Mission: Big Guns Never Tire
Deployment: Hammer and Anvil
Night Fighting Turn 1?: Yes

Our resident Necrons player returns to the table for a match!

Really good video, and grats at least on getting a tie against Necrons (not particularly easy).

Some humble advice:
On War Walkers, you should pair a scatter laser with any other weapon to give them Twinlink. Against Necrons, I would have taken Starcannons. The Laser Lock from Scatter Laser makes this tactic a lynch pin for any Eldar that is capable of fielding two such weapons (Wraithlord and Knight included).

This next one is way more subjective, but if you are graced with Fortune, cast it on War Walkers. With a 5++ re-rollable, WW can be surprisingly durable and soak up lots of hits. And don't forget that more rounds with them alive can really help with dishing out their ridiculous fire.

Just my experience and two crummy cents.

I usually like to go with higher volume of shots for a TAC list but perhaps I will start switching out and see how it goes.

I always take Scatterlasers. But I also always have Guide present to TL both their weapons, Laser Lock rule would go to waste in this case.

Oh oh oh! I forgot to say. Awesome batrep, loved the style you guys have.

Great BatRep! I enjoy watching reports of Eldar playing Necrons as they are the two armies I play as.

Hmmm... is it me or did It look like the WraithKnight had the center objective? Since the mission was "Big Guns Never Tire" that makes heavies scoring. It's hard to tell from the video, but it looked like the Necron Warriors were just out of contesting range of the center objective, where as the WraithKnight's large oval base was still in range to claim it. Always hard to gauge distance when watching videos.
