The tacticals are for objectives. The vindi will cover the tacs / objectives while the assault squad + captain counter assaults. Land Speeder and attack bike are fast fire power or objective contesters. Scouts outflank and cause trouble or are a speedbump. Sternguard come down first turn, combat squad, and blow up tanks / shred infantry. They then look scary and draw fire.

Tactics of the Army of the Eldar
This revolves around the Alpha Strike. First turn, both Serpents move 36" towards the enemy (with Yriel in what unit is likely to do the most damage). Next turn, they hop out, Yriel leaves his unit, and three well chosen assaults take place. The Serpents then fly around and shoot stuff, ready to move back and continue the assault if necessary.

Meanwhile, the Reapers shoot stuff, and the Avengers and Guardians get up close to hold quarters and finish off what the Alpha Strike left, backed by the Avatar. This tactic usually results in a quick, efficient death for the enemy.

I am going to say Eldar for the win.

[Skarsgard]

Too be honest with the strategy outlined by the eldar player, I don't see how the marines can lose.

First turn drop pod with three combi-meltas from the sternguard will cause one dead waveserpent. Sure, the sternguard will get wiped out in return but this just buys the rest of the marines another turn to get into position.

Marines for the win.

[Warlord Zaktoznaz]

I think the space marine will take this win cause it has more scoring units and have the fire support to take out those serpents witch will force the most of the eldar units to struggle to get to the objektivs. The space marine will get in to place and hold those objektives.

My vote goes to Space Marines

[danjones87]

If the marines drop pod down, landing behind the waveserpent, then they could pop it with one combat squad and flamer them with the other. Nice! If that goes wronng though, the banshees will eat units.

I dont see ho the marines will be able to kill the avatar either. Mainly melta weapons.

Im still going for marines
