Games!: Warhammer 40K Eldar vs. Dark Angels (new codex)

So, I played a game against my buddy John last night, and we tried out the new Eldar codex.  Verdict?  Pretty darn good.  Admittedly John's running a hampered index Space Marine force - so it was an uphill fight.  It was a great "White Dwarf Moment" though with two painted armies on a fully finished table (admittedly...my Old West terrain).

We played a made-up scenario which, admittedly, didn't work.  However we used the Open War deck to provide deployment zones and a twist - acid rain, which had a large effect on the game.

 The Yderish Warhost advances to find the data core.
 Late in the game a massive scrum breaks out amidst blown up Razorbacks.
 The short lived Ranger element which was reduced immediately..
 The Dark Angels librarian runs to the aid of their Captain.
 The staggering and wounded Eldar dreadnought clears out some marines with his flamers.
 The full devastator squad which doled out a lot of hurt on the frail Eldar.
 Late to arrive and having done little, the Swooping Hawks set up a picnic.
 The Deathwing arrive to put a stop to the marauding Wraithguard.
 The table before we got underway.
 The armed might of the Dark Angels is present.
 Dark Reapers deploy onto a hill as the Wave Serpent glides out to battle.
 The desperate late-game fight in the midst of the camp.
 The ill-fated Dark Angels flyer puts a lascannon beam into the flank of the dreadnought.
 The Yderish warhost pre-game workout.
 Dark Angels brought plasma...a lot of plasma!
Ravenwing bikers on the prowl.
