Today was finally the day, when i tried my Craftworld Eldar -codex for the first time!
We played two games, 2500p against GK/BA and 1500p against BA. In the larger game, i tried different formations and the smaller was with FOC.
I enjoyed both of the games, and will upload the 2500p tonight as a BATREP, so go check that out in few hours (starting to edit it now) and the other match next week.
First impressions...you gots to remember SOOOO many rules...Exarch`s, units, formations, Warlord trait, powers...i missed few, like the Re-Roll to hit with Wraith Host at least couple of times (if 18" from SS). Units that worked well, were the Rangers, Warp Spiders, Jetbikes (with Cannons, altough no ObSec cost me couple of points...) and the Wraith Knight.
Was anything OP according to my opponent? Not really. The bikes were annoying according to him, but with the proper tools (Sternguard in a Drop Pod, Assault Marines, deploying Dred Knights on the OTHER side of the table, away from the stock WK), he could counter my army pretty easily). I even Mishapped with my other Spider -unit and rolled a 1...that sucked...it was still a TIGHT game.
My friend is a veteran and i can use these Formations against him and another veteran with a smile. For the guy who plays less and has played only for couple of years, i think i´ll go with FOC without a WK, just to keep it nice .
