Craftworld Megil en Mea "The Sword of Light"
The Sword of Light was one of the few Eldar vessels that escaped the fall largely untouched. The trading vessel with it's then small crew often made runs into the farthest colonies surrounding the outer rim of the Eldar empire. It was by fate that the ship was far from the epicenter of the catastrophe that claimed so many lives.
Even though far away from the anomaly that would later on be referred to as the eye of terror the crew knew instantly of the tragedy that struck their race. They had born witness to the slow descent of eldar society into depravity. With each trip home the crew of The Sword of Light saw what had become of their brethren. Though the seers aboard the ship tried to plead with the leaders of their world their's was ultimately a lost cause. No one would listen.
After the fall the vessel made one last trip home. They had sought to find survivors. What they found was death. Where the once mighty empire of a star spanning race stood... there was only a rift thru time and space. So it was that the ship headed for the rim worlds of the pioneers we have come to call exodites. On their way they found numerous survivors and each ship found either added itself to the fleet or melded the ship to The Sword of Light thru the bone singing prowess of their seers. It was thru this process that the craftworld grew to accomodate the burgeoning population of survivors. The exiles and the last of their kind...
The path of the Warrior
Fire Dragons
Warp Spiders
Shining Spears
Swooping Hawks
Dire Avengers
Escalating Conflict
While the craftworld may employ the honed warriors of the different aspects for surgical strikes a more prolonged or major conflict also sees the presence of civilian volunteers. They come to the field with different roles, from support to frontline troops. Even the youngest of the eldar are trained to fight in the defense of their home and species.

Salubri inspecting his then newly acquired cheddar, I mean Eldar army. :D
The path of the Warrior
The eldar of "The Sword of Light" strongly believe that their continued survival rely heavily on their ability to eliminate threats before they become evident. To achieve this goal the craftworld adopts a more militaristic approach similar to that of the eldar of BielTan. Their interventionist stance also explains why rumors of strikes made by the craftworld all over known space. 1
Howling Banshees
Fire Dragons
Warp Spiders
Shining Spears
Swooping Hawks

Guardian Defenders
The Living Dead
For the eldar, eternal rest is but a dream for even those that have long since passed away may yet be recalled to life in service of the craftworld. At times of dire need the Spirit Seers will rouse the souls of legendary warriors from sleep. They are then placed within an incredibly resilient wraithbone structure that can house their souls and allow them to move around in the world of the living.

HGR Journal Entry No. 054 - On 40k Gaming, Bitch Slapping Bragging Rights, Freaky Rains, and Billiards...
Date: May 10, 2008
Venue: Robinsons Galleria
Regulars Present: Ebon, Kyuzo, Salubri with Balian in the background and Meanderer was, well, meandering ;)
Other Players Present: Adrian with Jesse watching the games
Highlights:
Only a couple of games were played today, because some came in late, Balian going lone wolf in the MTG tourney scene, and later on finding out Midnight was out with family and Henri down with the flu (get well soon man).
2000pts Cleanse Alpha
Adrian Wins!
2000pts Recon Omega
Salubri Wins!
This was fun. Salubri and I have been wanting to find out for quite some time now how these two armies would fare head to head. Omega level kinda put me at a slight disadvantage when my Dark Eldar are all on transports while Salubri's Autarch helps in getting his reserves faster. But compared to his current config I had a slight edge on speed while he can hold a line better with shooting compared to delivering my close combat troops using my flimsy transports. I hesitated in zooming all my transports the full distance and tried to shoot at the harlequins moving towards the center, only forgetting they have this Confusion ability to check distance before your can shoot those gaudy garbed gits. That proved my downfall and in true Dark Eldar tradition, hard to recover from. Well, that's one up for the Eldar Craftworlds.
I tried to make a game out of it by moving my remaining Dark Eldar Wyches (the other squad died after their Raider crashed to Ranger sniper fire) and set myself for a showdown against Salubri's Harlequins. Bitch-slap Bragging rights belong to the Dark Eldar Wyches, having taken out a squad of Harlequins in one turn and a squad of Howling Banshees the next. Chalk one up for the Dark Eldar. ;)
I decided to tap out on the bottom of the sixth turn when the Dark Eldar Wyches were shot down by Waveserpent transports and when my Archon failed to consolidate into close combat with the Fire Dragons who incinerated her with fusion gun fire.
Good game.
Session ends 9:30pm.

We packed up relatively early, and was later joined by Balian after his MTG tourney. 2wins and 4losses is not a bad result. So Salubri, Balian and I went to Metrowalk for some dinner over at Duck Wok when the rains started to pour hard. Freaky weather we're all having. So, I asked them to play a couple of racks of billiards at Elbow Room while we wait for the rains to subside a bit. No sooner have we started, we've gotten a bit competitive and kept score. The games were close, with no one actually dominating. Only on the last three racks was I able to get a groove and end the night on a high note. Final Scores: Balian-4 Kyuzo-7 Salubri-4.Session ends 9:30pm.

HGR Journal Entry No. 053 - Prey On The Weak...
Date: May 3, 2008
Venue: Robinsons Galleria
Regulars Present: Ebon, Sigismund, Balian, Midnight, Kyuzo with special appearance from Salubri
Other Players Presnt: Marty, Henri, Alfred, Jesse
Highlights:
The boyz resumed gaming hostilities after a couple of weeks off from the Galleria gaming scene. Oh, and a belated Happy Birthday to Jesse(April 29) too!
2000pts Recon Gamma
Henri Wins!
Saw the closing Turns of this game, with Henri edging out on Victory Points.
1750pts Cleanse Alpha
Ebon Wins!
Sigismund turned turtle on this game, with Blood Ravens staying within their home quarter for three turns before cautiously venturing out with his Terminators and Bikers on the table edges. Ebon took his time picking off Blood Ravens through systematic shooting before committing his Assault Squads into close combat when Blood Raven Bikers and Terminators got too close.
Game ends with Ebon claiming three quarters to Sigismund's one.
2000pts Secure and Control Gamma 4 Control Points
Midnight Wins!
This was a good one. Alfred's Imperial Guard is getting better with their tank tactics, providing solid defense and scary shooting. Space Wolves were also methodic in their approach to get into close combat with meltabombs and landspeeders. Alfred taps out on the 5th Turn for Midnight to secure the win.
2000pts Recon Omega
Kyuzo Wins!
Game took 9 Turns! Luna Wolves and Dark Eldar went the distance on this one.
Dark Eldar had nothing on the table to start out the turn. Their only saving grace was when on the second, practically EVERYONE came in except for one Raider with Wyches! Dark Eldar went to concentrate on a speedy advance to one flank, preying on two Dev squads an one Dreadnought while the Luna Wolf Terminators and Land Raiders have not yet arrived. Luna Wolf Veteran Squads followed by a Librarian with Terminator retinue tried to control the center, only to be attacked by Wyches and Archon with Incubi hiding behind the hill.
Of note among the Luna Wolves is the Veteran Squad's Rhino tank shocking raiders and troops on the later turns, even chasing off a squad of Reaver Jetbikers in the process. Extended game length went the full distance of nine turns with the Luna Wolves' Assault Terminators touching down against The Kabal's Wych Squad, two Raider Squads, and a Ravager.
Good game.
Balian's Bad Mojo moment...
Mom/Ate in Pink!
And who would forget the History 7 Girl!
Salubri, Balian and Kyuzo then proceeded to have dinner at Quattro... for a change. Dinner took a little longer, capping off the night with a cocktail advertisement that we just had to ask the waiter for copy and show you how much that capped off our evening. :D
Session ends 10pm-ish.

HGR Journal Entry No. 052 - Return To Midnight's Lair...
Date: April 26, 2008
Venue: Midnight's Place
Regulars Present: Midnight, Salubri, Shink1m, Balian, Kyuzo
Other Players Present: Henri
Highlights:
Not much in terms of game highlights for me today, since I came in a little late to catch up on some gaming over at Midnight's. Here's the results of the games that day:
2000pts Secure and Control Alpha (Four Counters)
Shink1m Wins!
Got details of this from Shink1m: Eldar was able to claim one counter using his Fire Prism while Tomb Fleet Vyr claimed two counters on the other flank.
Kim has put up a new blog for his Tomb Fleet Vyr. Check it out as well as his commentary on the battle here.
2000pts Secure and Control Omega
Balian Wins via VP!
2000pts Take and Hold Omega
Midnight Wins via Massacre!
A comedy of errors for me on this one, with not much room to recover. Crucial for me here would be the my Chaos Sorcerer on bike failing his psychic test (rolled an 11) to fire Wind of Chaos on his Howling Banshees and Waveserpent. Howling Banshees got to countercharge and in the later turns cut the Sorcerer down despite rolling 6's to wound. Second would be my Chaos Lord on bike rolling a 1 on his Daemon Weapon attacks and eventually die on a sweeping advance by the Warpspiders and Autarch. Served some payback on the Autarch with a Powerfist from one of the CSM squads, only to be given the Eldar Rain of Death treatment with practically everything with fusion guns to finish. Shooting with fusion guns first would've been enough, so I guess Midnight was trying to prove a point. :P
Midnight here - this was a great army list (and my thanks to Salubri) against kyuzo's chaos. agree with kyuzo on comedy of errors and i'm sure i made more than him. i just got lucky with the rolls - them banshees really should have been dead 2nd turn pa lang. swooping parrots, warp spiders were fun (surprisingly) to use. the 2 wraithlords both passing their wraithsight checks the whole game! sorry to kyuzo, minsan lang ako maka-massacre :)

HGR Journal Entry No. 051 - Quotable Quotes Too Many To Mention...
Date: April 12, 2008
Venue: Robinsons Galleria
Regulars Present: Balian, Salubri, Sigismund, Ebon, Kyuzo, with special appearance from Meanderer (who brought along Rose) and Midnight (who brought along Ana Marie)
Other Players Present: Marty, Henri, Adrian (who brought along Christian), Jesse, Alfred, with special appearance from Owen and JP
Highlights:
2000pts Secure and Control Omega (4 counters)
Marty Taps out on 6th Turn. Balian Wins!
2000pts Recon Alpha
Salubri Wins!
I arrived to see this game in its middle turns. Salubri's Aspect Warriors are proving to be a real handful for the Space Wolves, and ominously for a lot of players in future games. But the Space Wolves were able to hold their own against the Eldar, especially when things got into close combat. In the end, it was a scoring unit of Firedragons, Swooping Hawks and Fire Prism touching down on the Space Wolf deployment zone to secure the win.
2000pts Secure and Control Omega (5 counters)
Draw!
Sigis fails his Leadership test and didn't go up against the Baneblade and settles for IG with Grey Knights. Alfred showed some marked improvement in his tank tactics and shooting, which proved a problem for Sigis's Berserkers who, alongside his Daemon Prince (with chicken wings) stayed behind cover for a couple of turns before deciding to move, and in the roundabout route at that. The game resulted in a draw despite Sigis being able to control 2 counters to Alfred's 1.
1500pts Take and Hold Gamma
Adrian Wins!
This looked like a test of patience from both players as Adrian's (9)Landspeeders hid behind two hills for half the game and was content to have his two Librarians use Fury Of The Ancients from behind that same hill formation while Ebon's forces tried to weather the shooting from the far corner.
2000pts Seek and Destroy Gamma
Draw!
It's been observed that Marty's shooting tactics are starting look scary and living up to the Tau's billing as advertised and had a distinct advantage over the Luna Wolves in the early turns. It only took two Luna Wolves Terminators to reach and wreak havoc on the Tau battle line to even out the game and pull out a hard fought draw. Good game.
A lot of Quotable Quotes were heard that day. Mental note to self to be more active in writing things down. Balian and I were pretty much content in watching and heckling at Sigis when we finish our games or when we wait out our turn to play.
Gaming ends 9:00-ish.

A Game6 would've been counted between Salubri's Eldar and Kyuzo's Chaos Space Marines but closing time beckons and only two turns were played with no clear advantage held by either side. Well, there's always next week.A lot of Quotable Quotes were heard that day. Mental note to self to be more active in writing things down.

Regulars Present: Balian, Ebon, Kyuzo, Salubri, with special appearance from Midnight da Heckler and Sigis da Rouge Trader.
Other Players Present: John, Henri, Jesse, Mike, with special appearance from Alfred, Adrian, and Ike.
Highlights:
The Regulars are back to our playing ways after two weekends of no games at Galleria. That's close to three weeks of pent up gaming energy just waiting to... self-destruct. Lolz.
1500pts Secure and Control Alpha
John taps out on Turn 3. Ebon Wins!
The brothers Mike and John changing armies today, this time John playing his brother's Ultramarines. Guess the tide turned when John's Assault Squad decided to assault two of Ebon's squads with powerfists. ;)
2000pts Cleanse Alpha
Balian Wins! 1 Quarter against 2 Contested
Balian almost regretted giving up first turn after a dismal round of shooting. But using Ravenwing's speed, Balian was able to secure one quarter and contest the others, including the Space Wolf home quarter.
1500pts Seek and Destroy Alpha
Jesse Wins! 1 Scoring Unit remaining vs. None
1500pts Cleanse Gamma
Kyuzo Wins! Massacre to the last man on Turn4.
Mike takes out the Commander from John's earlier list for a better tooled up Librarian. Dark Eldar shooting focused more on the Devastator Squad and Assault Squad forcing both units to fail morale and leave the table. Landraider shooting almost singlehandedly took out two raider transports and a ravager before blowing up to dark lance fire.
1500pts Seek and Destroy Gamma
Draw!
Critical last turn heroics by the meltagun carrying veteran blowing up the remaining Luna Wolves Landraider more than 6 inches away to tie things up.
Quotable Quotes:
Salubri: "Balian, have a cheese-filled pandesal."
Balian: "Thanks, I'm good."
Kyuzo: "Apparently, Balian's got enough cheese laid out on the table."
Salubri: "Sampung Terminators! Anong nagawa sa isang Landraider? WALAAA!!!"
John: "Kaya nga nandyan yung Commander in the first place." - Right after Mike's Assault squad left the table after failing morale to Dark Eldar shooting.
