My fleet is fully 3d printed as should be somewhat obvious given the stepping on them (which I am a fan of for Eldar because it looks like Holofield blurring). The scheme is inspired by Craftworld Mymeara's blue/green look. I have a Void Stalker Battleship, 2 Eclipse Cruisers, a Solaris Light Cruiser, 2 Hellebore and 4 Hemlock Escorts. Also not pictured is a Shadow Cruiser as an extra option, but that doesn't go into the 1500 point list with the rest.
First game I deployed behind the planet and used it to hide for a few turns moving back and forth doing hit and run attacks against the marines. One crippled strike cruiser from the first wave but after that dice got worse and I had to start running. I lost a few ships before disengaging though and ended up losing because I couldn't manage to damage enough.
The second game was 1500 points, and it went a lot more badly. I made some mistakes with my early movement (the conga line you can see above) so I got trapped by the marines and very quickly disintegrated. I went on some suicidal attack runs to take out as much as I could (turns out crippled and braced ships don't do too much, who would've thought?) and in the end only a Hellebore managed to escape unscathed.
All in all it was good to play again, it's been about a year since I last played BFG, and I'm remembering a lot of the tricks with Eldar. Also putting together a 30k Dark Angels fleet soon so I'm looking forward to that as well, should be a big difference in both aesthetic and playstyle.
