Playing Eldar in the current league, I know I need more Troops... But giving myself a REALLY solid "Rock" unit to stand there and just take whatever punishment is being dished out and just survive and be Scoring and Alive at the end of the game...
Eldrad
Karandras
Wraithguard, full squad with a Spiritseer w/ conceal and Singing Spear
Yes, insanely expensive, but we play with a LOT of area terrain. Stealth from Karandras for the unit gives me a 3+ re-rolable cover or armor save against almost anything (Fortune from Eldrad) on a unit of T6 Fearless Troops assuming I am 50% in area terrain... But even just walking out in the open, you'll have a 4+ cover save. Yes, not the hyper competitive list, but good luck killing them in the few turns you'll have... And 2 decent or better HtH IC's waiting in the squad should you get them in HtH... The wizard is just OK, but the Scorpion is just brutal... Does mean the rest of the army at 1850 is a bit sparse, but I think they'll win me some games just by not losing... :-) Be funny in any case...
How did you do against the Wolves Monday night?
ReplyDeletePretty well… The Wolves were hurt badly by this being a kill points and Dave fielding his MSU (“multiple small units”) build and just having so many easy kill points out on the table… And with my Eldar being based around the one expensive but extraordinarily difficult to kill squad made it very hard for him to keep up with me on kill points… Ra in the squad probably didn’t directly kill his points, but having him there virtually guaranteed that they wouldn’t be tied up in HtH for long… And small squads of Wolves would just die before they even hit in HtH against him with Eldrad backing him up…
