Post subject:  Anti-Eldar Tactics

For those of you playing EA, I am soliciting all opinions on anti-Eldar tactics, especially those applicable for use by SM and CSM forces.

What I am interested in are tactics that a well rounded, tournament-style force could use against Eldar.  I am not interested in army selection suggestions.  I can definitely tool up an anti-Eldar army pretty easily but that doesn't help on the fly.

The problem that I run into is that Eldar have hordes of MW fire.  A lot of the SM and CSM unit cost comes from the fact that they are definitely well-armored.  MW negates that and as both forces are few in number, Eldar seem tailor-made to shred SM and CSM.  I have yet to find tactics that work consistently.

Thanks for any help, guys.

I've had success with the usual drop-podding Scouts supported by Thunderhawks and Terminators. The scouts can assault Eldar vehicle formations (Falcons, Prisms, Engines of Vaul) on Turn 1 and make the Eldar spend turn 1 dealing with the nuisance while I get to keep the initiative and maneuver for positions. To summarize, do what Marines always do: kill the soft firepower fast.
