Imperial guard vs eldar

Postby Superhooper01 » Tue 09 Sep, 2014 5:07 pm

Hey guys im trying to improve my imperial guard play and im finding eldar to be tricky and down right stressful.

Seems ever game i play against a good/experienced eldar player they get 2 set up teams with at least 2 or 3 dire avenger squads. This puts a lot of dps on sents and guard. if i get 2 set up teams the dire avengers often flank and use their grenades or quickly rush to tier 2 and get wraith-guard plus the eldar heroes can often get immolate on warlock or rune Armour for farseer to own set ups. i find that orgyrns used to counter waithguard is a good option but the 2 set up teams simply shut them down and often the eldar heroes get war-gear to own them like the entangling web on ws or the far-seer helm etc.

trying to get a manticore often backfires as ws can get his power-blades and take it down quick or simply charge in wg to blast it apart in 1 volley:(.

spotters are a good choice but often fail to do enough damage and all the guardians dps forces them off quick. Getting devils is useful as u can old reliable set ups and stoned elboy impressed me with 2 devils using double old reliable in a row to displace set ups. Is this the best option or not.

The main built i find eldar players get such as ben,phate and jek etc are 2-3 dire avengers and 2 set up teams with war-gear on heroes to punish 3 guard blobs and force u to get spotters.

Whats the best choice 2 or more sents set up teams or devils with spotters?

I'm very tempted to ask for a debuff on d cannons. Their damage accuracy and singularity are mad especially vs guard. I often simply try to outflank but if the eldar players has preserved set ups and got wg and a fire prism with d cannons in tier 3 im unsure what to get. A bane-blade is silly as the volleys from wg, d cannons and fire prisms all focused on it rip it apart plus the eldar nuke owns BB's.

So whats the best option. i thinking lord general Armour and commissar war-gear are important but whats units do i get to get the best investment?

Any ideas are welcome cheers :D

I can very much sympathize with this sentiment. Wraithguard basically own every unit on the IG roster except Ogryns but that's assuming you'll ever get them in melee with them.

D-cannons are very much in the same vein but arrive much later on the battlefield. Any tips on dealing with this as Inq would be great.
