It says in the WB description they don't gather points until the end phase,
and I belive there is a ruling to support that in Allen's Q&A.

Prism Cannons, Prism Cannons, Prism Cannons. Also a Warlock Titian with a
Phycic lance. Against a Chaos Marine army I can't see Vibro Cannon or Warp
Hunters being all that usefull. And in small 3k or less fights avoid
Tempests, also maybe shy away from Exarchs and get more aspects. Get
Harliquins in thier place.

If you know your opponents force you should alter yours a little. The
Eldar army list is fairly short anyway and some units perform much better
against some armies than others. i.e. vibro cannon vs squats or vs bugs.
Prism Cannon vs. Chaos or vs IG.

The house rules definately arn't helping you. The way they fear your WS
and make rulings against it make it a much less valuble unit than it could
be. They should not be able to target it through the Wave period, and it
says in the unit description that the wave can go through and knock down
buildings, I can't see a couple of trees stoping it. They need to realize
that WS are not skimmers and can be killed or neutrilized pretty easily. I
had one screening some Banshees spend most of the game staring at a dragsta
field and Squiggoths. Niether one of us could manuver to get away from the
other so all they did was sit there for a couple of turns.
