Hey everyone,

I have been playing a lot of games recently against one specific person who fields chaos daemons. He usually kits his list to have between 2 and 3 Daemon Princes and 2 Bloodthirsters in his 1500pt list. His Daemon Princes usually have M.O.N., Noxious Touch (wound on 2+ = destroys wraithlords real well), Iron Hide, and wings. These monsters are straight up brutal. I think the lack of Invulnerable saves and strength in the eldar army make it difficult to win against this style. Any ideas on how to combat this?

Thanks!

War Walkers with scatter lasers, Guide/doom.
Daemons have huge issues with fast skimmers too. Just Star Engine away if you need to.

Start with everything in reserve + 2 autarchs helps

I second reaver83 on that. I have a friend who plays Eldar and he always starts in reserve, esp against Daemons or Drop Pod armies. They DS first turn but don't know where to because you have nothing there. It'll make them either spread too thin or in one area that you can totally avoid.
