Thats very true, the eldar titans are actually preety survivable, Phantoms
especcialy. That holo field can work wonders for you, but once it's gone
your toast.

On another subject In my game today I wanted to have an eldar support
detachment. I tried 5 reapers, 2 night spinners, 2 warwalkers, and 6
support platforms. Completely unsiuted to my style of play. I'm used to
having my aspects w/ exarchs on his half of the field assualting things and
breaking them, Thier support is provided for by titans and engines of vaul.
Now I had this support detachment that was out of range for all except the
last couple of turns. Now, my tactics work pretty well, against imperial
units. Against tyrannids I'm sure I'd rather take a ton of those support
deatchments than any other aspects. I need good Ideas for a close support
detachment. I know I want war walkers, and dreadnought but I do not know
how to get them, they are support only. I'm thinking I'll take gaurdians
just 5 stands and make one of them command, or a farseer I'm not sure.
Anybody else have any ideas? I need some heavy fire support for those
aspects pounding into his center, I give a hurtin' but I take one as well.
