They are back and deadlier than ever!

[dethklok]

thats rihgt the eldar have got a brand new book and a whole new selectoins of things to put the hurt on the mongeih (humans).


Hehe my eldar army is going to rock now but as my freinds i give you these warnings and suggestions

take heavy bolters they would all eldar on a +2 as a matter of fact all strength 5 weapons do.

watch out for the dire avengers they can dish out 32 shots and make you pay dearly for each one. dont attack them in close combat because you will only get 1 attack at any time thanks to their new defend rule. adn with the shimmer sheild they have a +5 invul.

dark reapers will own keep away from them unless you have some sort of death wish (Cough* cough* turtle Cough* Cough).

doom is the new farseer rule and it means exaclty what its name is for any unit that does not please the farseer. Doom does this Ex. oh look at that unit of terminators with the high powered weapons moving towards my wraith guard hmm well guess what you are actully going this way right into my howling banshees. HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! DIE FOOLISH HUMANS!!!!!." it is bad news i can move any enemy unit where ever i feel like it.

now you may be saying "oh they are so cheap now" well gues what everything has upped in point cost by like 30 so dont be complaining just yet and all these high point cost guys are T3.

well if you want more info on the eldar read the new codex.

cool man, so they finally released the models and dex eh?

The new codex hits the shelves on 4th of November i think. Managed to have a look through my local shops codex. Eldar don't have crystal targetting matrix anymore so no annoying jump out shoot grav tank and then fly behind cover. Harlequins look awesome but won't be out until April next year apparently. Looks like i'll be fielding my hellhound, for the no save, insta-kill goodness. Starcannon is down from 3 shots to 2 i think. Also no 22 guardians in a squad with brightlance. New rules mean it's an upgrade not an add on so max you can field are 20. You can still have craftworlds as jet bikes and other craftworld themed units are now troop choices. Seer council now counts as 2 HQ choices. That's all i can remember.

EDIT: Just remembered, dark reaper exarchs can upgrade to get a tempest launcher. This is a guess range blast weapon that cuts up marines pretty badly. Had a game about 2 weeks ago where i was allied with an eldar player. He used the stores new codex to field an army and as dethklok so rightly mentioned, Dark reapers will own.

The puny Eldar cannot stand to the might of the Imperial Guard armour! Rolling thunder!

that's sad that guardsmen with lasguns didn't even fit into his saying at any point *sniffle* *looks at serial number on lasgun which runs the entire length of the gun (yes that many have been made)*

lol

I hate swooping hawk exarchs.

I just had to say that and this seemed like a reasonable place to do it.

damn exarch killed my command conscript platoon, command hq, AT squad, fire support squad and half a line squad before there were no guardsmen left for him to murder and I didnt even get to roll 1 die vs. him because of his insane initiative. just the danged exarch dishing out a dozen or so attacks on the charge and wiping anything he touched before I could even blink.

Eldar have got a pretty massive update but lots of there units are fragile now, like the farseer who now only has T3 which before he had T4 which makes him very supseptible to instant death.

LOL

[Turtleboy(AWOL)]

by the way my last rant in this thread was about the old swooping hawk exarch - now the harlequins and howling banshees with yes, you guessed it, doom; are taking the place on my 'most frustrating to deal with' list of eldar nastiness. high initiative is rough to combat!

Looks like I'm gonna start an eldar army, so I'll be posting in this forum more I think Goddess AND me are eldar converts at present

[dethklok]

Yes Brother join us and we will give you eternal life in the everlasting light of the Eldar. You wish for destruction, we can give you that. You wish for speed, we can give you that to. You wish for victory, we expect nothing less. Now turn away from the groveling filth that is the humans and join us in our everlasting dominance.



Cheers Dethklok [ps play Eldar]

[majorjav]

Yes my brother! We will restore the mighty Eldar Empire and crush the great Ennemy!
(Thinking of replaying Eldars....They are my first army....)

[dethklok]

yes another ;D
Cheers Dethklok

Gaint space marine crusade called agianst the elder gets repulsed, imperial guard move in "hey where's that craft world admiril"
Admiril "well you see all the space junk out there..."

[dethklok]

lolz You could never get close to a craftworld without eating loads of lance fire.

Cheers DEthklok

Death to the warp worshiping witches! The eldar should only be secure in the knowledge that we cant find the craft worlds. If we could there fleets would be overwhelmed and the planet exterminatius.

[dethklok]

again craftworlds fly and have lots of lance turrets

[Deleted]

Craft worlds are slow, very slow and if you think about the priority the Imperium would put on destroying a craftworld there are going to be less turrets than ships coming to destroy them. Also the eldar would have to deal all ordos of the inquisition so expect Grey knights, death watch, and bolter bitches, lots of them.
