Played my first 6th edition game yesterday, here are my thoughts on an updated 1750 Eldar list. C&C Please!
Here are my thougths on an Eldar list, after learning some lessons in yesterday's first 6th match.
Random lessons learned and thoughts:
- Shooting has improved a lot for fast skimmers, moving 12" and shooting two weapons at BS and snap shot for the rest is really good.
- Jink is awesome, jetbikes and skimmers always get saves
- Overwatch is evil, you want lots of guns in your infantry squads.
- Banshees are quite useless now (can't assault from vehicle, Power swords are only AP3, Overwatch will kill them before they reach their target)
So the aim is to create a list that is highly mobile and quite offensive, and should be able to take on any foe.
- The jet council should be quite durable with Fortune re-rolls on saves (both jink, armor and inv saves, depending on what's best).
- 5 Firedragons in a Wave Serpent, you've seen it before, it still works. Pre-measuring help to get in good range.
- Avengers should be able to reduce infantry quite well with Bladestorm the same turn they disembark.
- The small jetbike unit is really for hiding and scouring, but could be used to heroically take out some vehicle with the Farseer's spear.
- Vypers -I usually field 2 or 3 war walkers, but they feel too slow and don't get Jink. Vypers are much more mobile, get Jink, can fire both guns up to 12" movement, and Open-topped doesn't feel so scary with the new vehicle damage table.
- Fire Prism, can move 12" (gains Jink), shoot 60" with lovely BS4 Templates, now with full damage over the whole blast template against vehicles. Keep them out of harm's way and they should be really annoying.
So, do you think it could work?
