well, after taking my drop for the past 3 years i'm really thinking about taking a new army to astro toronto later this year... as the eldar have a shiny new 'dex and so many sexy new models, they're an obvious choice!
now, astro is very different in that scoring units are the key to doing well... killing your opponent is always secondary to the specific mission objective, and 99% of astro missions rely on scoring units!
so with that in mind, i'm thinking about a 'more bodies' approch, hence the lack of exarchs... (for all those pts i can squeeze in the 2nd avenger unit & guardian defenders!)
comments & crits much, much welcomed as i've never played eldar before!
