'I also love Painbikes.' ^ lol.
"See I would argue a few things here. First, at least this goes for my meta, 'ard boys aren't worth the points because most weaponry fired at them are AP4 or...
750/800 pts gives a good small game on a 4x4 - but you need to limit uber characters, ebay is a good place to buy really cheap stuff that you can proxy before you commit to purchase and paint.
...
is that singles or doubles ?
wow. i thought this thread would be full of 'its broken its broken' etc.
not that were going to get any wishes granted - so this is another slant on what do you houserule !
so quicklist:
1;...
not a lot to handle A13 / A14 ?
7 is better than 8 ! - as with 2 left they can still rally ! and even two lucky spiders can do some damage
ive taken to running reapers in 3's if on foot - or...
oohh look - expensive kamikaze unit ! [bang] [knife - gunfight ]
a guaranteed 12" charge would be useful !
scorpz are still better !
not got new codex yet - pathfinders are/were 25pts - a basic ranger is just cannon fodder ! if theyve dropped the points then awesome! :rolleyes:
and ld 8 just stinks !
ebay is your best friend ! unless you really enjoy starting from scratch.
two ethereals, a few kroot and triptides is a good start ! :eek:
pmsl. :cool:
i dont think DE are that bad !
some of the old builds are now ineffective - but there is lots of good stuff - and as long as you dont play on billiard tables - the DE should be ok for 2 turns...
i play eldar - and our snipers are even worse ! 25pts for a dar that cant hit a barn door at 20 paces - i shoot better [and im not good ]
its not that snipers are truly awful - its just that most have a crazy short range - 60" would be better - and they should come in 1/2/3 man teams and not count towards kill points [or mb 1/2 a kill...
was anticipating some humour here !
i think they rotate between the three principles in each codex.
some units are moved randomly up or down a d6 or a d10 in points
some units are nerfed...
the superb master of every aspect of eldar warfare !
best option - purely for the reserve bonus - bring a cheap tarch with fusion gun for 80pts and hide him somewhere - possibly even off board ! ...
if youre not gw fussy - getting orc bodies from 'another source' is great - gw weapons and heads are still far superior though
'vehicles' are immune to poison ! the 'hybrid' issue has long been an unresolved problem !
wraithlords die like drowning kittens - :eek:
we've boosted 'monstrous creatures' to a +1 to their...
i find that with a bit of bodging vehicle weapons [plenty spare with eldar vehicles] can be turned into infantry weapons by 'adding' the bit you need to a modified shuricat off a guardian or DA -...
almost complete opposite of my necrons. lol. no wraith. no praetorians. oh my. and really destroyers in 3's ? or is that the newdex ?
the block ! :rolleyes:
fast skimmers move 12" and fire two weapons at full bs.
turbo-boosting is correctly done after shooting - but think most ppl do it at same time as move to speed games up - so if youve shot at all...
speedfreaks without rokkit buggies ??
warbosses on bikes ! run at least two or maybe four at 2k !
min / max your tankbustas - they are all going to die horribly but are a target priority over...
no you wouldnt - not with one shot - cos all termis would have two wounds - and they still have a 5++, but its a bit radical maybe.
remove all 2+ armour - give all 2+ armour types an extra wound ! - possibly remove instant death from multi-wound models [ie give them eternal warrior]
remove all AP2 weapons and make AP 1 weapons...
the newdedex is still getting 'play tested' by most users - the 'shift' still catching out players who dont play de all the time .
for my 2 cents. the best unit in the new book is the reaver...
