RE: New Eldar? - Embolden - 27-04-2015 D-Cannons are great! Avatar - STR9 7 attacks AP1 at Initiative 10!!.. LOL Crimson Hunters - haha, 140pts each, exarch for BS5.. Crimson Formation is mint, 4+ cover saves as standard.. 440pts.. tho. Expensive Hemlock - 2 D-Scythes, Lvl2 Psyker (telepathy) - for Shriek -2 leadership and they can also Gate.. haha, Cleansing Flame.. lol. Say bye to Flyrants. Warp Spiders are just crazy.. jumping all over the shop then shredding most units on 2's BS5 in the formation. Banshees - can easily run across the table now thanks to the formation, add in Jain-Zar and you're running 9" + moving 6".. Jetbikes - I think we all know Wraithknights.. Farseers.. Reapers - Skyfire missiles, no jinks etc.. Missile Launchers get Skyfire as standard... War Walkers become 90pt Anti-flyer monsters.. 6 STR 7 Skyfire shots.. (But why would you take these over Crimson Hunters) Wraithguard - all kinds.. even Blades.. add in Eldrad and Jain-Zar for scout and running 9".. for a turn2 assault. I even like Prisms, Nightspinners and Falcons.. Fire Dragons with auto 6" run.. BS5 and +1 (+3 as AP1) on pen table. The only inherently poor units.. Ilic nightspear and Shining Spears.. but they have a use if you really want to... Overall, most units got a small to big boost and no points increase.. or points reduction. Lynx and Hornets from FW are still available haha. Lots and lots and lots and lots of options, but points and formation/slot limitations may cause issues with TAC lists. I don't think Jetbikes with Scatters, Wraithknights and Farseers will win a tournament.. but will be solid. As they are vulnerable to alpha strikes. RE: New Eldar? - manrogue - 30-04-2015 Well just read this on BoLS and thought i'd share (normally wouldn't as 90% of the articles are clickbait to start flame wars lol) as off Reecius who runs a few of the big USA tournaments, so his thoughts may be in line with UK tourny scene.

D-Scythes WWP is going to be powerful, but its damn expensive and easily countered... and fairly easy to kill away from combat (don't charge a full squad due to overwatch, unless you have 2 units). Eldar to me, start the death of the death star in 7th ed, like every edition of 40k, Deathstars dominate the early part and they slowly get whittled down by MSU. Eldar are the start just a Grey Knights did in 5th and Chaos/Tau in 6th ed. D being the main cause. Going to be interesting at Cally with the new codex, I'm expecting a lot of abuse haha.

You know i'm pretty sure that's how the conversation went at GW HQ (except in English, with more laughing, and surrounded by cash) RE: New Eldar? - Dedwoods42 - 01-05-2015 Ha! More or less. It could well kill off the Deathstar, or at least bring out some different lists from other armies - then adjust they way they interact with each other too, which would be a good thing I think. |
