So I am going to a Highlander event in a couple of months and the rules are:
one faction (but potentially multiple sources), one of each unit type bar: one transport of 65 points or less can be repeated once,
you can duplicate a troop once after you have taken one unit of each troop in the codex,
one Forgeworld unit max,
one LOW of up to 450pts,
1650pts

So have a vote. Which do you think is the better army over three games? The missions will be a combination of Maelstrom and Eternal War in the ETC format. Thanks for looking!

Eldar don't have a bad unit in the codex.

Interesting. I would have said that Space Marine army has a pretty good chance of having that Eldar army for breakfast.

No votes!?!? Help!

Of the 3 votes, 33% are me....

:-(

The marines. By a hair. Highlander nixes the spammable elvish units pretty hard, so I'd go with the Emprah's Best.
