Re: Striking Scorpions... Donations

The way my friend put it is, Striking Scorpions are the Eldar's anti-horde unit. He also confirmed that he will definitely donate when they're in game ;-)

Re: Striking Scorpions... Donations

They don't add anything though. If your Banshees are down to half HP charging at Shootas, you're playing the game wrong, and you need to re-evaluate you stratergy.

Re: Striking Scorpions... Donations

Well, I wouldn't call banshees a linebreaker by any means, however they're not meant to be because as you say Swift they are opportunists. Eldar don't need nor should they have a line-breaker.

Striking Scorpions... Donations

My friend, a long-time Eldar player in tabletop 40k, is just getting into Elite Mod and is shocked to find there are STILL no Striking Scorpions. Equipped with 3+ armor (equivalent to Space Marines), the ability to infiltrate and potentially emp grenades, striking scorpions fill a completely differe...
