It has been a while since I did a blog post about how to kill Eldar, so I though I would change that.
Eldar are not overly tough to kill, but they can dish out a lot of damage. Fighting against them, there will be more damage taken on both sides than fighting with most other opponents. Their ability to kill easily is almost like they are over-compensating to make up for above-average cost and only average model count. Also, the Farseers casting ‘Fortune’ on a unit of scouts planted in cover is nearly impossible to kill. What I find effective is to use rapid assaults and hard-to-kill CC units. Stormboyz, Nobz in battlewagons, (Meganobz in battlewagons,) and Deffkoptas, (For anti-tank as well as bigbomms,) are all good choices. Hordes are less effective, (Try getting shot with a nightspinner and then having to take a dangerous terrain test next time you move. Not fun. Especially when it is thirty ork boyz moving. (four or five wounds, after the actual blast template does it’s damage,) but they can draw fire from otherwise vulnerable units.
Guns are not my first choice for fighting Eldar. They can outshout you, so you should try and beat them on your home field, as opposed to trying to beat them where they are strong.
