Space Marine List: {going on memory here :( }
Sniper unit x 2
bloody BIG tanks, AV14, with terminator squads in them. 5men squads.
Two Jump pack squads, think 10 men.
Two Skimmers.
Drop Pods with Temrinators/2 tack squads/2 Dreadnoughts.

We went 5 turns and then decided to end it.
Space Marine win by 2 points. Good game.
Wasnt much left of the Eldar by then those AV14 tanks
took everything I could shoot at them but I didnt even scratch them.
And the Terminators inside them when they came out Saved
all shots I got thru to them. :(

I sent the WK and the 2 WS up the middle and ended up
taking on those tanks. Very bad for me as my guns pretty much did nothing
against them.
The Knight did scare the bejeeus out of the Marine general though.

My WG in the WVSs took care of the Drop Pod squads pretty good.
With the wave serpent Shield gun pretty much being the king on the field.

Thru the WLs against the tanks and then gave up on that option.
Used them instead to take out his 2 Sniper squads.

All in all I felt most of the Lsit did pretty well.
The Warlord was useless. He hit easily but no wounds.
Kept rolling Ones!

I had one WG unit that pretty much was usless all game.
Got stuck in wrong area. no targets close enough.

And I feel like I didnt get the warp Spiders movemnet correct.
They just didnt seem fast.

Any suggestions on weapon changes to deal with those two AV14 tanks?

Did you try a smash attack with the Knight? (BRB, p42)

BUT I wouldn't think that you would need to tie up your knight in CC to kill two little AV14 tanks with all those S10, distort (autopen on 6s) wraithcannons running around!

Did you ever let your wraithguard have a go at the tanks? If not, then try this:

Run WS up to AV14, WG get out, light up offending AV14. The WG glance on 4s and pen on 5+. Don't forget that since the wraithcannons are AP2 that they get to add a +1 modifier to the roll on the Vehicle Damage table for all penetrating hits (so the AV14, aka deathtrap, explodes on 5+). AV14 up in smoke. Now you just have to deal with whatever was inside. This is where I'd use my second WS as a tag team...fire all guns at whatever lived.
