HELP
@BeTheBe5t Hi there, just noticed your comment now - sorry for the late reply! Most Eldar armies include a Farseer as their HQ choice with at least the Doom power. Doom lets you reroll all wounds against a target. With STR 3 vs T 4, this means statistically you are actually better at wounding Marines than those Marines are at wounding you. With high Init, you can often decimate Space Marine units before they can go. Also, Scorpions are STR 4 b/c of their sword and Harlequins have Furious Charge.
what was the daemons player thinking, deep striking all the way in the back of the board then running at you?? it hurt me, being the daemon player that I am. Also, damn nice painting on the eldar!
@DiewithAvengence They do. Are you asking about the Falcon that was immobilized? Also, yes Fortune works from inside a vehicle though you still need to be in 6" of the target, measured from the hull.
if your daemons ALWAYS GO SECOND!
