Just a suggestion - how about increasing Dark Reapers weapons range and move them to tier 3? Or maybe just add an upgrade on tier 3 to increase their range (or even damage) to 50 or smth, making them a kind of shooty Flash Gits for eldar? This will definitely improve their role in eldar roster, alt...

I thought sent has reduced repair already?

Honestly, despite all of the stupid things that happened in this game, and despite the fact that I should have played better, there was one passage of play that was very crucial and more ridiculous than anything else in the game. I lost a full health dread to paladins that chased it all the way fro...

INQ is amazing in this match-up if your wining T1 then i wont mention it, In T2 you cant really throw an IG player out their lane without a double, first purchase in T2 would be a chimera and upgrade your guardsmen, sit your chimera back if hes using physcannons he wont be able to walk through your ...

Give up playing SM and play INQ and laugh at the stunned BC try deal with your ridiculously early banewolf On a serious note, @ytmik you should check out http://dawnofwar.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=718 Codex explains what ratting is here and goes over loads of good tactics for a new and vet...

I think your giving these guys way more credit than its due, they do some nice damage if their allowed to fire without being focused or losing models but in reality they are focused and they bleed far to easy which makes their dps drop to a point where its not even doing that much to HI, Main issue ...

You might want to read the OP before posting. ??? I just read it? I saw nothing which invalidated what I said. I said " Lets get some GK players, or even whole teams (presuming this isn't 1v1)." That covers all cases. In the case of 1v1, "lets get some GK players" applies. In th...

What? buying exarchs in t1 gives no damage reduction? Yeah I was going to question those early gens, although what could hammer have done to stop that push even getting more dires would get battered by a good Knob, slugga, shoota push. Tex? Fancy letting us know how to counter your build just in tim...

Thanks for the replies, I think I may be forcing too many fights in t1 and bleeding too much, When choosing fights as eldar and playing defensive against a race like IG doesn't this allow them to go 0 power t1 fast tech a drop a banewolf on your farm? I had a game va bbbos where he went light t1 I t...

one of the big changes to eldar that noone seems to have mentioned much due to all the GK issues are the dire avengers First of all, thoughts on buying the exarch in t1? I feel eldar have one of the most expensive tier 1 at the moment and i'm not sure if to buy these or not due to their ability stil...

Do you have the replay ruthless? I want to see how that matchup plays out on the new patch not really had any ig bs eldar games lately, It used to be all about adapting to the eldar plays I always tried to stay away from investing in my guardsman due to all the aoe Farseer and warlock can throw even...

Although I would like the idea of allowing setup teams to switch back and fourth for a cost obviously, nothing more annoying than having a lascannon dev costing you upkeep when you kill your opponents walker and its essentially useless after that, thoughts? yep, this was my first thought, too. usua...

I'm sure it was always intended that only tacs and commanders can do this to bring a niche element to tacs which are known for being able to adapt to different situations. Would be kinda stupid if chaos could buy 2 squads of tzeentch and you build your army to counter this then next engagement they ...

Please mention what game mode your talking about in these topics, as the matchup plays very different if it's a 1v1 as oppose to a 3v3 lane against them,

in what world does a leman beat palandins with no kiting? Please stop with the GK fanboy your the only person I see that disagree with GK being too strong. He explained, a LR with a repair buker and 2 GM nearby, good luck with damaging the tank, 1 pally squad isn't going to cut it. I've seen more p...

Tank busters are decent if you can hit a chimera or razorback with their volley and get a couple bursts on them they kill them pretty easy makes orks able to deal with quick razorback bloodcrusher plays quite well considering they have no power cost, But I don't recommend buying them vs walkers you ...

Did you just quote yourself, then call yourself a GK fanboi? Honestly, with the new hotfix out that addresses those nagging issues with 2.4, I'm pretty patched out for now. Let's go a month or two with what we got before we suggest anything drastic. Haha I do not know how that happened, I should av...

BS. I lost a couple of paladin squads teleporting on top of a leman russ and hammering away at it. A couple of guardsmen repairing and the thing won't die. Target the guardsmen? The russ still kills the paladins. The guy didn't even kite or use range or do anything. He just sat there tanking the da...

Vanilla Dread ruins ogryns and they have similar cost by the time ogryns are upgraded, not sure why he would try ogryn play unless he was really far ahead and bashed you. With SM Dread, FC hammer and shotgun scouts, ogryn play is just a no as there a huge resource dump. In T1 I find double tacs with...

Races behave differently in 1v1 vs team games almost everybody knows that. For example land raider redeemer is quite weak in 1v1, pretty much the worst super unit in the game. But in team games a LRR makes the whole difference. Or Chaos in general, they just get ridiculously strong in team games si...

Paladins with their physcannons do a silly amount of damage to everything I was kiting them with a leman russ and they brought it to half health.. They can basically out shoot the leman even when kiting and if they get a good teleport in and get a couple swings your tank is dead and they retreat wit...

^This.

@Atlas: The Eldritch is amazing versus any target, I've seen it wipe armies many times before. It's the best nuke.

+1

I don't know which game mode your addressing adeptus, but when you have heretics charging with PC, noise marines and the GL disrupt from additional tics at least one of those threats are going to reach you , PC is one of the hardest matchups for IG along with warlock and they have plenty of tools to...

Of course you could beat them with IG in 3v3. IG in team games require practically no skill whatsoever. Freeman frequently buys 2x GM, sent, spotters, and stormtroopers in T2. All he does is a-move then with the LG's sniper ability while behind his allies and he does tremendous work, bleeding model...

If anything nobs need a buff to keep them on par with other factions their t3 is a bit of a joke atm in a 3v3 games. (In 1v1 there fine)

I agree with most of what torpid said above in team games it's just a never ever buy but in 1v1 it's not great either I don't fancy waiting until I hit t2 and got my first unit out before i finally get my first weapon upgrade on my hero that which gives him nothing but extra damage and no extra vers...

Yeah I agree with the above its just too similar to justify getting this at the times I would look to get it, most of the time the power sword does well enough until end of t2 which by that time you might aswel wait for the fist which is so much better for an extra 100 req But I agree the only time ...

Devastator/Havoc melee resistance is here to stay. As is the paladin/terminator retreat function. Am curious, why did devs and havocs get this buff but lootas, hwt, and gwt dont? If you retreat even a millisecond too late when being jumped on with any of the above they get wiped but devs and havock...

It's simaliar to the force commanders situation yeah but the fc can actually bleed models and the battle cry alone makes him strong in t1 and most of the time, the power sword is nice but never a must have unless I was against Gk last patch, but with the commi the sword is a must, Although that's no...

Ill start by saying these wargears are both very similar and decent on paper but I feel there is never ever a time I think buying the claw is worth it, If anyone has played the commi you'll notice his base damage without a weapon is terrible and the power sword in t1 is needed in pretty much most ma...
