Okay, you are hereby forbidden to even think of USF until you have the codex. Enhance ISN'T CUMULATIVE. Trust me, a GrandMaster geared up correctly will roll over a Spear of Khaine with no apparent effort. And Salamander, some bad news. Sit and Shoot don't work on DH. We can weather almost any weapon without any apparent effort, and you can meat shield some Inquisitorial Stormtroopers for your bigger badder units. And if you get past them, there's shrouding. Then the shweet armour.

(Cannot spell name) Don't be trash talkin' at people. You don't even have a single miniature yet, or even the Codexes. Also, don't forget how many people type fast and don't go through and edit out all mistakes. So, cut some slack for these people. AND! Enhace isn't cumulative, and it can only take it up to 10. Then Grimoire of True names comes in, and the Avatar is screwed anyways.

personally, the avater is a ball of shite because it is a bullet magnet, costs too many points and will be brought down in like 3 rounds! especially with SM, DH, Tau and ppl with hardcore killing guns. (cant spell name) u r callin me a noob (HAHAHA sue me i just used webspeak!!!!!) ... when you buy the codex, read the REAL rules and then stop slagging people off, THEN, my friend, THEN you have the right to call ME a noob, even though im not. Even then it will still be wrong.
NOTE: everything in red had nothing to do with the topic, and everyone plz avert your gaze and read the relevent parts. Ok? so nobody can accuse me of Firefighting.

Same goes for you, too. The Avatar is a supporting unit, like many things in the Eldar army list. If he's in the webway, he won't get shot, so you bring him up to the front where guns don't make much of a difference, and boom. That's why USF has a Spear of Khaine. When you're on the front lines, 3 rounds is a long time to do some damage. And you're as much of a noob as you say I am. You need to read the rules too, before you give advice. Not too long ago, you didn't seem to think the Avatar was such a bad idea. Bloody conformist.

Just a friendly warning before things get out of hand. Please be civil.

Good call skip.........some of these cats seem a little up tight. Chill Winston....dont get worked up over any Eldar subjects.........their not worth it.

But the Spear of Khaine has one bad restriction. You have to start with your HQ on the table, which means you would need to take a Seer Council anyways.

[Seer of the Web]

I havent really looked into USF *too* much, but i think i have a reasonable idea.. but its kinda pricey and maybe a little to voulnerable... but i think it may work...
By the way this is for getting into CC like against tau.. dont do it on DH or whatever...

So it goes like this: You start the game with 3 jetbikes and a warlock with a wraithgate... they run up as far as they can.. 18", or 12 then drop the gate. Its your choice, this may be a waste of points, but the idea is to get your warlock killed close to the enemy, or get close and drop it, so you can deploy and get into CC with your enhanced stormies and MURDA those clumsy tau..!!

You can fill your other points with whatever you want.. it seems like a good idea to have some strong support gunz with a farseers guide and a meat shield of defenders... but im gonna leave it open for flexebility :w

Hopefully this will suprise your enemy and they will be too out of position to react.

Maybe it will work.. any suggestions?

[Salamander]

never thought of that....interesting.

[Saruman_II]

so, can either a farseer OR a warlock have it? i was sure only a farseer could carry the wraithgate- if so, it would make the plan all wierd cos farseers cant use jetbikes. If im wrong, its a very good idea!

[Squirrel]

Saruman, you tard. We went over this in another thread. Warlocks can take the wraithgate, but a model on a jetbike (e.g. a warlock on a jetbike) can't. I suggested the same thing, and Longshot informed me of the rules.If you're going to call people noobs, don't be one yourself. You're wondering about rules, and telling me to buy the codex. That, my poor sap, is what is called hypocrisy. So when YOU buy the goddamn codex and read the real rules, you can tell me to do the same thing, *****.

Again, beings with an IQ above 70 (Not you, Saruman), note that red text does not apply to you and is completely off topic. That is all.
