Imperial Guard Vs. Eldar Warhammer 40,000 Battle Report

[theeyeofsauron1]

how come every eldar army i see is made up of fast attack?

[doggydude227]

@theeyeofsauron1 because the eldar are troops try to be fast so enemy tanks can't catch em!

[warhammermaster12311]

@theeyeofsauron1 mine include 0 fast attack but the minimum movement of my army moving at full speed is 24"

[BeTheBe5t]

@theeyeofsauron1 eldar are a fast army. footdar is rarely used and doesnt really work. jetbike lists with grav tanks prisms and warp spiders are the best build for eldar. a friend of mine used this unit against me once, it was: farseer, doom/fortune, stones and runes of warding, spear and jetbike. 10 warlock guys on jetbikes with him, all with spears, 1 enhance, 1 embolden, 8 destructors. it was unstoppable, o matter what i hit it with it just kept coming.

[iknowthepiecesfit88]

haha the eldar player is the man.

[deone67]

catachans are awsome XD

[legokid65]

Only way Imperial guard can beat Eldar is if you have enough infantry

[Anon2151]

I'd love to get into warhammer 40k table top. Is there still any sort of competitive scene? Do I just have to know where to look?

[SMCB285]

@Anon2151 Sorry for replying to an old comment here.

Yeah, its still pretty popular. There's these shops called 'GAmes workshop' That host 40k and Fantasy games all the time. Go onto there website and you shoud find the nearest workshop location. Hope this helped!

[ThePrincessBoots]

I don't understand anything I just watched.

[goldcommander1]

What was his kill streak??

[moonlust2100]

I love it when the eldar win !!! :D :P

[freddieutube1]

Wow, 15 to 3. I honestly thought you were going to lose

[timothy080898]

it sounds like phil from dude weres my mount

[monstermorrill]

so i've watched a cou[le of your vids and don't know the eldar too well...which craftworld are yours? or did you make the scheme yourself?

[SuperJohnthebomb]

@monstermorrill he has eldar from the saimhann craftworld

[TheFirePrism]

Wow. The seer council Owned. Do i get jetbike parts if i buy the serr council or do i have to model my own.

[War40kCSM]

Try nurgle bickers :) there a bitch to kill

[deone67]

huh? veterans can deep strike???? how?????

[78bobal]

@deone67 veterans can b eloaded u into valkeries and valkeries deepstrike

[78bobal]

@78bobal or they were storm troopers not vets

[Dragenenh]

Im gonna run 2 or 3 basilisk's with my Imperial Gaurd army.

[warhammermaster12311]

@Dragenenh im gonna do a vostrayan guard army, 3 exterminators a banewolf 3 veteran squads in chimeras and a command squad in chimera

[RandlesBear]

How many points is your force?

[nickdoof]

Your army is sick.

[epidemiedi]

Why do u don´t use Shining spears

[chetdaye]

im a die hard... fantasy player.. its way more startegic then 40 k,... however im getting into 40 k... and was probally gonna go with imperial guards... are they as good as they look

[Dan942942942]

@chetdaye if u are still thinking about getting guard i havnt got any personally but i play my friend who has them and he beats me every time so they are realy good i would recomend i h8 play against them

[arktheball]

@chetdaye Depends on what you mean by stratagy brother :) There is the same sense of tactics in 40k, but rather than rank and file you have free moving squads

[MrEmoguy1000]

OMG Seers on Penis Bikes!

[jonathanburr89]

space smurfs!!!

[davidbeast123]

I much prefer Griffons to basalisks, purely because of their shorter minimum range and with so many armys that can get within 36'' in turn 2 i feel that its become obsolete

[Beau74]

You play Catachans and field 6 tanks but hardly any infantry? That doesn't seem right.

[BOBSAGATification]

lol i use my catachians as meat shields 

[swatghy]

i have a 1500 point guard i have no bascalisk

[Spjungen]

Do you ever lose?

[munkeytoto]

Fire Prisms > Vypers.!

[haloister123]

you can play guard without using a basilisk because the Vanquisher is so much better! strength 10 ap 1 cannon whooooo

[EmoKat777]

im a IG player i was fighting blood ravens and i fired my basilisk and hit his razorback got a 4 witch hit then a 5 for pen then 6 for explodes and i killed 7 mariens with that explotion....it was great

[SockSaver]

seer council own but saimhann please give them tactics as I can't choose between mounted or footsloggers

[epidemiedi]

@SockSaver I`d choose mounted

[oscar13r13]

it's fun to look at people play warhammer but im to stupid for play it my self

[Hster007]

guard rule (although i do have some eldar)

[annoyingryan1220419]

You all do realize this game was played before the new guard codex came out?

[MidnighWolf]

Catachans, the only real men in the universe!

[LtTrenz]

You never have a Hydra Flak Tank when you need one... lol

[rotciv46]

They need to fix the kill points, it should go by how many points worth of units you lost, not how many squads you lose bc IG uses so many squads its not even funny. Partially why i switched from guard to eldar

[Captan200]

only till a chaos space marines or orks come and rip your head clean off than you just bird feed

[Krvaak]

We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our blood, we kill for honor, we are the might of the Imperium, we are the Space marines!!!

[MrGrizzlez]

hey (love your movies your so tactical watched hundreds and seen you lose only one) However i am starting a ork army now but i have been told you can get warhammer of some places online for like 20% cheaper than the orignal store would you know anything about this?

[MrGrimmv2]

@MrGrizzlez If you still want to know about this (Its been like a year) ebay has some nice painted figures for really cheap if your a good bider. Like i've seen 20 nicely painted Khrone Bezerkers and Kharn the Betrayer in a package for 35 US. It isn't 20% cheaper more like.....alot.

[CatElectronics1337]

@MrGrizzlez amazon

[BeTheBe5t]

@MrGrizzlez wayland games. its 30% off retail price. google them :D

[CoD4Mike]

?? Hydra ?? i didnt see any *5*

[TGTAP]

The Imperial Guard player is really bad. Never take a Basilisk against fast moving armies like Elday or Tyranids. Always take 3 Leman Russes. Also there's no need for the Chimera's. Just wasted points. Spend the 160 or so points from the Chimera's on something good such as a valykrie

[slamer2000]

This is a board game right? Whats the name of it??

[InternetIncarnate]

it is called Warhammer 40,000. its a futuristic universe where different factions of alien species, including humans, fight each other in armies. The company that owns the miniatures and story is called Games Workshop.

[slamer2000]

@InternetIncarnate I know about the whole warhammer 40,000 game. I have it! I'm asking whats the name of the board game. Is it even a game or did they just buy minatures to play with and make their own game.

[InternetIncarnate]

ooooh right i get you. my bad.

[Krvaak]

Warhammer 40k

[annoyingryan1220419]

3:55  lol fail

[LearnMeHowWarhammer]

iv found the manticore to be beter than the bassilisk on average

[myhres2000]

Imperial Guard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mkolaj]

Can you play in a game Eldar vs. Eldar?

[FitzyRedStrat]

of course u can play whatever u want

[ForbiddenJake]

@mkolaj yes

[eldardude12]

Is this a good army list

1)farseer

2)battleforce

3)10 strong ranger squad

4)10 strong howling banshee squad

5)10 strong striking scorpions squad

6)10 strong warp spider squad

7)eldar fire prism

[mikeV37]

@eldardude12

you should get some more dire avengers, if you haven't already. 5 just doesn't cut it.

[Herpkid56]

i forgot wat the name of the song is!can someone plz tell me??? appreciate it X)

[TheWroth]

Its called "Escape" by craig armstrong

[Jensoffer]

I'v never liked eldar, they are to cheese and OP.

[yakka5]

the reverse colours on some of your jetbikes looks pretty cool. the black with the red stripe.

[alfthebest101]

after he failed the leadership test why did you throw dice

[falco1663]

@alfthebest101 when a unit runs from combat, the other unit can run them down and destroy them. this is done by rolling a die and adding your initiative to your role- if you try to run them down and role higher (with added initiative) there unit is destroyed and removed from the game.

[alfthebest101]

@falco1663 ohh ok thxs

[Sinanthir]

Sm's are always a sound choice...(Reason being) there really easy 2 play & I mean all of the humans are easy 2 play...but I've always been with the Xenos from the beginning....Eldar Ftw...

[JeremiahLiend]

Ultramarines are the badasses of the galaxy. To claim they have inferior tactics is a decleration of ignorance. Particularly with 5th ed combat tactics. All hail the God Emperor.

[Sinanthir]

No insult intended at all, but if I had 2 choose 2 space marine chapters 1st would be Space wolves 'cause they'll beat the crap out of an Ultramarine...2nd Dark Angels 'cause they're just better then everyone else lol...Ultramarines are just so plain........Boring.......gosh­......

[JeremiahLiend]

Bah. The Ultramarines have more units than any of those chapters combined. I'll put Marneus Calgar and his honor guard up against any amount of Space Wolves you can throw at me. Librarian Tigerious? Chaplain Cassius? Seargent Tellion? BROTHER CHRONUS!? I don't care what sort of ravenwing nonsense you throw at me, Chronus in a Land Raider? BS 5, ignores shaken and stunned? Forget about it.

[blackattack100]

Errr, new space wolves codex.

Read it

[JeremiahLiend]

I will do that. My buddy keeps telling me that nothing beats the blood claws. I am in terror of the Tyranids codex. Abject terror. They say that they halved the cost for hormagaunts. You know, the creatures that never die and just keep coming on the freaking board? Thank heavens I serve the God Emperor.

[blackattack100]

Too both above, Glood claws are easily countered by a bigass demonprince :D

But their lords are epic.

Tyranids should always be feared.

I am in sheer awe of genestealers being everywhere

[LearnMeHowWarhammer]

what does that have to do with my comment?

[blackattack100]

Just talking about how some cheez from the codex can be overruled by other cheez :D

[LearnMeHowWarhammer]

lol yep, you just have to try to out cheez the opponent

[arktheball]

@JeremiahLiend Hahah I will put logan grimnar, arjac rockfist and a squad of logans wolf guard agains marneus calgar and his honour guard any day of the week.

[Joelsum24]

im starting and i cant decide between space marines and eldar, what should i get..?

[jmooney91]

Space marines are the easier army to play

Eldar are very difficult to play due to their lack of armour and toughness

Although... Eldar are a lot cooler and can be a VERY deadly army if you can work out what to do

[th1nkman]

I think this is fair to say. When GW revises the armies they probably take two things into consideration: ProCon balancing, and playability

Obviously an army like Space Marines and Necrons are intended for beginner players, or for players who prefer to rove over the battle field blowing up every thing.

Meanwhile, Ta'u and Eldar are intended for more experienced players as their "physical" values are less, but they have more potential. The strength is in the planning.

[Fazzzy38]

Eldar. Lets just b honest space marines are overrated and require no tactics at all. You just charge then shoot. And their 3+ armour save ensures nothing will happen to them. Eldar are alot cooler and can just destroy anyone (With the right equipment).Such as the bright lance which turns all Armoured vehicles with armour of 12 or over to 12. Land raiders cry to them.

[FitzyRedStrat]

i had the same problem recently but I went with eldar due to their cool looks and backstory.

[Darkvoidof40k]

That's your choice. Eldar are expensive, specialised. But Space Marines are very adaptable, very tough and very awesome. I tried to take a break from my SM's with Tau, Chaos Marines, Eldar, TWO seperate SM armies, Catachan IG, but I just went back to my original force!

[KittyRokher]

the map is a bit too small to be using a basilisk in my opinion. for jungle terrain like that, i usually pull out my army of hundreds of "disposable" troops

[Erdrick60]

AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR FOR THEY ARE MY SPACE MARINES ! SM ftw ~!

[kevinmcd28]

yeah anilhation sucks for guard, i just played a tau guy and lost 14-4, these game types are no good for us.

i <3 catachan xD

[KittyRokher]

you <3 (testicles) catachan? why would anyone want to rub their testicles on a dirty smelly catachan guy? lol

[kevinmcd28]

b/c thier muscles have a 5+ armor save little bitch

[KittyRokher]

so if a guy with huge muscles walked into a room that you were in and said "my muscles have a 5+ armor save" you would whip out your scrotum and/or penis, then begin sensually rubbing them on his body? don't talk to me queer-mo

[kevinmcd28]

wow your a dueshebag

[th1nkman]

I don't know about you two, but I definitely would!!! Oh goodness :3

[pistolpete0500]

lol the imperial guard are the best. How much points was this?

[tardedZnerfZgun]

lol jawaballs pwns

[Itgiger]

I detest catachan Dx

[habudabuda]

lol, are there any non-bikers in that army?

pure hover vehicles lol

[Dabblebla345]

If he would have had cadian you wouldnt hhave stould a chance

[Dabblebla345]

Yo mama

[VG92]

damn, those eldar vehicles are awesome

[MrSwedishguy]

how manny points the imperial guard army got?

[chriso119]

Fritz how big is your seer counsil and what is the point cost for it?

[Kimatoo]

hey fritz could bobby write me a catachan list for the new codex

[arterialshadow]

Hey guys. I'm trying to help out my friend by getting a few Guard strategies. He uses 2 troop choices. 3 elite choices. A basilisk and a Chimera Transport. Not sure if he has any other vehicles. He also has Comissar Yarich and a command squad. He seems to always get creamed when I play against him or whenever anyone else does. Anyone have any tips? Any ideas of what other units/vehicles he should get? He uses more than what I said, that's all I can remember though. Thanks

[m4tty4england]

well more troop squads and lemen russes if a good start dont bother mush with sentinels im not a guard player but from what I can see they aint worth it

[habudabuda]

lol that basilisk must be a total firemagnet, and it needs to be on the front lines :P

Get an ordnance weapon tank, something with high Str. and low AP like a demolisher

[Goldi42]

i hate annihilate (also a guard player)

with every hq-troop i lose 2 points, with the accompanying infantry-platoon another 2 (160 points infantry-platoon)

thats so unfair considering that its worth 1 killpoint of space marines! (170 points troop with flamer+rpg)

[manicmike1293]

The bassie shot shouldve only scattered 4 inches, cause it seemed like the bassie had line of sight on the Seer Council, as far as i can tell

[elronman]

eldar ftw

[sgtneos]

does it atually hold 6 troops?

get back 2 me soon plz as i am gettin the £50 set

[cheezemon13]

i saw a bassy, a demolisher, a battle tank, and a heavy weap. squad for heavy support.  was the heavy weapons squad something else?

[Sorrowsky]

the heavy weapon squad can be an anti tank or anti personal units that come with the HQ command squad

[JSmith62277]

Ur constant moving of the camera is sooo annoying for ADD people! lol

[sgtneos]

does the eldar falcon realy hold up 2 5 troops?

[169FLOZ]

6 troops

[xzeno118779]

great keep it up

[eveplayer12]

rambo wanabe's lol

[XboxKris221]

Nice Battle Report Keep Them Coming :D

[WayOfSaimHann]

dagangsta70 = Banstick!

[dineablade]

@WayOfSaimHann what did he do?

[battleman456]

lol rambo wantabees

[johnkerry7]

kill points should only count for the whole platoon...not just the 10 man unit... :(

[Kimatoo]

[macmoontrotter]

[BSpanda5]

[Glizzy6d]

[OrkyMayhem]

[1T2A3U]

[ruttman15]

Jawaballs really doesnt want people to see his face.

[jawaballs]

You gotta come play me to see me. :)

[JibbyJabby123]

I WANNA SEE JAWABALLS WE NEVER GET TO :(

[jonaslep]

Balanced or infantry-heavy Guard auto-lose Kill Point missions. All those easy-to-kill units!

[masterowen45]

isn't scatter for ordance 2d6-balistic skill

nice battle 5/5

[Itgiger]

yep

[szlachcic22]

"isn't scatter for ordance 2d6-balistic skill"

Not if you are out of line of sight, then it is always 2d6 scatter. It looked like his basilisk was behind cover so I am assuming it was out of LOS.

Anyways, nice win Fritz, I really love your army. When the new Dark Eldar come out I may be forced to make an evil version of your Saim Hann army. It was too bad for the IG player, but I have heard that in the new codex there is supposedly a way for guard to deal with kill points better.

[WayOfSaimHann]

My bud Bobby is a great player but IG + kill points are broken- GW really needs to fix this ASAP. New codex, true, but how long to 'guard players get that?

[1cathar]

your completely right, and at the back of the ig codex theres this entrie that shows all of these different ig armyes like death korps of kreig, cadians, cachacans do those accually count? are you alloud to use them?

[ntfh]

You are allowed to use anything in the current IG codex as long as no stipulations in rules you choose conflict with other rulesets used in your army. The custom doctrine system and the pre-fab doctrine sets work, it jsut takes the right kind of player. like some ork players jsut can't convert to marines. OR tau players who can't convert to guard.

[szlachcic22]

"New codex, true, but how long to 'guard players get that?"

Last rumor I saw placed it around April or so as it is the next 40k codex coming out.

[RuckaInc]

It is comming out March. I can't wait to see what they do with my army...

[haloister123]

@WayOfSaimHann the new codex for guard yum yum yum i eat up anything with that hydra tank
