had ended two turns earlier that Linebreaker might have mattered a lot. Any time there's an objective mission there's usually at least one all the way on the opponents side of the field, and a last second contention can win the game.

Fantastically crafted models there, I've never seen a board like that, or the damage effects on the Serpents. If it were me though I'd have dropped some of those useless 'gants and added a pack of poisoned genestealers instead. They'd have had plenty of cover to strike from in all those buildings, and while they might not have won the game or taken down any Wraiths, their work on the troops should bring the Eldar race one big step closer to extinction.

Seems you have found the hidden niche of the banshees. Lure the enemy close with promises of easy kills, then proceed to shoot them to death with their sweet shuriken pistols. ^^ Excited to see you try them out! Its not often you get to see banshees in a batrep, and when they show up, they are usually suicided forwards and shot to pieces on turn 2 without proper support. Hope you decide to test them more!

+1 for not adding stupid bio-weapons as a Tyranid, but -2 for not having a clear strategy against Eldar As a Tyranid, you have three different play options: a) kill your opponent with heavy bio weapons; b) deepstrike/infiltrate/outflank 'en masse' or c) rush in, adding Pinning to avoid counter-fire Against the Wraithlords/Knights, you could go the easy way and add an Exocrine (7|2 Assault 6), cheaper Hive Guards (8|4 Assault 2) or do it the hard way using deepstrike & melee attacks. Choosing melee, your ONLY option was the Hive Tyrants with wings (Swooping = only snapshots = no template, Dive = Jinx), so I would have added Bonesword + Lash Whip to the flying Tyrant. and maybe even a second model. You can then also rely on Smash Attacks (Str x2) & Instant Death... at Initiative 8. Placing the Raveners behing the Wave Serpents was a very clever move (although a bit too close to prevent the 12" retreat move). Here, adding Deathspitters would have helped greatly. The stupid rule that units can't charge when they enter from reserve makes it hard if you want to stick to melee weapons. For Games Workshop, it seems ok to use an 12" Assault 3 weapon (Deathspitter), but it would be too OP to charge 2D6", soaking Overwatch to gain 4-5 melee attacks, also being attacked in return (maybe even losing the Initiative). All in all, the Tyranids weren't really prepared for the Eldar forces. Nearly no unit could ever face the Wraithlords and Wraithknights. Since they could have moved backwards every turn as well, they could have avoided melee completely. So the Tyranids need to be FAST if they ever want to get into melee range. The Suncannon also took out the only true choice out against the Wave Serpents (Raveners). The Marloc and Trygons didn't do their job well and were a bad choice here. Usually, Marlocs are used against heavy troop choices (not embarked in a transport). A double large blast with 6|2 can kill several Dark Reapers, a Devastator Squad or Broadside team... The Trygon (or better the Trygon Prime) does something similar, using an Assault 6 or 12 attack instead of a large blast. Therefore a Deathleaper might have been better (Strength 6, only snapshots against him, always a 6+ cover save).

Gfazekas25, most eldar players I've gone against in 6th edition only put the bare minimum into transports, usually run between 5-7 wave serpents. They send half up the board while the others sit out of range of any other weapon and use that damn 60 inch shot. As for being useless, you get around 7 shots with it, it can move 36 inches and still shoot, so compare that to a rhino which can go 12 and isn't as well armoured or gunned.. Wave serpents are very op, especially when you face 7 of them
