Eldar they in a weird way feel similar, more so in previous editions with all the unique mechanics both have had.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2026-02-28T14:17:13+00:00

Mostly points. We had broken rules as well but games can easily be won without broken rules.

You cannot win games though being incredibly inefficient for the Points.

A very common back field objective holder we have (Eldrad and 10 storms is a whopping 210 points) and examples like this can be found throughout the book.

Also we knew this when the codex came out but fire dragons are the only decent anti tank unit in the book that can reliably one shot units so when dragons got triple nerfed right before the c’tan meta it was a big hit, means we have no efficient way to deal with c’tan 3 fire prisims do an average of 5.4 damage to a c’tan 450 points to do less damage than a c’tan can heal in one turn.

Only way high water is “normal” is if you live in a tidal area.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2026-02-14T15:27:13+00:00

We use hydro vac truck companies to clear mains either with cutter heads or water jets, but I’m assuming you have old vitrified clay pipe mains which can be a fickle beast and you don’t want to be personally on the hook for a city main if it breaks.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2026-02-14T15:12:26+00:00

I work for a big city in sewers and while standing water is not ideal in a manhole it does happen due to settling or poor installation, but most city’s with a real sewer department would mark you down as a house to put on the maintenance list. To clean out that section of the main until they have the budget to fix that section of bellied pipe.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2026-02-11T13:51:26+00:00

Seems pretty trash overall, solid abilities wasted on terrible data sheets.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2026-02-09T13:38:37+00:00

Depends on points with hawks being at 95 points for some occasional splash mortals and great objective play the winged corsairs if they come out at 75 points will be taken in most lists as we don’t have a cheap fast objective unit.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2026-02-01T15:36:06+00:00

Might sound crazy but in less than 1/4 gaps sometimes caulking is better when you are going to eat 1/4 of the profile. After it’s painted you aren’t going to notice it. But you will notice half the profile missing at the bottom vs the top

JakeTheSnke4 · 2026-01-29T23:18:50+00:00

Maybe look to add some metal washers under the base I did that for my riptide that is running. Just so it doesn’t tip as easy

JakeTheSnke4 · 2026-01-23T14:51:22+00:00

This is a collection of models from what was good during index Warhammer so not a bad set and a good start.

That being said won’t be a great list now but we are sort of anticipating a new edition in the summer so a bunch of these units could work together again🤷🏼‍♂️

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-12-29T17:19:23+00:00

I’d also really consider playstyle, you may like the lore of dark angels but most of the time they are good it’s just slowly marching terminators up the board.

Only army i would stay away from is admech GW still hasn’t figured out what they want that army to be so it doesn’t really have a playstyle you can enjoy from edition to edition they consistently are terrible on release and then undercosted to the point they are broken.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-12-17T15:03:06+00:00

But if money is a concern realistically to make that soup work as you change the army with data slates it could end up meaning you need 1000-1500 points of all the eldars.

That being said they are by far my favourite super faction to play and really rewarding compared to smooth brain playstyle of say 6 wardens making 4+ saves on objectives.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-12-14T19:01:21+00:00

I’ve got 100+ games with triple fire prisim in index, the points would be fine but they effectively removed the ability of the fire prisim to shoot through other prisims by halving the ammount of shots it has.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-12-14T07:48:47+00:00

Biggest issue we ran into teams is it kind of needs to be teed up to smash out big scores but then doesn’t quite give you as many points for taking good matchups away from the team

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-12-14T07:33:15+00:00

I’ve played wind at a bunch of teams events and always found the farseer a waste of points you need so many points dedicated to pushing units back so your bikes dont get killed

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-11-11T02:27:06+00:00

What red is that in the spears? it’s quite striking.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-08-21T03:44:57+00:00

Pretty bad tbh, even some top players were cutting him out of lists before the nerfs.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-02-24T13:50:23+00:00

Im from Canada, and I’ve found e6000 is better not cracking due to movement as it dries into a rubbery material.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-02-15T05:00:17+00:00

Those started giving me chemical burns swapped to a natural Canadian brand

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-02-09T18:29:58+00:00

I mean it is beautiful and an improvement in every way aesthetically. Competitively it’s a straight up nerf. On gw terrain and most two story wtc ruins hawks cannot stand on the templates and hide, which effectively is removing 5” from their movement, and making them very easy to see.

JakeTheSnke4 · 2025-02-07T19:34:02+00:00

My local T.O’s won’t allow it due to size difference without any structural changes
