| CWE can reroll once per turn. Could that be it? | |

Not sure how that qualifies as "ours". | |

- I know it might be heresy, but I have a tough time winning with Dark Eldar alone. Quite lately, I've been dipping a lot into Wraiths from CWE. I find that a raider / tauntalus is the perfect delivery mechanism for our slow and lumber CWE brothers. Couple wraith staying power (I prefer Ghost Axes), with our ability to move troops 30" in a turn, it makes for a deadly combination. I've fought against the new Space Marine list, with all the free transports) and smushed him.
Use our CWE brothers as sacrificial quasi-meatshields, so we can do what we do best; fire a crap ton of weapons and hope not to be blown up. The Point is Power Creep, its just keeps going up and up, And forcing me to Play a Power Creep book with my DE (CWE) just to stand a chance is why Im done with them for now. and 1 Unit of Wraith would do 1 thing and get shot up with Grav-guns, 1 unit shooting them would kill them. Also Reroll Jink DA bikes are Insanely good. Have you guys played the DA new book yet? I played it a couple times the other night..... In a Way for Us its worst than SM new book. _________________ New to Blogging, just starting https://maddpaint.blogspot.com/

| We have the least options in the game for dealing with cover saves, and the few we get are lackluster at best. Rerollable 2+ cover saves break us given that we suck at melee as well | |

| They don't. Had the pleasure to play against most of the new craziness and I never felt overwhelmed. When I lost it was due to mistakes on my side
Just had a tournament this weekend with a centstar, a battle company and dark angels bike spam. | |

Haven't you heard? We *are* the slaves now. Hence why our codex is Eldar: Taxi Service. | |

| Different meta Non competitive gameplay Underwhelming opponents
There are a lot of reasons why experience can differ. | |

Huh? How so? Grotesques, Talos, Incubi (yeah I said it!) are all perfectly valid assault units _________________ Objective Secured - Western Australia's Premier 40k Event Organisers and Website OBJECTIVE SECURED

| Well, I play in south Germany and basically just on tournaments. Superheavies are not allowed besides the imperial knight. Also unrestricted D and invisibility.
We are short on flyrant spam but besides that most ahole lists are there; Decurion, scatter bikes spam, grav spam, screamerstar, draigo cent star, battle company, dark angel bike spam (all rerollable jinks... Seriously who came up with that crap? ) and of course tau.
I usually play 2/3 dark eldar and 1/3 craftworld. | |

| @Xalopec what did you take? I'd like to see that battle reports. How did you cope with the cheese? | |

Mystery solved. You are using Eldar to compensate. | |

| 33 % is hardly a single drop. Except there are only 3 drops. Then it is. | |

Lol. Racist.  I know, right. It would be like saying that a pint that's 2/3 beer and 1/3 cyanide is contaminated with cyanide. What rubbish. On an unrelated note, would anyone like a drink? | |

| If it were 2/3 DE and 1/3 Harlies would it change much? That filthy contamination thingy? _________________ The Dance of Death begins - embraces, caresses, and kisses, The Harlequin loves you as you fall over in pieces!

All of the mentioned "problem armies" are standalone. | |
