Not too much to say about my initial thoughts of the new Eldar Codex that hasn't been said everywhere else already. I have really enjoyed reading the new book, and overall, I am happy with the rules except for a few things here and there. As only play testing will give us a real feel for the Codex, here is a report of my very first game with a few units I wanted to try out. It was just a fun game with my buddies, where we turned up with 1200 points each and rolled to see who would team up with who. I ended up with Grey Knights on my side and we were up against Orks and Ultra Marines...
What's the skinny?
ReplyDeleteWe ran out of time to finish the game, but it seemed like it was going to be a draw in the end, so that's what we called it.
ReplyDeleteI tried out Wave Serpents with Scatter Lasers and holofields, energy field are great now :D
I had five Fire Dragons in two Serpents and they did their usual, get out kill something then die, even with the 3+, although it was very handy to run and then shoot.
I had two Jetbike units (without Warlocks), which were as awesome as the stats indicate they are for the points.
I had the Avatar as the HQ, which went down to Sternguard, so no change there lol
I tried Dire Avengers, but they didn't get out of the Serpent to see what they were like.
Overall, a thumbs up :)
I have been thinking of using Serpents with the same setup. Is the holofield worth the extra points? I suspect Dragons may last a little longer, but will ultimately die. They are just a too high threat to survive. What is the skinny on Jetbikes? Speaking of Jetbikes I am thinking of using Aurtarch with jetbike, fusion gun, mantle of the laughing god & firesabre.

Holofields are great, really helped keep them up with the 4+/3+ Jinks saves. Yeah, An Autarch on a bike is my shout also, and bikes rock mate, they have the speed and now the guns. Hitting on 3s and then bladestorm is awesome, plus they are cheaper now :)
