My friend plays eldar and I lose to him almost everytime, I'm sure this is my tactics because i have used a variety of lists multiple times and I still can't win. Strangely, he usually runs a gunline force, which seems to be out o date in 5ed.
Anyway, his army list at 1500 is something like:
Eldrad (sometimes small seer council)
Maugan ra/Avatar/ farseer (fortune and guide usually)
10 Dire Avengers
10 Guardians with a bright lance
Rangers
Sometimes scorpions or spiders
2 Squads of Dark reapers (sometimes replaces a squad with warwalkers with starcannons/ eldar missile launchers/ bright lance.
Wraithlord, sword and shoulder weapon (AT)
Other stuff that I can't remember or that varies.
When I played a mech list the few anti-tank weapons he has pop a few and then when i get close = singing spears and cc against vechiles death. My troops then get dark repeared.
Non-mech=dark reapers and star cannons
Shooty = outshooted
Drop pod, thiI expected this one to do awesome but I coudn't get past fortune during shooting and then got hit by nearly his whole army, got tabled.
I think the main reason that I can't win is that every unit is fortuned (2 per player turn by eldard and an extra on each player turn if another farseer). I tried to negate this with librarian but all his powers were negated (runes of warding), his hood only stopped half the powers at the most and he was a priority target so got shot.
Also my friend is freakishly lucky at 5+ svs (guardian cover, etc. etc.) and tempest launcher with crack shots doesn't let sm suvive.
Is any one experienced at beating eldar powers or a list like this. If so please post help. Thanks
