I dont usually do these who will win polls but thought this one might be fun and have shamelessly ripped of JY2s format.

I decided to put evey 2nd ed metal Eldar model I had up against every Space Wolf one.

Spoiler:

Mission:
Purge the Alien seemed appropriate and it was simple enough to run at 2k. Each side would place a single objective in their deployment zone. 3 points for control of each. Everything could score it was decided to spice things up a bit and compensate for lack of troops.

Points:
Approx 2k a side. The Space Wolves were a few points behind so I allowed them to select a LR Crusader since it had quite a lot of metal parts to it

Armies:
Unbound

Space Wolves

Spoiler:

Eldar:

Spoiler:

SW psyhic powers: Njal - most of the Tempestus deck!
Librarian - forewarning, foreboding, prescience

Eldar psychic powers: Eldrad - most of the Fate deck!
Warlocks: various.

Ragnar WL trait: Saga of Warrior Born

Eldrad WL trait: Master of Ambush (suited the theme nicely!).

Reasons why the Space Wolves will win
- The Landraider - Eldar havent much to stop it
- Too much hand to hand, SW characters are wrecking machines in hth and their troops are tougher in melee than most of the Eldar
- A more balanced list, long fangs for anti tank range, mobile bunker with LR, strong hth, ATSKF, slightly stronger psychics
- T3 Eldar
- No "superstar" Eldar units - WKs, WS spam, Bikes, Seerstars etc

Reasons why the Eldar will win
- More manouverable army, several deepstrikers, master of ambush, fleet
- Lots of str6 shooting - wounding on 2s Vs most SW units
- Strong psychic powers with Eldrad
- Specialist units can pick apart each SW opposite
- WL/WG are tough

I'll hopefully get the Rep up over the weekend.
