I have only two things that I think should be in an eldar army.

Void spinners - One of the best artillery pieces for the price in the game.

Warlock Titan - the best single assault formation in the game bar none!

Phantom.

I have no idea how to counter a phantom and you can't even just run away as its pretty quick!  I hate it,  I played a game where the eldar player took one and it single handedly ruined my day destroying anything that came in range.

I run Eldar but I don´t have Titans ( I don´t like the minis ), but I have to say that they are so powerful I´m unable to counter them (I also have SM, Orks and IG)  :sad:

If you can't avoid them, the next best thing is to fire *everything* at them... six formations firing at a Phantom (or Warlock, or even two Revennats) will break them, even if you score no hits.

Massed fire *will* bring them down, don't let the Holofields fool you... *especially* Revenants, as they don't have reinforced armour, so every attack that gets through the Holofields is damaging.

6 formations is one hell of a lot of shooting at one unit... maybe i should start taking smaller popcorn units...

It's a hell of a lot of shooting at one hell of a unit!  *laugh*

Once it's broken, it's not as much of a threat... and will have 2 Blast markers on it already if/when it rallies.

Additionally, six formations firing on it, might actually take it out... at 750-850 points, a Battle Titan is a pretty serious investment for an Eldar army... taking it out will certainly hurt them.

if you can do it cross fire is very effictive against all the eldar titans, especially the battle titans.

-1 save? Don't the holofields just grant a 3+ invulnerable save?

Nope.  Nothing in the write-up for Holofields mentions "invulerable save" at all, though it's a common misinterpretation, they just get to make a "special save" vs any attacks.  The -1 to saves for crossfire still applies.

Huh, I certainly haven't noticed that possibility (and have indeed mistaken holofield for "invulnerable").

Might be a good time to start learning crossfire tactics :grin:

Let me just add that all Eldar titans are annoying, and Revenants put out ridiculous numbers of MW hits.

Guard are the best way to combat Eldar, Shadowswords, Deathstrikes & Vultures are constant worries for Eldar Titans. Faced Rug twice in one tournament and Deathstriked his phantom in each game.  :devil:
