Rune Priest Jbickb Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Agreed way less worried about my eldar buddies now, especially because I love alpha strike.

gwarsh41 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Against Eldar, wouldn't your pod be forced to alpha strike turn 1? Planning on picking up another pod or two, trying to get my forced up to 5 for a full pod army. Do you think plasma has any place against eldar? Personally I prefer melta and flamers, which both seem like they would do fine against eldar.

wulfgar hammerfist Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 He had two pods full of GH land on turn one in accordance with the Drop Pod Assault rule. The empty pod came in from reserve.

Wolf Guard Dan Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Nice win. You took it to them. I think that guy brought a good list but he probably had bad deployment allowing you free shooting at all of his units. He should have utilized counter deploy/ reserve/ line of sight blocking terrain. You did a really good job against a solid list though. Well done.

Frater Cornelius Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 Its hard to tell from Immerstrum's battle reports though. The guy is a tactical genius and based on his reporting has a 80-85% win rate with 4-5 armies. A standard Eldar list will give the average spacewolf play/list tons of trouble, largely due to rule disparity, and that is a bummer. It's more likely that you have some sort of personal vendetta against me, seeing as you tried to knock me down multiple times. No the first thread this is happening in. As for the Eldar game, it proved that Jetbike spam is weak against SM alpha strike. Nothing more and nothing less. It did not tell us whether Eldar are more or less competitive in the meta, it did not tell us what the prominent lists will be either. It just told us that one specific setup is weak against another specific setup. Doesn't take a tactical genius to do that. If Eldar would have gone first, I would have had a harder time. And yes, I do have a positive win-rate. Not 80% though. My batreps are not as much for entertainment as they are to make a certain point. To make said point, it usually requires me to win. Simple as that. Since when did it become a crime to be good at something anyway.
