The greatest battle in warhammer history...
 

Maybe Im exagerating, but gather round and let me tell you how an out numbered eldar force (Me) beat the hordes of man(Natedawg)! I recently got my friend playing warhammer and he loves it as much as me. Well hes been playing for about a month now and we decided to have a lan match. Since Ive got a few months on him I thought it would be fair if I gave him to allys on easy. He was the Space marines (Bah!) and his allys the emperials. Well, I started by defeating his groonies, and then building web gates around the map. I figured Id give him a few minutes before I slaughtered him. Boy was that a mistake! He launched a full out assault on me with nothing but dreadnauts and terminators as far as the eye could see! He almost wiped me out in the first wave, but I quickly warped my buildings away. I then set out to build up my forces using only ones that could teleport, warp spiders Fire prisms, that sort. But it wasnt enough to defeat him! After an hour of running it loooked like I would have to just give in... Then... I started thinking like an eldar. I revealed a few buildings in an area where he had a control nod, he saw them and thought that was my base. Ha! The fool. He sent all his forces into that far corner of the map... only to witness an army of wraithlords march into his base and smash his HQ,barracks,machine pitt and every valuable production building he had before he could make it back andhush the insurection! But it was to late! By that time I had done begun building up my forces and was marching in one his last HQ with only a hand full of space marines and terminators to defend it, the battle was mine! I beat him when another commander would have surendered with dignity. And so, As I sat there listening to his yells of anger, I thought to myself,' I wonder if anyone else teleported around a map for an hour and a half, defeating ther oponent with nothing more than a clever ruse...

Anyone?

Well i have a similar story, more of a guerrilla warfare story than anything else, and the ending was less than ideal, but i feel like mentioning it anyway.

It was a 6 man free for all in the streets of vogen i believe, i was the imperial guard, there was 1 SM player, 2 eldar 1 nec and a chaos player. The battle started off all fine and dandy, the eldar player made a play for the relic near my base in full force, but i had fortified basilisks in position and quickly transformed his forces into piles of dust and then proceeded to crush his base and set up camp. The SM player, was having a war of attrition against the necron guy, but soon the necrons gave way to the marines, which was an ill sign as i was positioned just to the east of the necrons. The second eldar disconnected due to lag issues, and the chaos player just turtled forever (which is odd). My main base soon came under fire form a full fledge sm attack, it smashed through my rudimentary defenses after a short time. The SM player then knowing that he had crushed me, set his sights on the chaos player. However during this time i had set up around 10 different miniature bases and 1 major base elsewhere on the map.(miniature bases comprised of listening posts and 2 infantry commands with around 2-4 turrets at each along with mine fields), so as soon as the sm player started to launch an attack against chaos, i would just ferry my troops from the far corners of the map into the less defended regions he had conquered, strike teams of kasyrkin and roaming leman russes ran a muck in between his bases. Crushing power plants and reclaiming listening posts all over the place. When my small forces were discovered they would retreat to a nearby mini-base i would fill all the bunkers full of troops for maximum fire power, and if the base was failing i would evac any troops to a better location. The whole ordeal lasted about an hour and a half, until he decided to focus his attention on my main base after it was discovered.My main base was destroyed and he moved onto my outposts, but while his main force was away the chaos player decided to act, and to put it simply it was the end of us both.

Moral of the story:
don't play with your food.

finally i can get back on the forums on filefront. for some reason it was down.

as for me. the greatest battle i have ever fought was probably. none i guess i mostly play the campaign. wait... i rember does anyone rember the one level in winter assault where you had to protect the landraider. that was a tuff battle. my men were horribly outnumbered with a techpriest reparing the landraider. luckily i had some russes on high grounded bombing the crap out of the orks and csm.

Re: The greatest battle in warhammer history...
 

I have done something pretty similar but in an 8 player free for all:

I had nothing but a pure infantry force, my base had been destroyed many times, my avatar was down, however everything else was hiding in the numerous webway portals I'd set up around the map...needless to say I was being a pain in the arse, I had a seer council with farseer attached, 3 warp spider squads, and the rest of the cap filled with fully upgraded banshees.

I would litterally bully things that would walk past, say the odd squad your oponant probably wouldn't notice going missing, like a normal sm squad, i'd jump all the warp spiders out, mow them down and jump back in, I felt really sneaky and eldar like.

Anywho, when I got the chance i'd unload my entire force upon someones base, they didn't stand a chance, normally by this time they were across the other side of the map and were too slow to react, by the time they'd got to me I was long gone, back into the webway and onto the next base.

After doing this for at least 2 and a half hours I was finally able to re-establish a huge base, this is where i started to claw it back, now having my avatar back and vehicles I actually went onto win the game! I always save my free for all wins but it appears to have gone missing =(

Re: The greatest battle in warhammer history...
 

last night before bed i played a ffa in the panrea lowland on insane. its me sm vs eldar vs another sm vs another guy i forget they got killed. so i usually use brute force and just capture the things around me. but this time i captured as much as i could and moved very fast. i focused on killing the other marines so i mostly got assault marines. i got 3 of those guys while teching up. luckily the marines were focused on the other guys. so it was just hit and runs on their base while saving the eldar. once i got the bulk of the force destroyed. i deepstriked one marine squad a gk squad fc chaplain, and liberaian. once i killed the sm with my assault guys a dred and both termy squads they went to finish off the eldar. so with the help of those guys plus a land raider i pretty much won.

Re: The greatest battle in warhammer history...
 

well my most epic battle in DOW history was definitly last night when me and another guardsman (murphay) fought against 2 necrons on the FOK mod using the "hell beneath" map. it was intense and the battle raged literally all night long, i was using the armoured company doctrine with murph on the infantry. we never actually finished the battle cuz we both passed out and i had classes this mornin but my lord it was a slaughterfest. we had to recycle the persistant body count atleast 20 times every 5 minutes. the battle started out as just our bases defenses being probed to being assaulted by monoloths endlessly and finally pushing our way to there doorsteps with my armour in the spearhead driving a wedge straight into there forces and finally capturing all the bridges. with murphays infantry coming up right behind me providing support fire. gotta say that was one hardcore and hard fought battle.

Re: The greatest battle in warhammer history...
 

best battle i had was a 3 player on rhean jungle random locals
me (eldar) a freind (sm) and nother freind (ork) i simply eldard the place and built webways everywhere,and bases.me and ork didnt tell sm that teamchange was on and we changed teams halway before i killed him,and sm,holed up in his starting point,had mined the place to oblivion.not a match for free sluggas though,and after a little while marine figured out that we were allies and charged his army at mine and ork.but my real army was surronding him,firedragins sittiing in falcons with prisms while avatar and a wraith attacked from the front
he never stood a chance agiasnt all that AND a squigoth.i usually play and pwn as marines but meh

Re: The greatest battle in warhammer history...
 

played another game last night. this was more thrilling then the last battle i did which really wasnt that great... but anywho. it was an 8 player map ffa. i forgot the map... it was that one level where everyone has a little hill into the place and player 1 is at the bottom. and 2 critical locations in the middle and there was like a mound in the center of the map. and each player gets like a slag + 3 strategic points in their base. anywho what i did was i did a frontal assault. i teched up while my small but powerful force destroyed ppl attacking me. after i got a LR, 3 dred a predator and all the infantry i went and destroyed a ork base with the help from two speeders and an assault squad. next was another chaos base destroyed that place then waited for the other 5 players to kill each other. all that was left was me, an ork, and chaos. i wanted to destroy the chaos first so i sent my termies LR and greyknight squad with the librearian to kill them. the rest defended my base. after that my chaos destroyer squad was attacked so i had to pull back. and at the same time orks destroyed everyone. luckily the chaos destroyer squad distracted them and took them away from my base. now i was mad i built up my force and set up a whole lot of mines around my critical location in front of my base with one dred. so my main force destroyed the orks and were moving to the chaos base. while i was killing the orks. some berzerkers were playing with my minefield then the entire chaos force arrived luckily my dred and mines held while the chaos retreated to defend there base i was attacking. it was slaughter. i was trapped between a whole lot of missile turrets plus defilers coming out of the machine pit. my LR and one predator took care of the turrets but my forces were crumbling to make matters worse my librarian was dead. i had to quickly act and thanks to the power of the orbital relay i was able to send reinforcents to finish off the base. after that they were still alive so i though screw it. cheated to find the last building (that were not being built since all the builders were dead) and won.
