Eldar blog
Firstly a little about me, I've been playing for 18 years and love 40k. I'm pretty competitive, do like to win and tend to win a lot. Lately I do seem to have been a lot less competitive maybe due to old age (30). The main problem I have is a lack of an attention span so change armies a lot.
Right then, this is my first blog on eldar and I will try to keep updating it as I find out more on how to use them. Eldar are my favourite army collected them far to many times to count.
So when the new rules came out I thought great I will get all the new models and make an army out them. This was a massive mistake, at the moment GW seem to like releasing new models with great rules but I don't think this counts for eldar. So here's what I got:
15 Wraithguard
1 Farseer
1 spirit seer
10 Dire avengers
2 fliers
1 Wraith lord
1 Wraith knight
basically I've ended up with a very slow eldar army, which is a very odd place to be. I have used this army only twice so far and in the first game I played nids. It had a lot of genestealers (60). I won just but I shouldn't of I'm still not really sure how I did, the avengers did all the work and my Farseer failed to cast fortune for 5 turns out of seven.
The second game was against tau and I helped my friend make his list. This army is scary loads of shooting. I said to someone before the game if I survive to turn 3 it's a moral victory. In 18 years of playing this was the biggest kicking I have ever had, I did survive to turn 3 just but he wiped me out on his turn 3.
Right this is the list of models I am planning on keeping in my army
Farseer
Avengers
That's it, the kicking seems to have lets say brought out my competitive side again.
Next time I'm gonna wright about a more competitive list I have in my head and thanks for reading.
