I am not a good player. Although, I feel like I am a fun player to play against in a tourney. Not lawyerly or hyper-competitive. That said I am bringing the cheese for this take-all-comers. Y'Varha spam

No stims may be something you regret.

Ethereal will award a 6+ FNP for free compared to the expensive stims. After reading a little about Magnus, I decided I needed more antipsycher so I dropped the Farseer and a few Scatbikes and added a Culexus. Because of ITC Ruling however, I can only have 3 Detachments, thus sacrificing the RipTide Wing. It may be too much. I will be play testing this soon. I may drop some shuribikes to award skyfire.

Why are you bringing the eldar? A farsight Cad with solo flamer squads will give you the obsec and you can put the tides back in the formation.

Fruzzle:
Thats true. I hafnt thought of that. The problem is how much firepower and wounds and mobility I would lose.

In this bargain I have lost 10× (4+) Wounds and 13× (3+) Wounds for 12 (3+) Wounds. I have lost 8x4=32 S6 30" Shots that hit on 3s. For 12 flamers. I have lost 6" of Mvmt in move phase, none in the assault and 30" in the shooting phase. In ITC, you gotta be mobile. The suits just dont compare to the scat packs.

Well I didn't mean that many suits, 2 or 1 are basically the same, I'd probably go with 2x missiles to start on the table for objectives and los camping purposes and 4x 1 flamer suit to deep strike.


If you insist on sticking with the eldar I'd just go all scatter lasers. any reason you took the shuricannons?

Needed the points.
