Email in: 1750 Eldar Tournament Tunning

Posted by Unknown

"Hello!

First, sorry for any grammar errors...English is not my first language. I'm Portuguese. Your English is much better than my Portuguese!

I've been reading your blog and YTTH for a few months now. Very good tactics and advice and really enjoyable to read

I've played for a while with a JetCouncil...then the Pshycic Hood Spam arrive...and bye bye Council.

Currently using a S6 Mech Spam, this one:

DoomSeer and RoW
Autarch FG
2x5 FD in Wave with TL ShCann
2x5 DA in WS with TL BL
5 DA
Falcon, SL, HF
2xFP
2x3 Vypers

The best that Eldar can offer!...meh... think...

I'll be taking my Eldar to THE 40K Tournament. It is a 2 day tournament, 1750pts list, with 5 games.

Missions are :

Seize Ground (3 objectivos) / Spearhead Deployment
Annihilation / Dawn of War Deployment)
Seize Ground (5 objectivos) / Pitched Battle Deployment
Capture & Control / Pitched Battle Deployment
Annihilation / Spearhead Deployment

Problem is the Objective missions. I was thinking to drop one of the Vypers Squadron to add a fourth Troops, a 6xJetbike squad (and have to drop the Falvon for a TL BL Wave Serpent). What do you think? Is it worth dropping firepower for a extra scoring unit?

Thanks,
Luís"

Sorry this took me some time to get to Luis, hope the tournament hasn't come and gone! Thesis is nearly done everyone, just proof-reading and adding in references. yay! I then might go into a coma...

So the list. I'd leave it as it is. Just to check, what are the Vypers running? 2x SC or SC/SL? And do all of the tanks have underslung Shuriken Cannons? Those are the things you want to focus on. You've got three relatively durable Troops in terms of hiding in Tanks, especially the Falcon DA. If your opponent wants to focus on your Troops your Prisms, Vypers and Dragons are all getting free reign which is fine for you. So basically I'd leave as is; solid Eldar list.

Thanks for the feedback Kirby!...And good luck with the thesis! I've been in that road...I konw how painfull it is!

And now the list. I have Scatter Laser on the Vypers (3 Squadrons of 2 Vypers each), and I don't have te points to add underslug Shurican Cannons to the tanks...I have 10pts spare points.

So, why the underslug SC on the Vypers? It seems that very time they are shot at...they are vaporized!

And now, the question that I always want to ask? Why Eldrad?LOL...over a Regular Seer+Autarch...(Psychic hoods are still there). 3 Powers and Divination are awesome...but.."meh".

As for Centurion, go for Bloodhammer.

As Chumby said, cannons add a lot more firepower and every tank which takes a weapon destroyed still has a heavy weapon to fire. I might drop a Vyper to add shuricannons to everything (Prisms, Serpents, Vypers, Falcon) as that adds up to a lot of S6.

Eldrad is nice but not necessary. I think simple Doomseers work fine as well as a cheap HQ.

The added Cannons give you more S6 shots that you can fire on the move. Comes in handy considering it's your only real AT outside of Dragons :P

Eldrad has 3 powers, super handy.

There are ways of keeping Vypers alive - first off - get Scatter lasers on them - that way you can hang back, pinging away at infantry and light vehicles, safe from rapid fire.
Make sure you get those cover saves. In units of two, only one has to remain in cover for both to claim the cover save. Don't be afraid to forgo shooting for a turn by going out flat out, if it means being able to get to an area that will grant cover saves at safe distance from the enemy.
