Game over - Final Score Daemons: Dark Eldar :
This was my first game against Dark Eldar and it was really fun, I definitively felt the power of all those poison shots, and how amazing Incubi are in close combat, they killed 20 Bloodletters without losing any. In The end my Soul Grinder really won me the game destroying 66% of his Reavers and killing a unit of Warriors. I think more shooting would have done wonders against this army, but I am still building up my shooting side my list.Daemon Three Stars:
* Soul Grinder
** Flesh Hounds
*** Pink Horrors
Dark Eldar Stars:
* Incubi/Archon
** Wracks
*** Warriors in Raider
Skulls reaped for the skull throne: 46
Skulltaker collected: 0
