Dark angels 4++ land raider spam of doom. Laugh as their beat gun fails to get a pen result better than 3 EVERY TIME, and less than 2 make it through the rolling and saves every time.

Take some thundernators or fist vets and rip em apart at close range.

A proper competitive list is not made of just wave serpents.

I don't think your land raiders can handle 15 BS4 melta shots and make you laugh though.

Now if you're indeed spamming those in some kind of LR death pack of doom, it may get trickier - and assuredly it's a hard one for an Eldar mech - but there are other options to just wreck your face, like WK or Seerstar.

Good luck fighting a seerstar with your land raiders.

4+ regardless. 3+ with holofields if it moved.

LoTD with 3 melta.is half decent. But if the Eldar player has his serpent shield up, you're looking at two glances, factoring in BS.

The only time the serpent shield is up is either when you had nothing to shoot the previous turn, or the previous turn was turn 0.

I would say black templars LRC spam(probably the only BT build that doesnt completely suck)
1.) Serpents can't hurt LRC'S
2. They have objective secured, just like WS' s
3) loads of assault cannon fire will roflstomp serpents
you can easily have 5 LRcrusaders in 1850 pts, but you will have around 30 models, meaning most other serious builds will take a dump on it. If you wanna list tailor, it will give eldar tough time, but (many) other things will destroy you...
Them pointy eared cheesemongering bastards....

I can also not even tailor against that and beat it - with my most competitive 1850 list.

With three WK and three fragon squads I pop at least 3LR a turn.

The danger, as I said, is not the Wave Serpents.

Nobody for fast durable assault units? Units like Fleshhounds with their scout, 12' move and 2W can usually get to them.
