jasonneo Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Can anyone suggest improving my chances against a well dug in Beil Tan force? My biggest problem is their psychic powers! My opponent constantly casts 'fortune' on his shooters and 'doom' on whatever of mine is being shot at. This effectively gives him a lot of re-rolls and with the SW codex being so limited on psychic powers for the Rune Priest (lets hide in a cloud) Im struggling with damage limitation before I can get in CC. He has also recently added a reducing power that reduces my number of attacks in CC by 1 for each turn Im locked in CC, so Im losing my claws getting to the fight and then losing some of my attack bonus when I do get there! Ive been given the suggestion of taking an Iquisitor which would allow me to field as assassin directly next to his psycher, but Id much prefer to remain true to Fenris without involving the inquistion!

Askari Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 It sounds like you're a Space wolf player. The basic advice is run mech to protect your troops from starcannons and reaper launchers. Dreads in drop pods are also good against their close combat troops like scorpions and banshees. Shoot up their assault units and charge their shooty infantry. Wraithguard and wraithlords should be taken down with auto/las cannons from afar. Assault cannons also work wel against eldar. Units with warlocks are hard to kill because of all the buffs they get but a charge by a dreadnought after softening them up with a heavy flamer is usually effective. Assault cannon and heavy bolter spam is also effective.

Ming Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Librarian to counter the spells. Librarian to counter the spells. Get the libby within 24 inches of the warlock, and behold, no Eldar magic...

eyescrossed Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Uhh... Wouldn't he cast Guide on his shooty units? If he's casting Fortune on them, he's an idiot.

Ming Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 So a rune priest does not have a psychic hood equivalent then? (I have to ask, I'm not at a codex location). Units do not have runic upgrades that protect / save from psychic attacks? Well then, the question is moot. If you are a TRUE Wolf Lord, you don't care' bout' no stinkin' warlocks, you just charge in fast and put the wolves on em'!!! Yargh!!! The warlock is no threat if his ead' is on the end of your icefang weapon blade! Failing that, landpeeder with heavy flamer...
