I played against the Eldar this weekend... nothing is worse than getting
your Warlord with a CC weapon all ready to put the smack down on a
Phantom, and have the Eldar player roll that 2+ save for the #*(%&(ing
thing through the next three turns.
In fact he had 2 Revenants and a Phantom... he missed maybe 3 saves in a
six turn game, and I wasn't slacking in putting the FP (or AT, or Death
Rays) on them. Eldar titans may be fragile but if the Eldar Player is
rolling hot then _nothing_ will touch them.
