How do y'all think it did? Results may surprise you, one way or another lol.

That's....a lot of serpents. Probably didn't do too bad as I bet you were able to atleast get SOMETHING into combat...though all those vehicles did add a lot of kill points...

OK I'll bite

Looks like a very annoying list to play against. Target overload. On the other hand it's heavy on KP's and CC power is absent. Mobility makes up for that flaw though...

I think the list did well since it's extreme and balanced lists will prolly not pack enough shots to dent all those Wave Serpents.

I'm betting it did good, Fire dragons are my favorite eldar unit, second only to wave serpents, and then war walkers, though I see quite a bit of wasted points, and a ton of anti-horde that I dont think will be worth it in the end.

I'm betting a guard player smoked you bad. Otherwise it would depend on match ups. With the ruling for Ard Boyz on the Deff Rolla it means they could have run over several of your vehicles per turn

My guess is that it did well.

It is nearly impossible to bring down that many wave serpents. There is just not that much ranged anti-tank anymore, and it is a very fast army that can overload one side of the table.


My guess is that very rarely anybody had to get out of the wave serpents.

Agreed with blackmoor

Assuming putting the shurikan cannons on the serpents doesn't take away your lances, i would say it is a rediculous army to look at.

If you had to take the lances off, i bet is sucked more than a vacuum.

Preliminaries you might have been okay.

But semi-finals you would have been stomped in kill-points and be unable to place in top 3.

I'm guessing you got stomped, since you said that in another thread.

I think the lists lacks anti-tank, which isn't a good think in the current Mech heavy environment.

It really depends on match-ups. The 2ndround game, 6 tunrs of nightfight, could have been your undoing. I saw a Slaanesh Daemon army walk all over a Mech Eldar army in that matchup. The Eldar player just couldn't see all the daemons before they were all over him and destroying all his skimmers.

BTW Daemonettes + Fiends + Skarbrand = dead Eldar Skimmers all over the board.

Well, the army looks good on paper.
How did you place the 9 Serpents and the Warwalkers on the board?

Not enough anti-tank. You can take down three land raiders per turn with ease, which is great. But how do you deal with light armor spam?

Your DA squads might be too small to really accomplish much.
