Don't forget, the Shields might be able to turn your pens into glances, but it'll still take 3 glances to bring it down. (Barring their 4+ cover...)

I love the idea of elite troops with little staying power (DAs) being driven around the battlefield in a resilient mobile APC. But the Serpent Shield make it game breaking :(

It is sort of amusing and sad at the same time that Eldar can easily play without any troop presence on the table until the last minute objective rush.

On the other hand maybe that is how it should go, but only Eldar and Necrons can pull it off.

Eldar have always been meant to play that way. It was just back in 2nd there were not objective based games. The hit and run style is their bread and butter, but it is always a gamble because you don't know when the game will end. If you don't spend your time clearing out around objectives Eldar will find themselves praying for that 1 or 2 at the end of turn 5.

Of course I don't play Iyanden which have changed the illusion of Eldar style up a bit. Wraithguard armies have given Eldar a powerful scoring unit that can take objectives last turn and has the toughness and armor not to get blasted away if the game continues. But man are those guys expensive!
