You must have had kinder eldar players: The one I usually played had the
whole table under a bike assault watch. If any unit came out from under
a "first fire unbrella", it was almost gauranted to be hit by at least
two units of bikes. Once we figured out that vypers couldn't enter
forests it was a little easier, but advancing a titan was always a
bitch; Luke was never one to worry about wasting 3 100 point bike units
when a 500 -900 point titan was around.

When I played chaos against him, he typically had 9 prism cannons
(counts as psychic) to nuke my demons with. We actually played a battle
where I had 2 LOB's to his 5 companies of falcons. Mine were the
remenants of a previous campaign battle, his was a mopping up force. I
did manage to kill ~12 with deathstorms before he got enough into range
to melt the LOB's and the surrounding 30 yards of terrain with laser
blasts.
