I began more testing for my Eldar and found that having no psyker defense is just asking for it. While I don't actually need the added firepower or goodies the Psykers bring, I do need defense. It interupts my list to add a Farseer because I lose the almost ironclad assurance of a turn 2 massive strike. However, in so many ways, the overpowered Mephiston and power excalating Njal have made it clear they are true game changers and must be anticipated even at the expense of surety on reserves.
Nonetheless, the list has done very well to this point so its my hope that the changes will make it stronger.
The key to the list is the Autarchs ability to boost your reserves nad bringing on devastating waves of firepower to bear all at once then skating away from danger.
Its ability to do that will be somewhat hampered adding the Farseer, but its ability to stop Psykers will have to suffice. The Psykers seem to really be the ones causing problems.

Thoughts? Questions?
Is there supposed to be four units of bikes?
ReplyDeleteYes. They are troops choices.
ReplyDeleteGooid catch. I left the fourth unit off the list. Fixed!
ReplyDeleteI noticed your post elsewhere on Adepticon. A foot eldar player made it to the end of the tourney basically. Maybe not so unorthodox?
