Things just got official people

Just placed an order for the codex. (and only the codex).
I'm going to have to buy an army just so I can have Harlequins assaulting out of an open topped, fast transport right into the front of M_i_J's lines.

Everybody sing along!

hah. try it, old bean. Putting harleys in a transport is only gonna be your first newbie mistake with em...

[me_in_japan]

actually, ill be very interested to see if the Dark eldar dex harleys are identical to the current eldar dex harleys. If not, it could point the way to the future of the eldar dex. Or just cause lots of arguments. One or t'other...

EXACTLY the same.
Why is putting Harlies in a transport they can assault out of a mistake exactly? I can see why you wouldnt put them in a falcon or wave serpent.

you have much to learn, young padawan...

You're just jealous that your lot can't do it

BTW Who quotes from the Prequels?

Turn 1, Harlies board raider (since they can't take their own). Raider hides behind LOS blocking cover. Between the 5+ invulnerable save, deducting 6" from the range of enemy guns and the cover the raider avoids being destroyed.
Turn 2, Harlies destroy the unit of their choosing.
Turn 3, Harlies continue their dance of destruction.
etc etc.

Sad isn't it.

*shrug* I figured "young padawan" was less likely to cause offence than "damnfool marine fanboy thinks he knows how harleys work. Does he not realise that theres a reason nobody else does it? Thinks he's smarter than every eldar gamer in the world, does he? Well, he's gonna learn the hard way just how fragile eldar are if he tries to pull that *expletive deleted as there are no Caestus' in sight* with me, or indeed, anybody else round here."

Yes, I know there is a reason you dont do it.
The reason nobody puts harlies into fast open topped transports is because you CAN'T. There is NO option to do so in the Eldar dex. If there WERE an option, people would be doing it.
Why do you think Orks use trukks, marines use Land Raiders and everyone else complains that they dont have access to that type of vehicle?
I dont think I'm smarter than every eldar player in the world, just those who are too silly to spot the difference between two very different types of vehicles. *



*No offence to any eldar player who can spot the difference.

[me_in_japan]

ok. here's a hint for the tactically challenged among us:

the reason eldar players dont put harleys in vehicles has nothing to do with them not being fast or open topped.


Any ideas yet?
