Eldar superheavies

[djhowitzer]

So, after lusting after them for ages i am finally getting eldar superheavies - a cobra and a pulsar lynx. does anyone have them and is there any advice on using them - or are they as unsubtle as they seem.

for example, i am considering putting star engines on them - so if they have to flee they can go further on a typically crowded apocalypse board. i am also considering giving both scatter lasers to benefit from the high weapon skill.
i am getting a warp hunter at the same time. holofields and a shuriken cannon right?

thanks people

I wouldn't bother with the jets. In an Apoc game there are so many long ranged weapons, infiltrators, deep strikers and flankers that you will never get away anyhow.

Never used the Eldar superheavies, can't give you any advice on that.

As for the Warp Hunter, you have it right. Holo-fields are a mandatory buy (IMO) on warp hunters because of the danger of "vindicator syndrome". Shuriken cannons are also a mandatory buy for when your gun gets blown off. Then you can either be a cruise missile or shoot away with 3 BS4 S6 shots.
-Spirit stones are a good buy if you have the points for it. Odds are, if you use the flamer template, whatever is left will be very angry, and you don't want to get stunned while they are in B2B or in charge range of you.

yeah. i might put the spirit stones on.
that is good advice about the star engines. i will not bother.

the Warp hunter needs the Holofield, however maybe, just maybe we will get a really good field in the future. The De have some interesting technology in fields.....

Don't most (all?) Eldar superheavies have Titan Holofields, which is a 4+ save? Even the Nightwing has it!
