Space Elves

Yeah yeah, I know, wtf is up with all the posts all of a sudden. I can't help it, Noorderspel has sparked my fanatacism(sp?) for 40k once more (which is good). For I have purchased the new Codex: Eldar and i'd like to share my thoughts on this..... most interesting tome.

I hear a lot of people say that Eldar have become much more powerfull. I say this is not true. They are just made.... a little easier to build up. I actually dislike some of the stuff they did to it.
The Aspect Warriors for instance:
They are still just about the same, the exarchs have one extra weapon option (with some cool ones at that), but they nerfed some of the weapons too. The biting blade is no longer that sweet character killer, getting another hit with every wound scored, it now ads +1S with each hit scored in stead. Wich is nice since it means you can get your exarch on 4 attacks and a total strength of 8 (AT AN INITIATIVE OF FRIKKIN 6!). But I liked the old one better.
They also reduced the exarch powers to just being upgrades that give your guys a universal special rule from the BBB. (infiltrate, stealth, hit and run, counter attack, etc)

*woop gotta go catch mah bus, talk more tonight or tomorrow, cya -E*
*I'll finish up now, I just need to do something other than this physics homework cause I'm going nuts*

And that means they took out 'crushing blow' and some of those nice and juicy abillities. Though not all is that bad. They just took the "exotic" and turned it into "just another color".

What they DID do is beef the phoenix lords into heaven.
They have better S T I WS BS (well actually everything).
They also sport a nice 2+ save and still have the "fleet of foot".
Imagine that monstrosity speeding towards your lines. It always kills you before you do it to them. their weapons are better, they are fearless and they'll probably save any wounds made against them. And if not? Well they can't be insta killed anyway with their new rules. (Though NEVER EVER pit them against stealers or broodlords, they'll snuff it, I'd guess)

Take Jain Zar:
When she charges she sports a healthy 5 attacks at S7(executioner) at I10(banshee mask) that ignores normal saves with a WS7! That could kill any elephant. So what if you don't kill that fex in one go. It needs three wounds to kill her in the same round since she can't be insta killed!
Or Baharroth: also 4 or 5 A's on charge, power weapon (S4 though), ws7, I6. And if he doesn't get the job done he does a simple hit and run and he's out!
That and he's got an average speed of 21" (charge included)!

And than there's Maugan Ra with his new maugetar, it now sports 4 shots, and it RENDS AND PINS! (AND shuriken canons are now assault!)
I mean WTF!

Sure you pay a whopping 200 or so points, they kick fucking ass!

I'll leave it at that. There should only be one reason for any army to buy it. For the Eldar it's the new wraithlord model. Have you seen what they did with that sweet plastic on gw.uk? MAN i gotta go convert me one of those!

cya,

New Eldar arent too bad. I wouldnt say they are overly powerful, with the minor exception of the Wraithlord (still definitely an issue in terms of going against one, owwie the pain). But i think they did ok for it, especially since they made it so each craftworld could still loosely function on its own without having specific carftworld rules.

I'll have an Eldar army eventually.

And I still need to update my blogs.

Yesss, Yessssssssss new army syndrome *le nods* tis good yes yessss.

New Eldar arent too bad at all. Although id be very selective with what i want since I dont like half the aspects. And on that note, why do Warp Spiders not have a Phoenix Lord?

I'm still on page 10..with the fluff. Haven't read any rules yet except the amazing spear thingie ;)

eeeeks.

Dammit, I'm losing it. Not only is work swamping me (no wonder scientists are excentric) I am also unable to find any hint of system requirements for Supreme Commander, Huxley or C&C3. And i really need to know what kind of processing power I need to get for my new pc. (not to mention the graph card)

damn you vague fuckers!

As is obvious: any help would be very much appreciated, since the price difference between a 1,86 gig dual core and a 3,8 gig dual core is quite something. (though the 3d card difference isnt all that)

damn you developers!

Yeah.. Just email them.. they MIGHT reply to you before the end of the year.


This entry hasn't hit chat status, rather disappointing, yessssssssssssss.....

At 6:29 PM, Blogger Erwin said...

thats cuz you suck!

Anyway, I don't believe you can get this post to chatroom status unless you can get 9 meaningfull.. aw who am I kidding, nine completely meaningless and utterly arbitrary replies on here before saturday morning.

For on saturday morning I'm gonna post wip pics of my new chappie (you know the cyborg-idea-stolen-from-freakforge guy)

anyway, im off, cya

At 4:00 AM, Blogger The Angelus Sanctus said...

So you want 9 completely useless posts before saturday morning for this to hit chatroom status?


Ehh, not the hardest thing to do, definitely an achievable goal and by the end of this lil comment by me, it will only need 8 more comments to go before chatroom status :P

Mwahhahahahahahahaha TEH INSANITY!!

Ok I will never spam like this again, but you were damn well asking for it!!!!

CHATLOG STATUSSSSSSSSS

He's going to update tomorrow afternoon you guys cause he'll be sleeping tomorrow morning.

 
At 3:16 PM, Blogger The Angelus Sanctus said...

Hey.. I may be a blog whore, but at least i have style, unlike the major ass spamwhore... Gawd.. You could have at least waited in between comments so folk could post back vs doing 8 odd comments within 2 minutes.

Technically that really isnt chatroom status per-se since its just full of arjan spam crap...


Ehh, i guess that means we have to hit 30 posts for chatroom status (since spamwhore voided it at the 20-count). Oh well, only what, 7 more posts to go? And try to do it properly this time you mofo!!



-eTAS

 
At 10:07 AM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

we once said that to reach 21 comments was somewhat of a 'chat' instead of normal comments.

So if a post has 21 comments..it has reached 'chat log status'.

I could have waited..but Erwin said he didn't expect the post to hit 21 before saturday morning and I didn't have time to wait and make normal comments again in order to get to 21 :D

 
At 11:07 AM, Blogger The Angelus Sanctus said...

Yeah we are weird folk, pay little attetion to that =x


Hrmmm.... Well we still could hit like 31 by the time sunday morning hits =x

At 3:53 PM, Blogger The Angelus Sanctus said...

At 5:52 PM, Blogger Erwin said...

At 6:51 PM, Blogger The Angelus Sanctus said...

Ahh indoor volleyball..

Bleh indoor volleyball is for wussies....


Ooo, almost at 30 (with more meaningful posts this time around).


-eTAS

 
At 11:25 PM, Anonymous Anonymous said...

pfft meaningfull posts are so overrated. And ..your post was nr 30

 
At 5:15 AM, Blogger The Angelus Sanctus said...

True, ok so meaningful posts ARE over-rated but at least they are better than your spamfest, you spamwhore :P


But haha! We hit 32 before Erwin updated. I declare this entry has achieved true chatlog status!!

HUZZAHHHH!!!!

Seee, I knew we could do it the proper way :P

 
At 11:49 AM, Blogger E-bean said...

uhm, about the proc. things...

just a core 2 duo, 2 gigs of memory and some simple graph card.

that'll do the trick.

 
At 2:15 PM, Blogger The Angelus Sanctus said...

This is why i got myself a 360 to get over some of the pc woes and technology crap. Sure i still dont have the same flexibility as i would on a pc, but ehh.. I am happy and content *le nods*

Gimmeh the new games. Although I would like to have had a decent pc version of Call of Duty 3 :(

At 4:57 PM, Blogger The Angelus Sanctus said...

I dont even wanna know what crazy scheme you have going on with your Eldar =x

Pics of the Chaplain would be cool.

Bleh just look around for fairly decent graphics card that are a few notches up from the generic stuff they whack in pcs. Hell you could probably find something on ebay =x


-eTAS

 
At 10:11 PM, Blogger E-bean said...

The link is great for **uk bargains** including Nintendo Wii, PS2, PS3, games consoles and features famous online stores inc Argos, Marks and Spencer, Empire Direct, LX Direct, Tesco, Next. There is also a chance to play online bingo and try your luck at the online gambling sites available inc roulette, poker and fruit machines. I've also found another site for **free soccer links**. Hope you find these sites interesting - all the best!
