Don't think the Dark Eldar codex has something to handle it. Math sais for 625 points you get 5 ravagers. That's 15 shots 10 hits 6,6 wounds and 3,3 wounds after the 4++. So if it's so kind not to shoot back, you need 3 turns to take it out. For the record - your maths is wrong - its T9... 15 shots, 10 hits, 3.3 wounds then down to 1.66 wounds after 4++ save then down to 1.11 after FNP... So your ravagers need 9 solid turns of uninterrupted fire to kill it! I guarantee you don't get that with it firing back... | |

I guarantee you don't get that with it firing back... You won't get it even if it doesn't fire back - games can't last more than 7 turns. | |

| Maybe we should wait until the unit officially comes out before we start raising the alarm. There's still time for the rules to be altered. | |

| By "altered" do you mean it lose Gargantuan Creature status, along with 4 of its wounds?
Anything less will make a negligible difference to its survivability against pure DE. | |

| Well, next month they are releasing VECT on his Dias... Finally we get some firepower back. 3 dark disintegrators (twin linked assault 6 str d each) AV 14/14/14 with shard shields (2+ invul, can never penetrate only glance) with 8 hull points Psychic void- all psychic powers within 18" are immediately canceled. Can never be targeted directly or indirectly by psychic powers All Kabalite models with lance weapons get a free upgrade to str 9 ap2 lance ignores cover. One unit per turn within line of sight of the Dias gets the "skyfire" rule if they choose.
All for 240 points.
That should even things out a bit.

| Unfortunately, Vect changed allegiance during the intervening time and the aforementioned model is only available to Imperium of Man armies. | |

| I never said the word experimental. But the rules aren't necessarily finalized until the model is out.
Like I said, why don't we hold our hysteria until the model is actually released? | |

| Target suppression.
Multiassault is entire army the same turn, with everything you have (even the less efficient assault type units like scourges), to limit the overwatch, and ignore the kX139. It won't be able to shoot, and if he decide to engage with it, disengage the jetbikes, keep his army locked, and score with jetbikes. | |

| Using 1,850 points of models in the HOPES of countering a 600 point model speaks volumes of the current Dark Eldar power level.
In case you are wondering, compared to Eldar, necrons, Dark Angels and now Tau we hit as hard as a marshmallow shot out of a paintball gun.

You've just completely changed how I feel about running Covens... I've thought about this quite a bit. Is there any other army in the game that can get the entire force in combat turn 2 reliably the way we can? Not that it does anything against FMC spam. Can't hurt what you can't charge. | |

In fact it's quite the opposite. You charge everything else, and totally ignore the big suit. What is fearsome is his guns. If the suit don't have a target to shoot at, it's just a 600 points ornament. That's mean you'll have 1850 pts to crush 1250 points in assault. (Okay, that's not true, we need to remove the raiders and venom from that count. but still...) | |

| i believe that you have to place the 3" stomp NOT on friendly units, but i have not checked yet. But i remember a wraithknight tightened between other friendly units and complaining that issue (the player was in another table at our LGS) | |
