I don't know too much about eldar, but what is a decent starting level to teach her how to play?
We have: 1 Farseer, 1 Wraithlord, Wave Serpent, 10 guardians, 10 dire avengers and a vyper (all from the battleforce) but we can proxy if need be. What units are good to be taught with?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521141.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521141.page GMT hq of some sort though. Get an autarch for a simple hq or a farseer for psychic powers.

Later on get some warp spiders and maybe even a wraithknight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521188.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521188.page GMT HQ are covered. 5 additional dire avengers as well

Edited the origjnal post to reflect that. My bad]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521192.page GMT
Good luck, and happy gaming!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521267.page GMT 40k it was much easier to apply the rulebook after I had walked them through a game or two. I won't lie. The first few games will feel like you are playing with a toddler, and you may even have to help her tactics wise, but the most challenging part about 40k is learning not only your own army, but the armies you encounter on the battlefield. When I got into 40k I went to MiniWarGaming over on Youtube. (They also have a site, but I find the Youtube interface more friendly and easy to maneuver.) Matt and Dave (the owners/founders of MWG) do a great job with 40k. They have Battle Reports, Tactica Videos, a series called 'How to Play 6th Edition Warhammer 40,000', and much much more. You, even as a veteran player, may enjoy their painting tutorials and reviews.
Sorry, I know that is an unappealing block of text. The TL;DR (too long; didn't read) version:
1st.- Go over the rulebook with her very briefly.
2nd.- Play a few games with her. Really walk her through everything.
3rd.- Have her go reread the rulebook. (It is tediously long, but she can skip the fluff)
4th.- Play, Play, Play
5th.- Point her towards online resources, DakkaDakka, MiniWarGaming (On Youtube), or plenty others!

And remember, maybe let her win a few times. Happy wife = Happy life ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521740.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/578779/6521740.page GMT
