but quite expensive compared to say the Nurgle Engine for 31 points. I
wouldn't be too bothered about the minimum range because you want it for the
longer range anyway.

This is pretty nasty.

I like the Tyranid biovores a lot - infantry with 60cm disruption and
artillery for 20 points.

Maybey you just haven't found it yet.

Well I played against an Imperial player with Eldar and defeated him
soundly, people cried Eldar cheese. I then used a Tyranid army vs his
Imperials and won with a greater margin - people cried Tyranid cheese - "GW
tends to favour Eldar and Tyranids". I then decided to take an Imperial
army against his Imperial army and won yet again - I think Land raiders are
one of the nastiest unit/points you can get. I then went back to playing
Eldar when my 14 year old younger brother played his first game with Orks
and butchered me. I don't think the Eldar army is cheesy, especially when
things like farseers cost 75 or 90 points as detachment commanders compared
to a superior librarian at 60 points.
