Hi!
<grin> I was wondering when the "grand farseer" would be back. No
worries, read the "diplomacy" post. Let use the parallel approach and
let people use what they will.

I think Eldar Army need only some minor changes to the Army list
structure,
they are Eldars, they are different from Marine Chapters, I don't agree
to
let them look like a sm chapter, you cannot simply see a "free card" as
a
"free" card, maybe cards must be changed a bit but not the full
structure.

I don't agree here, a more sensible rule could be limiting WRH in number
or
increase the cost (adding points) for multiple choice of the same card,
but
once for all, stop moan about WRH, only a non expert Eldar player can
say
that WRH it's underpriced, believe me, you have to se all the army as a
whole thing not just a bounce of single cards.
