Eldar- nigh unstoppable on the oz tournament rotation. Too many reasonably priced
toys paired with their special rules- they should only be allowed 2 support/core
This!
Eldar have the tools to make a poor player average, an average player good and a great player nigh unstoppable while sticking to approved lists.
Free avatar, high strat, full move after engagement, cheap toys at a 1 to 3 ratio, triple retain, holofields, double inspiring.
The only time Eldar were not on the podium at a tournament in Aus, they just weren't playing.
Last time they were beaten at a high level tournament? By a list that is now banned at tournament play.
At the moment if you want to compete at a tournament in Australia you have to try and write a list to try and beat Eldar first, everything else second.
Also Iyanden. A full fearless army is pretty stupid.
I know they can break easily, but a smart general still can use those units to their advantage with shoving them in your face and using them to screen and they still remain FF or CC gods. (They should be autonomous rule, or at least double blast marker rule. Not fearless).
But mainly yes - Eldar need to be toned down. It's the army that has the tournament scene shaking their head with "wtf bullshit Eldar" every time.
