Eldar Battle Tactics Farseer

[procerusgigas]

I disagree on RoWitnessing, they increase your chance of triggering perils and with LD 10 it's not necessary, RoWarding is always a must, it automatically shuts down enemy psykers.(I play a lot against SW)

[drewsuschrist]

@procerusgigas my GK opponent HATES HATES HATES runes of warding.

[procerusgigas]

@drewsuschrist Lol, ever charged paladins with wraithlord and than see them die due to force weapon psychic test? =) Hilarious! Runes of warding FTW! Btw. I don't remember failing any psychic test with farseer ever so Imho, you don't need them with LD 10. But it's your call...

[drewsuschrist]

@procerusgigas But I disagree with your Witnessing reasoning. It pretty much guarantees your power will be successful, doesn't increase PotW ThAT much seeing as you have rune armour AND a ghosthelm.

[ElitexPoPShoT]

so if i give wave serpant star engines i can get strength 14 hit so pen anything on 2+

[makakooos]

@ElitexPoPShoT as long as you can have stats between 0-10, I believe you can´t go over 10 on S with any weapon... but just guessing, I do not have my rules right now here.

[danielclaw13]

O shit he is right page 50.

[supermaksas]

More Eldar tactics,MORE Eldar TACTICS!Pretty please.

[DESPOILER101]

I would normally put minimal upgrades on a viper, give them Star Engines and use them as kamikaze rammers with Eldrad, if you set up first then they set up, you can tailor where your viper goes to whatever you want to ram and blow up or damage, worth it against land raiders when you're moving 36" as it gives you a strength 12 ram (no, it doesn't say up to strength 10 in the rules, I checked) :P

[Silverws69]

Best combination ever: Wave serpent w/ holofields, 10 Dire Avengers w/ exarch with extra gun and bladestorm and defend, Farseer with doom and guide. drop them off near your opponents most dangerous unit, guide the DA's, doom the enemy and anything (besides vehicles) will die. Terminators will at least lose 5 guys. swarmlords with retinue hate this.

[Sebastian360kid]

lol yer you should only take 2 powers unless you have eldrad

[Lex0310]

@viktorhat

Yes he can ^^. All the powers (except Mindwars) dont need line of sight.... so you can cast from a vehicle ^^

[kamillimak1996]

lets make more Eldar Battle Tactics X , please

example for Striking Scorpions or any of fast atack units.

[trey1122334]

i hope i never end up like this.

[BeTheBe5t]

@trey1122334 end up like what?

[speedyfreek15]

I love using mind war on carnifexes with their low leadership their heads just pop

[P3nismongrel]

dude this makes so much sense, ima think bout wat im doing now, i have eldritch and he rapes, but should i make him a far seer when im playing only around 1000 point games?

[FrankieFJA]

I actually give my farseer 3 powers, Fortune, Guide and Doom. It just helps when things get a little sticky, but I get what he means.

[raegaldorn]

Wolverines Brother :) love the eldar vids though I am still painting my army - I agree with wsarebeast the music is a bit much - been trying to find some usefull vids but everyone tends to stick a metal track over the top or loads fo feedback :(

[ElavionPL]

In bigger battles you can take two farseers on jetbikes with Eldrich Storms, jump to enemy vehicles with high front armour value (predators, leman russes) rotate them and take down by Scatter Lasers or something like that.

[loveschocolate100]

What farseer was that I have not seen it befor

[19Marvin96]

can you make a battle tactics x about rangers and pathfinders???

[wsarebeast]

please take the music off.. its so annoying lol

[Haloister]

I got a combo for killin termeis dire avengers guide doom and have them use bladestorm what can survive that

[BLOODKINGbro]

farseer guide+doom and DireAvenger blade storm works famosly to mow down pertty much all infantry.

[toothythekid]

@BLOODKINGbro whats better is doing that with 20 gaurdians and its cheap

[BLOODKINGbro]

@toothythekid thats a lot of dices rolls with worse odds; just cuase u can field more chaeper isnt good. and that wastes more slots.

[toothythekid]

@BLOODKINGbro ya but you can have 20 in a squad

[Telepi92]

why is a warlock in the background ?

[jamesravanal40]

@Telepi92 its a farseer

[Telepi92]

@jamesravanal40 yeah you might be right warlocks use different weapon , but i 'm curious why it is male , i mean most of the far seer are female

[BLOODKINGbro]

@Telepi92 yea in the fluff most female eldars are more psychily gifted then males. tho i think its pimp to mix chest peices, after all who would't like a hot swooping falcan exarh with big breasts? just like the mythic vykires.

[jamesravanal40]

@Telepi92 that could be spiritseers

[Telepi92]

@jamesravanal40 don't make it more complicated :)

[samuelwarhammer40k]

I JUST GOT A ELDAR BATTLE FORCE today can someone help me and tell me wat i should get next plz help anyone

[Tamperkele]

@samuelwarhammer40k

Fire Dragons and more Wave Serpents. Those are the only good units in the Codex at the moment.

[toothythekid]

@samuelwarhammer40k  farsseeer cuz yu need an hq and lotz of nutha battle force

[swatghy]

joes the man hes right about eldar

[jc55]

lol sexy curves yeaa preach that shit

[REAPER3382]

ok. 2 wraithlords 1 autarch with fusion gun. 20 guardians. 5 warp spiders. is that good?

[feralx]

wow try and say more then 3 words before splicing... you are

1 . to stupid to remeber more then a few words at a time or

2 . your camera man is an idiot and thinks it looks cool when you jump from one side of the screen to the other..

im going to go throw up now ... an Asian who sucks at making/editing videos ....hmm must be only slightly Asian with a large mix of retard

[spannerNspoon]

@feralx

if you don't like it then fuck of. Its that simple =)

[doughboy7878]

@feralx at least he knows what he is talking about.

[TheDedRedHed]

@feralx Lol dude, i think you're taking it way too seriously, he does it for effect

[superdooperseb12341]

i love you joe im 22 and my name is christina i saw you in to field a daemon prince and i want you

[REAPER3382]

@superdooperseb12341 AHAHAHAHA really? well thats.. cool

[haloister123]

yeah i have a sorceror i have doom bolt with warptime and lash of submission OHH i almost forgot GIFTS OF CHAOS

[SockSaver]

use mind war on terminators

no saves

the best part of termies gone

[McRandomMan]

I throw my Farseer equiped with doom, fortune and spirit stones in a squad of harlequins with HKs and a shadowseer.

YOU DO THE MATH.

[Pinky117x]

What I do with my farseer is put him in with a squad of dire avengers in a wave serpants I cast guide so i can re roll misses were talking about 33 shots with reroll to hit

[Warhammer40kJunkie]

If someone is going to get a farseer they should just get Eldard Ulthran instead. gets three pshycic powers a urn an use the same power twice and has all the upgrades.Also kicks ass in close combat with his staff.

[Altier215]

i say that eldrad and and an additional farseer is what eery army should have. this is because of eldrads abbility to relocate your guys. i proxyed him in a game and i had my friends eldar. i put 2 fire prisms out to one side of the board and the rest of my army packed and ready to attack him, it was annihalation. my opponent is a black templars player. he has 2 landraider crusaders, both of which are set to after the prisms. they are packing powerfist terminators. i relocated the prisms.eldrad.

[atticus2009]

I've got 150 bucks to spend on eldar what should i get?

ive got a

avatar, farseer and 6 warlocks, 15 pathfinders, ten banshees, 8 striking scorpions 10 harlequins 3 shining spears, 5 warp spiders a fire prism and a wraithlord

[damekshopproductions]

@atticus2009

id recommend guardians and dire avengers and maybe some jetbikes.

[Inmemorial]

Buy some tanks. Serpents or falcons and maybe guardians or dire avengers?

[Warhammer40kJunkie]

wouldn't get any guardians. you definitely need transports.

[McRandomMan]

dire avengers or guardian jet bikes you got no troops =)

[Teivel2]

@atticus2009

Pathfinders are great for sitting on your objectives.

You seem commited to foot eldar, mobility isn't going to mesh with the harlequinks and wraith lord and spiders and avatar.

Fill out your squads a bit more so that you're not giving away kill points for three point squads. Run your shees behind your other CC specialists for cover. Go with a second wraith lord or fireprism if you want to fill out heavy support. Five more pathfinders would give you two full troop choices..

[damekshopproductions]

A really good tactic would be to use dire avengers with bladestorm and have your farseer use guide and doom 9guide on the avengers and doom on the enemy) `cause then you re roll all misses and failed wound rolls

[haznmitch]

Im thinking of starting a eldar army and i really dont know much about them. can anyone point me in the right direction of where to go?

[yamashitajared2]

read the codex, it has good background info

[haznmitch]

ok one more thing, how much range does doom have?

[mortuus8]

guide on a dark reaper unit, with the exarch holding crackshot: re roll all failed hits and ignore cover saves

then the rest of the unit: 8 shots that re roll to hit and to wound at strength 4 (AP 3 i think?) how can that NOT be good?

[Knight1992Azure]

the dark reapers own, the first time i played with them i was blown away by the damage they can do to heavy armored troupes like space marines!

[Commandos12]

hmm i like the role of the farseer.

im generally not a fan of uber-dmg organic units

but huge tanks are really cool :3

[cadiansftw05]

Try using a jetbike "Seer Council". Have 2 Farseers, one with jetbike, spirit stones, runes of warding, doom and fortune. And the other one with jetbike, spirit stones, guide and mind war. or guide, mind war and doom. Then have 4 warlocks with jetbikes, singing spears, 4 destructor spells, 4 warlocks with witchblades and 1 emblolden, 1 enhance and 2 destructor. This unit is crazy. You take out vehicles extremely easily and you take out any unit in the game with complete easy in hand to hand.

[clearasil11]

I usually give him Doom, Runes of Witnessing and a Singing Spear if I play small games, like 1250 or under. At higher points I add him Spirit Stones and Guide. Against my buddys Orks, Doom+Eldritch Storm = happy me

[clearasil11]

Eldar are a finesse army. You ring around the roses, shoot 'em up and finish them with close combat units. Mostly, the right unit at the right place at the right time wins

[deedevil63]

i usually just go with guide, sit my farseer back with a decked out reapers unit, watch the bodies pile up

[zitto5]

I remember using mind war against carnifex, who was treathening my banshees. got a 6 and my opponent a 1, meaning no more carnifex! Huzzah! it wasn't that bad that my d-cannon instantly killed the other carnifex either...

[Sinanthir]

.....I only play w/ Eldrad Ulthran......all other Farseers are pathetic........

[werewolf9205]

screw eldrad my farseer could be just as powerful. haha eldrad's cool i just prefer my own farseer we've been through too much.

[jinzo1171]

doom + bladestorm = me =D foe -_-

[ceaser341]

try guiding it for extra fun!

[thefuzzIRL]

if joe spiked his hair he would loo like wolverine

[EcllipsE2510]

your right :-D

[pkmlover96]

@thefuzzIRL I KNOW RIGHT!

[OnuMatoran]

Honestly, I find only Doom and Guide to be useful for Farseers. Eldritch storm is decent, but banking on Pinning isn't going to work. Doom, Guide, and Spirit Stones are all I take on Farseers. Cheap, cheerful and supportive.

[Ghettonerd101]

joes a midget fagget

[hhhhoolllliiu]

can you post a video on what is in your army

[xXLibertyPrimeXx]

You shud do one on wraithlords and wriathguards =)

[snapshotzs]

yeh do wraithgaurds

[frankpaola]

im new to 40K...when in your or your opponent's turn can you use the farseer's power?

[jfrulez1]

Reply to frankpaola from Jfrulez1.

-To cast support spells (as in, spells like Fortune, Guide, and Doom) you have to cast them at the start of the Eldar turn. For offensive spells like Mind War or Eldritch Storm, you cast them during your shooting phase.

[thevampiredio]

great vid dude!

should i use a normal farseer or Eldrad? big E has toughness 4 and 3 spells!

[jfrulez1]

Eldrad is a really good model. So if you want, you could get a Farseer and Eldrad at once. Or if you're defensive, Eldrad only plus Yriel.

[thevampiredio]

if playing defensive. wouldnt it be better to have avatar?

[jfrulez1]

Reply to thevampiredio.

I was talking about the Farseer choices. But yes if you're defensive, Avatar is a must.

[dled090]

It's a good buy in higher point games 1500+ points, 60 points gets you higher stats, a power weapon wounding on a 2 plus, and multiple abilities a turn Plus can let you re-deploy. SMall games though, 210 points is a steep steep price for a char that can be instant killed , you lose a 5th of your army in a shot.

[JFAC4LIFE]

im pretty sure witchblades are not power weapons...

[dled090]

Only eldrad's witch weapon is a power weapon, the downside on the charge he gets a whole 3 attacks.

[DecepticonFury]

is anyone doing Dark Eldar Tactics?

[ChaoticDevil666]

Good battle Tactic. I prefer the super-cheese of Fortun on the Avatar. In all respects he can take out any 1 of the 4 Chaos Gods if hes fortuned. I prefer to take 3 powers, Guide and Doom and Mind War, for the head exploding, eye popping great fun :D I had a friend chuck in his super-cheese Heroic Senior officer with ever thing he can have... I blew off his head with mind war first try. So having that "back Up" power isnt all that bad, just means he's more expensive, but meh.

[powerofdestiny]

he did, what's wrong with saying 'sexy curves'?

[jankir93]

i love the wet pits :D

[MagicJuggler]

Eldritch Storm isn't useful so much for the damage (which frankly is not that great, for if you want large blasts, use Swooping Hawks or Fire Prisms). It "can" be used for messing up vehicle orientation but its fickle at best.

Doom is good though. One of the problems with guide is the 6" range limitation; while not so much an issue if used on units like Dark Reapers or War Walkers, it negates the mobility of Vypers leading to inefficiency. Doom has better range, and benefits multiple units.

[usernamesunavilable]

Eldritch Storm is good if you use it with Doom... that way you get the rerolls, it is actually better than a str 4 blast... except against toughness 7 units... or anything with an armour value.

Guide can still be used on Vypers, especially if you throw a Shuriken Cannon on the front, and only move them 6" to shoot both weapons. Or put the Farseer on a Jetbike. ;)

[MagicJuggler]

Actually, against toughness 5 units, S4 is better than S3 rerollable due to mathhammer. The problem is that with Guide and Vypers that because of the insanely short range on Guide, you would have to keep the Vypers at close-range, which necessitates the Jetbike Warlock. Of course, this is not possible if you're running something like an Eldrad list. Also, if you're making Vypers to move only 6", you might as well get War Walkers instead.

[usernamesunavilable]

I see what you are saying. And yes War Walkers are a better choice, although I like the mobility and the survivability of Vypers with Holo-fields. Plus I didn't get into War Walkers until fairly recently.

And yes, I see what you are saying with the toughness 5... I just did the math on toughness 4... that's usually all I ever see ;) But you will have to admit that it has better odds on every other toughness than 5 and 7 ;)

[laffytaffy721]

hey pirate ninja its not really an insructional video basically their just telling you what they beileve you should do with an army not DO THIS OR YOU LOSE they just think this is a good way to use your army

[usernamesunavilable]

I don't think pirate ninja was commenting on the content of the video, just the editing. And I totally appreciate his comment, it gives me something to build on in later installments ;)

[BeTheBe5t]

nice side burns XD

[IMBETTERTHENALLU]

Yo, these videos are nice, helpful and informative. So if your going to bitch about them, then don't watch.

[makasorro33]

i think i might start elder

[nordicberserk]

Can you make a IG or Ork Tactica?

[mlehbleh22]

Sexy curves O_o?

[psyhless]

wtb warlock tactics X

[Pirateninja63]

I hate the way you edit your videos the way they skip around. can you guys not speak for more that 3 seconds at a time?

[Pkfreak001]

stfu dude its a video get over it

[colecoffrothFB]

everyone eits like that r tard

[Pirateninja63]

First off i'd like to say i thought it was a good video. my point simply is that i think its a poor editing style for an instructional video.

[Deathofblades]

Why didn't you just say "in my own opinion."

[usernamesunavilable]

By saying "I hate" implies that it is a subjective opinion that he has. Adding that it is his opinion is actually redundant, but I do appreciate everybody that came to defend me. I just want to let you know that I am still fairly new to the video making process... and I tend to ramble a lot... so Dave edits me to keep me on track ;) I'm sure I will get better though... I think I can almost speak for 4 seconds in a row now ;) Thanks for the comment though.

[IMBETTERTHENALLU]

Cause it is obviously implied.

[Urukhai12345]

haha wannabe

[archvile2000000]

Boo nasty pit stains. Hooray beer!

[Keeperofthecards]

Wow he looks a lot like Mr.Hyde from LXG.

[Milkymalk]

A Seer Council with jetbikes, fortune and guide cast on themselves each turn, doom an whatever they are going to attack, and a few of those flame template psychic powers... a fast unit that will kill ANYTHING and survive enough firepower to wipe out whole squads of aspect warriors. Try it, you'll love it. Just don't let them get caught by massive blast weapons like demolishers or the like. Although they will even survive that...

[Ashwatzi]

Here's watcha do-

Create seer council, have at least 3 warlocks. Farseer with Spirit Stones, doom, and fortune. Put them near Dire Avengers with bladestorm- That's a massacre

[irongollem]

Why not cheap out on the warlocks and put the seer inside the unit of avengers?

[Ashwatzi]

With warlocks, you can have 5+ cover save, destructor (great for hordes IMO), rerollable leadership (i dont use it), and +1 to WS and initiative. For me when I play against orks, I use this tactic- destructor the beginning of the ork lines, then bladestorm. Also a unit of DA's with fortune and doom with an exarch and shimmershield and power weapon= death for ork hordes.

:)

[usernamesunavilable]

This is true... but combining the DA and a Farseer with Warlocks is a lot of points... hardly worth the Orks they would be taking out. In fact the Dire Avengers alone would be worth almost as much as 30 Ork boyz.

But I will talk about them in a later Eldar Battle Tactics X... and by that I mean Dire Avengers... and Warlocks ;)

[Ashwatzi]

maybe so but they can be hard to kill- they can pump out a lot of damage. use the seer council to support the DA's but also use destructor. also if the orks have their trukks the singing spears will do away with those. it works better in larger games

[usernamesunavilable]

I completely understand what you are saying... all I am saying is that you can send your entire army in to fight against 1 mob of boyz and that will do the trick too... it just isn't point effective.

[Ashwatzi]

I know, I'm just talking army composition as of now. 'Battle Tactics X' is a whole 'nother conversation

[WarlordChoco]

Farseer with guide, in a squad of Dark Reapers is one of my faverouite tactics :D

[40kJoey40k]

Yes! Finally, Eldar stuff!

[InvincibleEric]

Woot i agree! : D

[ThatWarhammerDude]

COOL!I dont have eldar but i watched the whole thing....you guys have to make one for chaos space marines!!!Cuz like there cool....

[gunnerpig]

lol tyranid intro , eldar tactics

[Massacratore92]

Some necron tactics...? *_*

[steelgear]

currently making plans for my next army and along with my choices of Orks and guard I am also considering eldar. This has offered some interesting insight.

[Redvexer]

Booo for eldar..

[slashingturtle]

nice

[xsmitty23x]

I'm diggin the mutton chops, Joe.

[firerayne23]

perfect! I have just bought a farseer squad and have been wondering how to use them effectively as a support role. Thanks

[spooterman64]

Some of the wepons they can take singing spear, witch blades.

Are those any use at all?

[whiplash308]

epicness, some good help for my hopeful future eldar army.

[bluetablelover]

Lol.....munch :)

[eldarfury]

yay!

[usernamesunavilable]

Tim you flatter me way too much ;) But thank you. And yes, if you have the points Eldrad is sick... although he is still sitting in his blister right now... The other one decided to use his legs and walk away during a tournament years ago.

And I made a mistake in this video (other than the one Dave caught for me... who knew he was an Eldar Fanatic as well), can you figure out what it is? :)

[nurgle117]

DO CHAOS

[ClanSkyre]

dont laugh at me"

[firemantimk]

Joe is one of the best 40K players I have ever met. Seriously, he is killa!

[o0SgtJack0o]

great video once again!

but Dave you should do a chaos tactics!, with ramndom shots of defilers!

[Cleric268]

dope vid!

Hey someone has to step up and represent the chaos gods!!

[nurgle117]

ya they should FOR THE DARK GODS

[BSpanda5]

It's JOE :D!

[werewolf9205]

woooh eldar love

[agent923]

to telll you the truth just take Eldrad

[R0nin519]

Eldrad should be banned since he DIED in the 13th Black Crusade.

[PenguinPainterz]

its called 40k, as in anytime in the 41st millenium, not terran date M41 999, the 13th black crusade say him die but its like M41 998, so there is still the better part of the time period to field him in, otherwise what would be the point of battle for macragge as it happened 270 years ago?

[zilioet]

i love useing guide on pathfinders and dooming the unit they will shoot at then assult that unit with my banshees.

[MagicalMangoes]

5th :P

[masterstephis]

1st view...HA! And my favs from when I used the eldar were DOOM and Fortune. Both were lifesavers

[gamerkid43]

oh my gaaaaaaaaaad

[unrealzombiekiller]

very good advice!

[unrealzombiekiller]

fist?
