I don't hate them. It's a running joke in our group to call them "stupid Eldar" though... much to the annoyance of the Eldar players.

And I hate "hate" threads. Just because you lack the skills to beat an army, that doesn't mean they are "cheaty" as you suggest.

Learn some tactics rather than whine.

I'll go as far as saying me and their fluff really don't get on, something about the edwardian like restraint they veneer over everything to try to be clinical since the orgy that led to slannesh kind of gets my goat, its like a built in 40k reminder of having your old folks in the room saying don't do that, when you know they used to. :( (I mean I have some issues with imperial fluff I must divergant from paternalistic autocratic ruler (far too freud), thats why I have 3+ chaos armys and some nids, might even slip in an orc combat patrol to fill the gap at some stage)
Apart from that any bile I spew is purely because I still can't beat our truly supremely competant eldar player when he wields a competative tourny list (EDIT to put it in context,apart from me and loerdofalljoy on those rare occasions in our group (approx 1 in 4 is my win ratio vs Mr6), the only time he's been beaten by those fellows at 1st comp (which only he goes to)in a year was by a bloke taking speed flight and glaive etc illegal list, he came back saying he'd fought a proper khorne list nothing like my pansy one, I then pointed out the 5+ ways it was illegal).
Silly

eh this just a bit of fun on the anything goes section, im not one of these people who will sit sulking for ages because they lost a game. be it frankly i rarely win but do highly enjoy it. again this was just a bit of fun with the fluff.
sorry if you think im a whiner but from now on ill stick to threads like "shall i take the iron halo in my army?" quotes
what do mean its got a 4+ INV?

Hold on shakey, you're a Black Templar player - how the hell can you accuse the Eldar of being "too cheaty" :P

Nooooooes, don't make them shorter too.:lol:
I have problems getting LOS on them as they are, a bieltan squat army or ratling pathfinders and i'd have to get points for shooting their hats off.

My first Epic army was Eldar and I still love 'em. I'll be starting them up for 40k soon as my Sisters army is in really good shape. :D
