        OK, maybe I should have said, "banshees & their psychic
scream are overrated." The psychic scream looks nice, but when
you consider they can only use it against things that aren't a
threat to them in the first place...

        Gee, what a shame that all the Eldar CC troops are hth
gods... =) I think you're forgetting about Wraithguard, though -
+4 CAF, 100 pts for 4 (cheaper than scorps & banshees). You
just have to worry about the orders problem.

        Which is why you stick 'em in forests (and hope you
don't run into a Great Unclean One =).
