Going to be playing my friend in a 2000 point game in a few days using Eldar against his Orks. I've never played with or against Orks before and I have only just glanced at the Ork codex, so not really sure what to expect. I'm just assuming to bring a few Fire Prisms? What would be a quality Eldar list to help bury 'em? Thanks.

Depends on what kinda orks he plays and if your looking to completely tailor your list to WAAC.

Oh, hmm... well I've never actually seen what he has and I can pretty much field anything except for a jetseer council if that's what you were getting to by WAAC.

orks vrs eldar....as an ork player i should krump myself in da head for helpin ya.... but oh well.


orks bring basiclly 1 of 3 tricks to the party. fast, kanwall, or lots of boys. the main threat is the CC. orks can dish out a solid beatin in CC once they get there. as an eldar player, your best bet is to do a few things:

destroy transports. trukks and battlewagons alike will pop pretty easy to lance fire, and once those pop, his force is usually walking. if you see trukks, pop them from a distance because on occasion destroying them will actually move them closer. against battlewagons they go poof like any other tank. id probally suggest a good mix of speed and long range firepower, with some fast CC for mop up. use fgalcons to destroy vehicles from range, reapers or warp spiders to shred the now foot slogging infantry, and banhees or scorpions to mop up the rest. your biggest CC threats will be nobs, often hitting with str 5-9 on the charge, and with 3 base attacks each they can hurt. use power weapons to negate FNP, and bring LOTS of attacks to cut past the 2 wounds each. otherwise, they have little to no psychic defense, so if you can farseers with some good offensive powers can rip apart orks who arent prepared.

thats it... now i need to find something to wash off the disgust i feel for helpin a elf.... oy.
