    they’re squishy…i thought that would be obvious. besides that, their main weakness is their specialisation. they’re vulnerable to hard counters.

    Agreed, the way a lot of their units are extremely specialised means the opponent sometimes only have to take out the units most dangerous to him to gain an advantage.

    For example, if a vehicle heavy army such as Mech IG managed to take out the anti-vehicle units like Fire Dragon, anti-infantry units like Banshees can’t do anything if they can’t open any transports.

    I’d say their biggest weakness is a combination of an unbalanced army list and a poor player.
    You see a lot of armies around with the wrong combination of units but they are able to get away with some degree of success because they are either quite tough or don’t require much in the tactics dept, other than march across the battlefield. You can’t get away with this with armies like Eldar.
    If your looking for a weakness? I’d say cut off the head and take out the Farseer.

    @huscarle they don’t always need the farseer to be dangerous. banshees are still banshees…halequins are still harlequins…fire dragons are still…you get the idea.

  • Avatar Image deathangel216p said 1 year, 1 month ago:

    @thekid try loading up on medium-high strength template weapons…spread em out and pick em off. i assume the army you’re trying to beat is low in model count. what are you using?

  • Avatar Image thekid3p said 1 year, 1 month ago:

    yes it is he uses jet bikes mainly and i play nids but not sure how to take them on ??

  • Avatar Image huscarle645p said 1 year, 1 month ago:

    @deathangel yes i get the idea Eldar are not new concept for me :-) . My point being the farseer will make your Aspects twice as good at what they do and let’s face it they need all the help they can get.

    @thekid I wasn’t sure at the time if you were the nid player or the Eldar. I see now you are the nid player. speaking as an Eldar player I always struggle against hordes of gaunts spread across the table, I just can’t kill them quick enough. I have a far easier time against the bigger ones.

    @thekid gaunts, genestealers, zoanthropes & the doom, all fine choices for eating eldar jetbikes…

  • Avatar Image thekid3p said 1 year, 1 month ago:
