Well, played a game with eldar, Howling Banshees are awesome.
I thought he should act responsibly and just kill himself.

Yes, they are quite annoying. Don't much like being shot though.

They were both unlucky and lucky. First turn for some reason their owner rammed a Wave Serpent into a Whirlwind thinking it an easy kill. Cue one immobilised artillery piece and a flaming fireball spilling red haired banshees onto the ground later...

His turn he sends an assault marine squad and a sanguinary priest at them, shoots, does nothing, then charges. I kill them all before he can strike (I think he'll have learned from this). My turn next, move, fleet, assault a tactical squad, kill all but 1 who somehow survives. And that's where it ended for the Banshees. They needed to kill em all to consolidate backwards. Why? Death Company was staring right at them and was just in charge range. As they were stuck in combat, no initiative 10 or counter attack, killed 3 Death Company with the Exarch before the Banshees were annihilated by them, a captain and a ...whatever those guys with Crozius are.

Striking Scorpions got all his ire shooting wise due to the 40minute game we played where 6 of them killed most of his stuff. This left an Exarch with a powerclaw not doing much. He did kill a tactical squad by himself before being shot though, so it's all good.

Pathfinders did nothing. Fled. Rallied. Got shot dead by a rhino (really).

Sounds like you did well with the banshees.  I can't work it out if you played the game or someone else did MrDwhitey from your comments!

I will assume you used the eldar.  What did you give the Exarch?  Executioner?  Did you have guide or doom assisting them? 

I find mine always die too easily and struggle to kill t4 things.  I prefer scorpions for that reason :)

The Exarch was armed with Mirror Blades (executioner is awesome, but I like an extra attack with doom). The assault marines were not doomed. I was lucky with the wound rolls.

The tacticals were doomed, I was unlucky with the wound rolls.  :happy:

Guide is only for shooting I thought. My Farseers had Doom and Fortune.

Pathfinders suck in my opinion. I don't play Eldar, but I never worry about those Pathfinders when playing against them and so far they have yet to prove me wrong. It's one of those "oh, I'll kill them when I get around to it" units.

Yeah, they were a big afterthought as I needed to fill up on points to reach 1750.  Thankfully it's 1500 next week, but ironically, against Plague Marines.

My old Plague Marines.  :ph34r:

I am fairly certain you can use Guide for combat attacks.  I may be wrong though.  I usually use Guide and Fortune on my single Farseer.

Unless you roll your close combat attacks in the shooting phase.. I'm not so sure.

It appears I was talking utter rubbish about guide!  That is probably why I never use banshees, and use scorpions instead though, as I don't take doom!

My list was a hideous mish mash of what I had available.

It went something like:

3 Wraith Lords with Bright Lances and Missile Launchers.

2 Guardian squads of 10, Missile Launchers, Warlock with singing spear, spiritseer and Embolden (reroll all leadership tests).

2 Farseers, both with doom and fortune, one had the runes that made the other guy roll 3 dice for psychic tests.

10 Howling Banshees with counter charge and warshout exarch with mirrorswords. They rode in a superfast wave serpent.

10 Scorpions with infiltrate and move through cover exarch with powerfist.

7 Pathfinders.

I thought pathfinders were Tau.

Eldar have rangers.



I refuse to recognise that the names may have changed.

You upgrade Rangers to Pathfinders.

All it does is make them slightly more expensive crap.

Is this a passable looking Predator? I had this tank model for free, so I decided to give it a shot.
