I don't think I'll spend much time crying for the eldar either. The orks
only get one heroic psycher with their supreme commander. All the rest
are fodder and they only get one per detatchment (and we pay an extra
point for them on top of all that). Furthermore, all the save means is
that you have to shoot them twice before you kill them (and half the time
they go down on the first shot), and given the rarity of heroic psychers,
it's not much of an advantage.
