From the NetEPIC 4.1 Eldar codex (Page 21):
Holo-fields are useless against barrage weapons. Any barrage weapon
attack ignores the Holo-field save for purposes of determining damage.
On the other hand, Holo-field saves apply to all weapon attacks that do
not use a template and are not psychic attacks, including Warp Missiles
and even multiple Vibro-Cannon shots. The fact that the Warp missile
does not travel through normal space is irrelevant since the Holo-field
blocks the sight of the firer and conceals the Titan, and hence the
firer may shoot the missile to a wrong spot, through Warp or not. If
you want to destroy an Eldar Titan, use a barrage missile.

If the following is so, I'm trading in all my IG/SM for Eldar.

You are correct, its in the Eldar codex.

They scatter too. The psyker can't target a unit just like any other
could not. Nice one though, chalk up another thing that needs revision.
