I have finally played a game with the new eldar codex! Its against my friends blood angels in a 1500 point game of big guns never tire.

Hope you enjoy.

Great battle report, I'm loving the new Eldar!

Glad you like it dude im quite enjoying them myself.

Very nice! I am also dusting my space elves off but have yet to get a game in with them.

I am also very concerned about the Warlocks (and Spiritseers to a lesser extent). With their low Ldr, single wound, and no way to mitigate perils, they are going to kill themselves more than any enemy will. Not sure what GW was thinking with them..

WRT to Wraithguard, I really want to try them in waveserpents to help them get to where they need to be the most use. Sure its more points but one waveserpent using their shield weapon has a fair chance of destroying anything in cover.

Great Report! It was crazy to see the Blood Angels dealt with so easily.

I look forward to reading more and seeing more of the new Eldar in action.

Peace Out!
Jonny!

I dont know why but I didnt even consider a wave serpent that could actually work really well.

Great report, really enjoyed reading it. I was hoping to try out my new Eldar this week, but FedEx sent my order to a town about 30 minutes east of here... and instead of sending it straight here or calling me to see if I wanted to pick it up, they send it 8 hours further east just to send it back here. Now it's in Jacksonville under a hurricane >_< Next week I have my Dark Eldar set to fight Necrons too, so it might be a while before I get to try them.

I share others' concerns with the Warlock, though with my wraithwing army my concern is more geared toward the Spiritseer and how he'll support my Wraiththings. At least when the Iyanden Codex comes out I can take two of them (assuming FedEx doesn't lose that too...)

Well currently you can still take 2 of them and i quite like the idea behind them. spirit marking units for a army of wraith will get that unit killed. I hope you get your stuff soon.

True, but my list also includes a Farseer as my Dark Eldar and Orks never get to use psyker powers (Weirdboy is fun but too different to compare) and I want to try them out a bit more reliably.
