Jink no longer exists, they suffer a hit penalty for moving with their strongest weapons, contesting is only possible if you have the same number of models on the point as your enemy so min-squads are useless, went up in points, lost a point of armor.

Anyone who seriously thinks windriders are even close to how good they used to be doesnt understand this game very well.

totally agree. Frankly i think im done with my eldar as a whole for now, they look like trash to me on paper anyway. Ill play my few games just to makesure im not undervalueing them, but im completely ready to move onto one of my other armies.

Fine with me. I can certainly stand for an entire edition without seeing the cheese elves of 3-turn tablings.

And the who cares award goes to this comment.

When was the last time you saw any game played where the winner of an objective game wasn't whoever just killed the most stuff (eg,who tabled the enemy first)? For me, that answer is never.

I've seen if a lot.
