So I got slaughtered, primarily because he kept hoppng bakc and forth round the planet, and partly I lost my swords and Endeavor early one to block their flanking. which then gutted my fleet, it finished with the Exorcist down to 6 hull points fending off 2 crusiers (one crippled) and 3 torp escorts and 3 pulse lance ones, was a fun game though, even if the captains of the Tyrant and cobra proved to be incompetent. Also I hate hit and run teleport attacks.
His was a torpedo heavy list, which which was mostly countered by my fighter waves, which makes me a bit uneasy about dropping the dictator, but the list I'm planning on bringing next term is this:
Fleet Admiral (need a name)
Exorcist - Ark Imperial (with the fire power ten swap)
Dictator-Lord Balindil
Dictator- Legacy of Walsingham
5 strong Sword squadron "Imperial hounds"
5 strong Sword Squadron "Blades of Ryza"
1000pts
My plan is to in future just stay together to make sure the eldar can't pick me off like they did, and to keep the escorts behind the main ships so the eldar cannot get behind me. Not sure I have enough ordnance to counter his torpedo waves though.
