Space Marines VS Eldar - 2000 Points - (January 19, 2012)
I have been playing some games for the last few weeks with my Eldar but wanted to get some more painted (painted 7 vehicles in two weeks) before I took any pictures. I am far from done for painting but at least the vehicles look decent.

So look out for some Dark angel batreps coming in the near future as well.Here are the lists:
