Come here to discuss The Eldar as a race, and as an Army.

I don't know what they have done to us under the new rules. But I loved some of the old tricks you could pull under the old rules.
Ah we usually play 2000 point games. And there was this day where two consecutive battles first I cleaned up 2K of space puppies in H2H with the loss of 4 of my 20 guardians (2x 8 + weapon man units) to a total annihilation on turn 4.
Then the second game was against blood angels 3 consecutive brightlance shots took out the fellows Vindicator his rhino and his land raider... All gone t1. I then proceded to annihilate him t3 to a man for no loss.
Damn my lucky dice

The eldar may not appear that powerful, but a farseer, 6 guardians, and a Falcon can kill 750 points worth of space marines before being destroyed. 3nodding

My guardians kick butt, 40 shots at close range, followed by 40 close combat attacks. No infantry squad in the game can stand that! whee

why bother? a squad of 20 can kill anything, except tanks, and you can use storm squads for that!

ahh. i like taking a few units and defeating massive odds with them. like taking 20 odd scouts and defeating 3000 points of space marines, (with tanks, dreadnopughts, landspeeders, bikers etc) but if were gonna talk about that, do it in the Space marine forum.

I'm one of the few people I know who actually uses full squads of warp spiders and shining spears. What's your opinion on them?
