Going for (semi) static firebases centered on objectives. Prisms for long range, walkers for mid and guardians for if they get up close.

My friends all play space marines but mainly Dark Angels and Space Wolves. I'm not having a particularly hard time beating either (thanks to the new eldar codex!) but am trying to employ new mantleseer on a bike (Jain Zar conversion).

How does this list seem to the Veteran players out there?

Thanks ahead of time Dakka!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549654/6007872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549654/6007872.page GMT Right now I only see that if you keep your troops together they will be able to handle 2+ deep striking units. Otherwise you'll probably be ran over. Some counter chargers would be nice.
But if they footslogg or go by mech you should be fine.

I don't really see how you would take objectives with this list. I would change the rangers for a 3 squad of jetbikes for some objective rushing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549654/6008309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549654/6008309.page GMT
Does anyone have trouble facing deepstrikers? It's generally avoided by most around here. After rolling for scatter and blasting for one round those terminators or landspeeders are wiped off the board by the following turn of shooting...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549654/6009171.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549654/6009171.page GMT MEQ. Eldar are really good against marines due to our mass rending with shuriken weapons. As far as counter assault, any marine unit will have to wade through an overwatch of bladestorm, then you strike first. Rangers and guardians will probably get rolled, but avengers have counter attack as well as an exarch, to hit back.

Prisms are also great against marines, and anything that deep strikes in a nice little blob is asking for a blast template.

Using your laughing seer, you can guide/prescience a key unit and dakka them off the board.

If your worried about getting objectives on the other side of the board, remember rangers can outflank and move through cover. They also have pistols and battle focus, making them fairly quick and the pistol has the same odds as their long rifle to kill a marine....

The only thing I would change is get your avenger exarch a better weapon. Spring for a diresword if you want that route, or a shimmershield. Alternatively, drop to a TL catapult or drop the ex altogether. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549654/6009196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/549654/6009196.page GMT
