i like the  AT 2+ / AP 4+   60 cm  stats line of the prisim and think its spot on the money, the points maybe the issue or limiting prisim unit sizes to 5 max, as this whole thread has said here and there about BM's supressing units  and it really doing the eldar  hard, i really dont feel that badly about it, yes its bad but you can play around it  if your smart.  but if you just increase unit sizes what changes ?  not much Imo,
Also touching on making  prisimis 50pts with the net EA  stat line if that was the case, i can in all honesty say i would NEVER  ever take falcons again.
Id be happy to see them  with the above stat line at 60 pts each with a unit size caped at 5.   and even then id probably always take them over falcons.  that extra  15 cm ranges is absolutly deadly.

And id also like to se the scorpion have a range increase to 75, yes it may not fit the fluff, but practical play wise and comparitive to the lists and other units i feel it needs it to justify its points, at its current state for 250 points i just dont think its ever worth having, id much prefer the same points spent on prisims or other units.

also why in ranting and babbling  please for the love of all things good and spiritual dont change wraithguard i couldnt think of a better balanced unit and more flavorsome unit.

I've been suggesting this for a while

Maybe a stupid question and has been possibly debating but I was wondering why are SoV formations 5-6 Grav Tanks? Why not just 5 or 6? Why not 3-6 then or in sets of three?

I think the main reason the 6th tank is allowed is because Falcons and Fire Prisms are sold in packs of 3 tanks, but there is at least one other reason.

In theory, the loss of spirit stones effected the tank formations more that the other formations in the list, simply due to the fact that the AV formations are the smallest formations in the list. Allowing an extra unit in the formation helps when dealing with blast markers.

one bugbear of mine - why do Dire Avenger Exarchs get their +1 EA as CC not FF? It means you either have to choose between FF and no Exarch EA or CC and no normal EA (plus worse to hit value). Given that all the CC Aspects get CC +1EA for their Exarchs and all FF Aspects except Dire Avengers get FF +1EA for their Exarchs, what's the reason for nerfing the Dire Avenger Exarch?

It can't be that +2EA is that terrible as Striking Scorpion Exarchs essentially have CC +2EA..

It' becaus Dire Avenger Exarchs are traditionally equipped with a Shuriken Pistol and a Diresword.

still sucks though - you're effectively paying the 25pts for Inspiring vs. Inspiring and +1EA for the other exarchs. Do we really need to stick so closely to what happens in the 40k world when it goes against the game mechanic in EA, in however small a way?

I think we should have the Avenger's Exarches as now - they are armed for close combat. 25pts is still good for inspiring anyway.

Actually with the current Codex Eldar (and only there! Never before in previous editions of WH40k) the Dire Avenger Exarch gets access to a twin-linked Dire Catapult (or whatever it is called in english). So a +1FFEA is a possibility.

The Epic model still has a Diresword, though.

I'll make complete turnaround - mapping 40k stats to EA is a great thing

... so can the Dire Avenger have +1EA FF? Please, pretty please...

it's not so much that 25pts isn't good for Inspiring, it's more that it's irritating that the DA exarch doesn't get what the others get..

Back to Fire Prisms a second, how much would we cost for 5x Fire Prisms under the following
a) 5x FPs 60cm AT2+/AP4+
b) 5x FPs 75cm AT4+/AP4+

I ran version a) including the lance ability at 325 in some of my games and it did feel right to perhaps a little overcosted, so 300 would be possible too.

If I had to choose I would take a) because I like my prisms as tank hunters better.

My 5 cent...
