Dawn of War strategy guide: Eldar
I am a recent Eldar convert. Have been playing the Space Marines now for ages but decided to give the eldar a try….mainly because I have got my arse kicked so many times by eldar players.
Although I am not playing long with them….here’s what I have learned. The key to victory is well placed and numerous webways. Once built shroud the webways, and if you have time put in a turret or two for good measure
That done the only troops worth their weight are Warp Spiders. They are not very tough against Terminators or Possessed Marines, but in large numbers they are very effective at taking out buildings and men. I build as many warp spiders as possible and load them into a webway. This takes the bulk of your army out of harms way but ready for deployment anywhere you have a webway in seconds. (Hence the reason for all the webways)
With the infantry ready the only vehicles I bother with are Wraith Lords and Fire Prisms. Wraith lords move quickly, are tough and dish out quite a bit of damage. In large numbers they can push deep into an enemy base before they die. Also the Fire Prism jump into the enemy base when used in conjunction with a space marine deep strike can win a game in seconds!
I would like to hear if anyone else has any eldar insights???
