Threw this down for a pick up today vs. Skitarii/Militarum Temestus. Guy wanted to play 2k and nothing less. Only had to Proxy 4 FOs and 4 Tomb Blades (which are currently being stripped). He was cool with it. Anyways, mainly here because I didn't want to lose it and had no place else to put it for now. Zahndrekh 20 Warriors 20 Warriors 18 Warriors 18 Warriors 9 Immortals (T) 9 Immortals (T) 5 Tomb Blades (SV,N,PB) 5 Tomb Blades (SV,N,PB) 12 Flayed Ones 12 Flayed Ones No BATREP, but we played Maelstrom 6, on HnA Deployment. Game ended 21-4 on T5 when he got tabled. |

With all your (well earned i must admit) love to warriors i would really like to see your list (around 1850) and batrep against new Eldar... Something close to this one? |

I find your tomblade layout interesting. I have heared several times that multiple particle beamers are not worth it, what do you think? worth it to have those 5 blasts??? (better than gauss in this situation?) |

@OhLongJohnson - Admittedly, the Tomb Blade layout is mostly to match the model. I have 10 of the original 'Lawn Chair' Destroyers, and they work better as bikes as opposed to the current Destroyers. I ran them for a bit on the Warddex rules, but there weren't any horde armies in my local meta. I REALLY enjoy the Templates. The difference in points is negligible so if you want to run them, they're not a bad investment. I'd honestly recommend the Gauss, and never recommend the Tesla on them. I run so many Warriors, that the templates are my way of dealing with horde, and there isn't a lack of Gauss on my lists. They're fast enough to get where I need them, and they seem to fit in a wierd priority spot where my opponent is never sure if they're a threat or not. At S6, they can still Glance most transports. The Nebuloscopes, while I've tried to run w/o them, I always seem to have enough points for them. They're great for those pesky units that depend on cover. They combo VERY nicely with Triarch Stalkers, both before (Twin-linked), and more so now with BS5. In the game above, they did their job by putting 14 wounds on a unit of Ruststalkers on T1. He wasn't able to benefit from cover, and with only a 4+ save. They ID'd the unit out. Even after 'jinking' I just turbo boosted away, but usually toward the enemy board edge. Just having them back there was enough to throw off my opponent. I'll get to this eventually. I've not had too much trouble with Eldar over the various Editions. I had a very close friend who played Iyanden back in 3rd/4th. Wraithknights pissed me off a bit, but they also pissed off pretty much every other army, so it's not like it was personal against me. Now that Gauss is back to the way it was, I'm not terribly afraid of them. Not saying their easy to deal with, but that I just don't freak out or think I've lost because I see 1-2 on a board. The problem I've had most, and this is a problem with the psychic phase in general, is Invisiblity. Again, this is not a Necron problem, as any army fighting against it has the same issue. It's the only game-breaking psychic power in the BRB, and the lengths some people go to get it is just insane. I've had 1 game against the new Eldar. It was a non-Decurion game @ 1k, and I still ran Warrior heavy. (I might still have the list lying around if you're interested.) The Tomb Blades took out the Guardians easily enough. The rest of the army was able to deal with the 1 unit of Wraithguard once their transport went down. I think I killed maybe 2 of the 2nd unit of Wraithguard because of Invis. It was easy to just stay out of range with running, and claim objectives till it was over. No, I don't have any experience against the new Wraithknights, or D Weapons on their troops, which is what I think you were asking about. I don't see it being any different than playing the other armies, since we all just die. They're still hindered by short range. And they're still fairly weak in CC, but not sure now that they can Stomp. Before I would just charge them with Warriors, and sit in combat for the rest of the game. ----- I have an 1850 list ready to go. I wasn't expecting to get a game in this weekend, so I didn't have my Dex, or any of my vehicles. The guy didn't mind, he just wanted to play so I came up with this list by memory. I might have to make some adjustments to my lower point lists, but didn't want to forget this. Edited by Akar, May 4 2015, 12:08 AM.

Well i'm yet to see new Eldar Codex, to make an opinion. Right now i'm scared about D weapons - no RP, and Vehicles and Fortifications is a joke against D at the moment...
