Hello all, old Black Templars player here, been playing Eldar for a while. Having grown tired of assault being obsolete and having shooting armies trash my advanced forces every time, I've decided to sit back and do what any reasonable player would, take advantage of a skyshield covered in some of the most renowned defending forces in the galaxy, The Imperial Fists, and pair them with the right amount of close combat oomf, slash extra unfairness from the knights for a terrifying force to remove from the table. On top of an insurmountable location, these new Legions of the Damned are ungodly objective smashers. The Legionaries remove enemy objectives, while the psykers and marine recon forces maintain home field objectives, giving mostly everything in the army a very nice invulnerable save. All that being said, here's the list proper:

There's a lot of new toys in this book, and a lot of answers to many difficulties brought on by this edition. I feel that I've taken most of the new over powered things, besides salivating over the concept of building my own centurions and pronouncing them as kenturions, muahaha. So all of that being said, what are your general thoughts? I happily await all thoughts on the new codex, and these shenanigans that are now legal!

Post to return recency, for some comments.

Content to deserve recency:
The Legion of the damned, are without a single doubt in my newly formed opinion the best platforms for gravguns and trump veterans in both cost, invulnerable saves, and the ability to fire the big guns on the move. Plus I don't own any drop pods.

This list brings a ton of firepower to the table and the only units on the table not benefiting from an invulnerable save are the scouts as even my tactical rhinos can hang tight on the pad and deploy towards objectives once the threat level calms down a bit.

As far as power gaming goes, I am unsure of how to be any cheesier. This is a direct counter to a grey knight/riptide player that dominates my meta, so no holds barred.
