MiniWarGaming just put up a batrep of Eldar vs new Tau, both bringing GC's. Is this a reasonable example of comparing Eldar to Tau player levels?

Just finished the video. While I think there are some variations due to player skill, I think Tau are definitely comparable to 7th edition Eldar in terms of power level.

Tau don't have the scatterlaser. Mike drop.

Didn't seem to help much in the video. Also, mic* unless you really hate some guy named Mike

Tau are in a league of their own. Nothing Eldar have compares to Coordinated Firepower.

Sure, it's only one trick, but it's the best trick.

I'm not sure you understand what it means to have every unit count as the same unit, sharing all benefits, for purposes of shooting, especially in an army where all of those units can still shoot different targets.

Agreed. Also, in this match especially, who went first seemed to matter a lot.

Right. Good catch.

I guess it's worth pointing out that 2+ armor MCs are one of the few things that scatterlasers don't instantly evaporate.

That being said, I always question the competency of these bat rep people.

Oh definitely. I think Matt and Steve are fairly good, but some of the people who've come in are just terrible.
