The problem with the new codex is not the game breaking potential but the fact that emo ponytail elronds in space dominate the universe game wise, it's a bit embarassing tbh. Id love the next codex after eldar to be two times the cheese just so the eldar stop being best while still retaining their point and click win button daddy's princess noob army status.

I look at it this way. The last game I can remember winning with Eldar was at the beginning of 6th edition with the 4th edition codex. The main reason I won was due to some lucky rolls. My first game with the new codex will probably be something along the lines of:
1 Farseer, 3 Guardian squads with Bright Lance platforms, Crimson Hunter, Seer Council, Dark Reapers, Vaul's Wrath Support Battery.

I'll probably still lose. Just like my last game, where Pask managed to stun my Crimson Hunter into flying right on top of a Veteran squad where it promptly crashed.

6-th eldar: Wave serpents are fine because Howling Banshees.
7-th eldar: Wraiths, Knights and bikers are fine because 6-th ed. Howling Banshees.

See, Banshees need a nerf.

Wraithguard are necessary for the game. Eldar need something to counter those nasty underpriced dual CCW Helbrutes.

or Pentitent Engines....................

remember its all fair and balanced - probably even a little unfair on the Eldar -

I mean it must be cos thats what some Eldar Players are saying about it - and they would say if their codex was flat out broke - right?

Yeah i mean some are but they must be mistaken or not read the rules or just play rubbish people - or something. Or just not really Eldar players.

What do you mean you're tabled turn 3 before your meaningful units can even get in range?

You must just play better!

Yeah know - all these people that will keep loosing on purpose just to make the Eldar Codex look bad - its disgusting

nah just use the Eldar Codex regardless of your army

Wraithknight - great big pentient engine
Dire Avengers - Sisters
Swooping Hawks - Serpahim
Dark Reapers - Retributors
Rhino / Immolator- Wave Serpent
Fire Prisim - Exorcist

thats all sounds fine - right. Can't be a problem cos the new codex is obviously "balanced"

I don't need to see this army on the field to tell you it will flat roll people over. Thats cause I know what those stats do and those stats are way better than everyone elses. This isn't a new employee and we can just "see how it goes." This is math. You don't need to keep chugging the same math problem over and over to know it's correct.
