I bought a few ebay lots some months ago and decided to give it a whirl last weekend. It was a 4k per side team game with 2k to each player. We both brought AM against DE/Eldar. We started super confident so we didn't play to our strengths the way we should have. So basically I'm just wondering if our list were as optimal as we thought and our lackadaisical playstyle was what caused the loss.
I brought:
Pask (Punisher, HB, HB Sponsons, Fire Barrels, Camo Netting, Extra Armor)
Demolisher (HF, Fire Barrels)
Demolisher (HF, Fire Barrels)
Executioner (HF, Plasma Sponsons, Fire Barrels)
2x Eradicator (HB, Fire Barrels)
2x Wyvern (HB, Fire Barrels)
3x Vet Squads (Autocannon, GL, 2x Flamer, Chimera w/ Fire Barrels)
Devil Dog (MM, Fire Barrels)
Hell Hound (HF, Fire Barrels)
My Teammate brought:
Tank Commander (Battle Tank, HB, HB Sponsons)
Battle Tank (HB, HB Sponsons)
3x Battle Tank (HB, HB Sponsons)
Manticore
Manticore
Vendetta

Vendetta
2x Vet Squads (Autocannon, Chimera)
Our enemies were a Dark Eldar list with like 6 squads Haywire Wyches in Venoms, Grotesques with a Farseer in a Raider, and a few Incubi in Raiders. The Eldar had those Melta guys in Wave Serpents, a monsterous creature of some kind, 3 really good flyers, and some kind of T6 squad in Wave Serpents. I have a hard time remembering what all they brought because more than half of it was destroyed turn 1. They survived turn 2, and then turn 3 is when it all went to hell. My partner got annihilated and I just couldn't hold off what little they had left alone.
Is this a normal type of Mechanized list? What do most people bring? I know I went crazy on some of the upgrades, I just needed to add points and the fire barrels saved my bacon against those wyches.
