RE: New Eldar? - Nick1988 - 18-04-2015 Looks nasty. The nerd to serpent shield makes them a but more balanced but the codex as a whole seems to have taken another boost! Be very interesting to see what the top players use! Feel like my necrons have already taken a step back!

RE: New Eldar? - Alpharius - 19-04-2015 I love all you guys and dont want to be the guy who moans and complains but ***** son.... This is some next level boosting. Have to see how it plays but damn.

They deserve it. If some one talks about their love of the army they have been playing for years, punch them, in the nose, for being lousy human beings and ask them how they can look in the mirror everyday and not commit suicide. If you know of any Eldar players, burn their homes to the ground to get rid of the models. If the local store is selling Eldar model and codexes, call the police and tell them the owner is selling drugs out of the store. That will stop them. It's the only way to be sure. hahahaha! I think this sums up the hate of Eldar at present.. I don't recall this much hate before a codex has even been released..

Ha! if all the leaked stuff is true though it does look horrendous.

The 'rumours' have come from photographs and people with reputations to up hold in the rumour community. To me, the stuff thats come out so far does seem very strong! But without the codex in hand its hard to tell how it will all fit together. Yep 30 Windriders with Scatter Lasers is very point and click.. but also very one directional.. I'm looking forward to some of the more balanced builds.. thats what I'm aiming for. RE: New Eldar? - jaqenhgar - 20-04-2015 I am trying to decide if the lists I am thinking about for Caledonian are going to be able to stand up to 120 S6 BS4 shots a turn plus a wraith knight or two.... Thinking maybe reserve shenanigans are maybe the way to go with dark Eldar and with poison the wraith knights should go down. If someone takes 30sc.laser jet bikes you need to be able to put some serious firepower back into them on the first turn or you are in trouble. RE: New Eldar? - Dedwoods42 - 20-04-2015 Just remember that the WK is a Gargantuan Creature now, so poison is only wounding on a 6+... RE: New Eldar? - manrogue - 20-04-2015 Remember that the WK is immune to poison (and sniper) now Chris, 6's to wound as a gargantuan creature. I expect a lot of Scatriders in eldar tournament lists as they all round best troop choice in the game (in my opinion obviously lol) and a steal at 27 PPM. Wraithguard with scythes with a Archon with webway for deepstrike (or in a wave serpent if going pure eldar)is another one i expect to see, they murder vehicles or troops. 5 templates for 3+ to strip D3 hull points. The new codex is scary! lol RE: New Eldar? - Embolden - 20-04-2015 (20-04-2015, 02:54 PM)jaqenhgar Wrote: I am trying to decide if the lists I am thinking about for Caledonian are going to be able to stand up to 120 S6 BS4 shots a turn plus a wraith knight or two.... yeah as others have said.. poison isn't going to work against Wraithknights.. if would advise Dark Lances, str8 ap2.. okay so you're hitting on 3's wounding on 4's.. depending on loadout you could be facing a 5++ or cover save and then FnP.. its a scary thought to face.. which is why I'm using two if I can.. but one will do enough damage... until it gets D'd by another Wraithknight LMAO!! Against jetbikes you're going to need something will hell of an Alpha strike or something that can hit them from range.. or force them to jink. I would be tempted to drop the Venoms to take out the Jetbikes.. leaving the Wraithknights to there own devices.. they won't kill a great deal if you spread out and use reserves.. maybe take out a unit or two per turn while you kill the rest of his army.. ensuring it will be a bloody and brutal game but it at least gives you a chance on the objectives. This Eldar dex does look very strong, but everyone will be gearing to beat it... or be Eldar themselves LMAO The new meta is Eldar designed to kill other Eldar.. |
