BEASTS OF WAR FAIL THE DARK ELDAR

PLEASE TEAR THEM TO SHREADS
link to the fail below i cried after watching it, it was the same mistakes i made b4 i met you guys and they think its competitive!!!!!

Yeah, this video was garbage. Even my wife (that plays Eldar) laughed at this video. 40k must be insanely different in Scotland versus the US. I would be ashamed to bring that list to a tournament in the states.....

lol, it's not that the Scottish are bad at 40k, its that these guys are just so set in their way using other armies that they just want the big, strong, multi wound beasts in stead of using true fast and nimble DEldar.

Haha, oh wow. What a find. I think the best bit was three Agoniser & Hexrifle Haemies, I haven't laughed like that in a while. Yeah, give your fleetless dudes an agoniser and hexrifle so they can snipe and charge and be a nice, overly expensive kill point! Run them Grotesques all alone, they'll do fine with their LD4, because you'll lose them on turn one to Berzerk Rampage.

Have these guys even opened the freaking codex, or did they threw up a list in Battlescribe, thought "Yeah, this looks good" and called it a day? Sure seems like it.

Succorax, thanks for the lolz. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to link them to the Dark City, where they might be schooled proper.

I just like what the video tag said:

"We've been challenged to create a Dark Eldar list that might just be able to cut it in the competitive scene, without resorting to the usual Venom Spam or Hellion Swarm... can the guys do it?"

The implication is that they have a practical or at least theoretical understanding of what works in a competitive Dark Eldar list.
I wonder if this was just a lightning rod topic to get more hits that backfired.... maybe a way to sell more non-40k models...

sad... just sad...

I could only watch about 5 minutes... when they got to the 9 wyches with 7 HWG I was out... XD

Oh dang, you misst the 3 squads of 15 Wyches with HG, 3WW and Hekatrix with agoniser who are running up the feld, with a pain token from the heamis. they are suupposed to be the working horses and kill everything, while the other units are distractions... the archon with his "command" raider that he got from... wth.

Well nice try guys, please come to the dark city and apply here to one of the Kabals as a trainee for a Haemi, there is much to learn.

Oh god - never heard such good comedy on WH40k.... 3 Haems with Agonizers + Hexrifles...

your welcome for the lols.

i did learn one thing from it though and notfrom them but comments. that the archon cannot take a transport but he can start in 1 with a group. firstly why would u take a lone archon unless he dropping a suicide WWP and secondly does that mean once he disembarks the first time with his sqaud of eg incubi or wyches that he cant get back on?

No he can embark and disembark any transport as he pleases. but he can not buy a transport for himself, and he can not start inside a transport expect of his own. As he can not buy himself a transport, he may only start a game inside a transport while he is attached to the unit owning the transport.

That is... really, really bad. Hilariously bad. "Do not even know the rules they are discussing" bad.

"Necrons have all the same fast transports but they're Armor Value 13."

Lessee:
Catacomb Command Barge: Fast, AV 13... but it only carries one IC
Ghost Ark: AV13, but not fast. Costs almost twice as much as a DE transport.
Night Scythe: Fast, but not AV 13. Also costs almost twice as much as a DE transport.

So to start, not only do they not know the DE army they are trashing, they also don't know the Necron army they are praising.

"Archon with dedicated transport," "9 wyches, 7 of them have haywire grenades"

Free tip: when presenting an army list, if helps if it is actually legal.

"3 Haemonculi with Agonisers and Hexrifles each leading 15 wyches on foot."

Well no wonder they think DE are rubbish! They're trying to play them like Orks!

I could not get any further than that. Funny as DOW's fail here is, it just hurt too much to keep watching.

Not to mention the fact that AV13 is a shield that disappears after first penetrating hit, then they go to their base AV of 11. But that's the smallest of the inaccuracies.

it just shows you either think of them as retarded and stupid or tooo cheesy to play against. in my group of friends i have both types..... 6th will be interesting and i have a final game of 5th against the crons on staurday with my marines.... should be fun....

There's a guy in my group who is both. He's tremendously proud of his cheesily-built Deathwing army, but the two times I played him I owned him so thoroughly that he quit partway in both games. The first game after my third shooting phase, and the second game during the MIDDLE of my second shooting phase.

He insisted both times that it was because his Terminators were rolling "80% ones!". His saves were, in fact, perfectly average. But when your 700-point deathstar has to make 50 armor saves and 8 invulnerable saves it even decent rolls are't good enough. Sadly, he quit in the second game RIGHT when I was opening up on his death star's Land Raider Crusader with 6 Fire Dragons.

i have kinda the same problem but my guy woint even play my marines for fear of losing though he has agreed once i get up to 1500 on models for my DE which will be about a week as im 16 on the 4th then he will play a game against the "cheese" he still doesnt really realise that his marines can bring my transports down with bolters....

I don't really know what to say about these guys
Is it just me or does it looks like they don't know that you can attach a IC to units?

And why do they always refer to GK with what is good or not, GK are OP. GK isn't the ''standard''
