:ph43r: Your views on whether or not Eldar are the supieor race.

I think there prety cool and hey worship cool gods ana all........They have the best fighting skills , don they?!?!?!?!?!?!?without weapons i mean. :ph43r:

Well the eldar race is based on warriors. They have aspect shrines which attract aspect warriors. The eldar are quite superior but lack the numbers.

They may lack the numbers in the storyline but you will find they out number nearly all their opponents in the game. ;)

The aspects are elite, but so are space marines.

A seven foot acid-spitting rock solid marine would wipe the floor with any space elf in hand to hand.

The marines have natural armor ( The Black Carapace ) that the eldar don't.

Marines also have extra lungs, an extra heart, and a slew of other organs and implants that takes them far beyond whatever the eldar could ever muster.

In the fluff, they sound more like the Tarrasque than a human.

Are you talking about space marines or termanator space marins :blink:

The eldar guardian has the same profile as a space marine........The eldar also live longer. The striking scorpians aspect warriors have many attacks in close combat. They shoot this special ray which has special stuff and then they have a couple of attacks with power swords. I have at least 2 power swords per squad.

Eokose man, what the hell are you talking about. :lol:

Terminators are just regular space marines, but with terminator honors. They just aren't represented how they are in the fluff for balancement purposes I guess.

Striking scorpions don't shoot lasers! They fire tiny shards of doom out of their mandiblasters. They also only use chainswords, not power weapons ( except for the exarch, so I duno how you get two per squad.

:P

Marines live for hundreds of years, if memory serves.

The eldar would be superior but are too cruel and wretched to seek aid from others. They once were superior but foiled themselves when they endeavoured into chaos. Now only a few craft worlds have survived and the rest are inside the eye of terror.

Thee not cruel and wretched there proud and arrogant! :D

I armed a couple with Power swords. And the striking scorpians chain swords....Umm they are power weapons arnt they?

No

Eldar are no where near as good as a space marine more like a guardsmen.

Eldar may not be as strong but they are still cheap and 2 eldar can take out 1 Space marine.

Striking Scorpions, I believe, shoot out needles from their helmets. And fluff-wise, Marines are definetly superior to Eldar.

Thats the one, a spray of needles!

Mandiblasters: Shoot tiny needles with toxins in them to subdue enemy.

Chainswords: Close combat weapons... not power weapons... count as a normal close combat weapon.

Guardians: 6pts... not as good a a marine

Marine: 15pts... better than a guardian but cant take on 2 if they have a starcannon... hehehe...

Eldar: A powerful race if you know how to use them, like an alaitoc army is naturally powerful but apart from their army of snipers, it would be a good idea to take some anti-tank. Bright lances are very VERY VERY cheesy against high points cost tanks with high armour... land raiders for instance... :D

Marines: Very good all around and a good army... if used wrong they can still stand a chance...

How is a bright lance cheesy, its the eldar's only anti-tank weapon. :o

What about prism cannons, eldar missile launcher and shurikin catapults. They all have a chance and lets not forget the starcannon. Then theres all the magic crap :rolleyes:

Lets not forget shuriken pistols either, they also have a chance. :rolleyes:

Beep... beep..beep.BEEP! Wow, the sarcasm meter just blew up!
Come on guys, Wow the marines only real anti-tank weapon is the multi-melta but lascannons also stand a chance and so do missile launchers... all armies are balanced perfectly :blink: ... they just have suttle differences :blink: ...

Lascannons and multi-meltas like you said. Assault cannons got an increadible boost in AT ability, firing 4 shots and rending.

Also I think the new marine codex introduced veteran skills, so they can take Tank Hunter. Missile launchers and even autocannons could be used for AT with that.

:(

NEWS FLASH
We arn't talking about marines we are talking about Eldar. And the eldar already get the tank hunter ability, its either the Fire dragon exarch or the Dire Avenger Exarch. They get a power called tank hunter.

...

When you do a comparison, you compare things.

Dumbass.

Well if you go back and look you will see that At that time we WEREN'T talking about space marines....

Dumbass

Superior (adj.) - Of a higher nature or kind.

That would imply comparison, which is relavent to the original post. Why wouldn't you compare eldar to another WH40k race?

Keep it coming, dumbass.

Well, we were comparing but then we started talking about eldar wargear and then someone said something about space marines that had nothing to do with the eldar wargear.

Come on Dumbass, got any more?

Space marines were brought up before and after the 'wargear'.

The wargear discussion was educating people who don't know what eldar wargear even is (ie- you).

Keep up the mimicing, dumbass :lol:

Well..........Ummm.............Ahhh

Um....Im out of ideas........... :blink:

I only made a comment on marines to be used as a general statement, i could say the same for IG, Tau or any other race. I just chose to use SMs as an example.
If I went off the subject a bit.
Soz...

If you can't keep these things on topic guys then I will close them. Let this thread be an example. If you wish to discuss this topic again then I suggest you start a new thread but keep things on topic.

Thanks
