Editing Warhammer 40,000/5th Edition Tactics/Eldar (section)

==Why Play Eldar==

In general, the Eldar are a fast army with great guns, awesome toys and poor resilience. The Eldar are often touted as a “specialist army,” and for good reason: Each unit plays a very particular role and generally everyone in a squad has the same gun. If you are the kind of guy who likes it when a plan comes together, you might be man enough to lead an army of Eldar.

The need for careful consideration of your army, along with the limitations of their aging Codex, makes for a genuine challenge to veteran players. Tactical blunders will see your army crushed, but if you can get the right part of your Eldar army fighting the right bad guys, you can ruin Christmas every time. Eldar are almost universally Fleet of Foot and pack high Leadership and good stats. All of their vehicles are skimmers (okay except war walkers) and they have two different flavors of jump troops. The Eldar also bear [[Weeaboo|a peculiarly attractive aesthetic,]] in spite of the frequent phallic jokes directed at the shape of their helmets. We suggest that you convert them to an all-girl force because an army of lesbian space elves would be totally awesome.
