<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets!"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets! gw was out of their minds with the codex but I have a question, maybe more.

So as I play guard I came up across an eldar list with tau allies. My opponent eldar hq/warlord was some dude on a bike that has rerolling saves. He also had some kind of psychic power that he can give to a model or a unit(i dont know) that allows them to reroll saves.

Now the question is can the psychic power for rerolling saves be casted on the tau, like during the game the tau detachment had a riptide so giving it a reroll on saves made it very powerful and damn near almost impossible to kill. So I figured I would ask this to verify if it could be, I dont have the eldars codex or know much about them but the combo was so cheesy I had to make sure it is true.

Thanks for the help]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5994796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5994796.page GMT Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5994806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5994806.page GMT Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets!

I had just heard before that there were some eldar powers that could only be cast on eldar only units so I wasnt sure if that was still the case, but I will have to check the matrix later as I dont got my book on me but im certain that they can cast the power on tau, what power is that actually that allows the rerolls, fortune?


There were. Emphasis on Were. The Eldar powers in the last codex were typically "target Eldar unit". That is no longer the case in the new codex, they can be cast on anyone.

And yes, it's Fortune from the "Runes of Fate" table in the Eldar codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5994922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5994922.page GMT Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5995997.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5995997.page GMT Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets! btw, target the farseer with a few krak missiles, and watch the psychic support be instant deathed off the table.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5996016.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5996016.page GMT Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets!

I don't think there is a way for the farseer to have rerolling saves and be able to cast fortune at the same time. For that she has to cast fortune on herself and you can only have a psychic power once per psyker.

The "Dude on the Bike" is a Farseer with the Mantle of the Laughing God, which gives re-rolls to cover saves. Only cover saves mind, but given it also gives Shrouded and Stealth, and being on a bike gives him Jink, unless he's standing around like a putz (or you set him on fire) he's always going to have a re-rollable 2+ cover save to use.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5996045.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5996045.page GMT Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets!

Ah jeez haven't seen that in use yet. Disregard what I said then ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5996071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5996071.page GMT Re:Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets! AP ones) he'll fail enough other saves to die, and unless he's Fortuned himself he doesn't get to reroll those.
The fact that he *has* to run alone with the Mantle makes him a nice juicy target.

As for dealing with Fortuned units - while they get to reroll any failed saves, if you fire higher AP weapons and/or cover-ignoring weapons to suit, you can effectively eliminate the higher save - even better if you catch a unit out in the open. A 5+ reroll is much better for you than a 4+ reroll.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5996174.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5996174.page GMT Re:Eldar and rerolling saves-eldar vets! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5998152.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548920/5998152.page GMT
