We'll Be Back...Eventually...

Before my older Ford Explorer fried its engine, I had a Necron army. It was only 1963 points mostly due to a monolith, but I abbandoned it after a while [Eldar were to be re-vamped soon]. It ended up in a small box in the back of my car and was partially destroyed. Currently, 4 necron warriors lost their "green glow rods," 3 warriors are missing heads, 1 destroyer is destroyed, 1 destroyer is missing a head, 2 wraiths are dismembered [arms and lower tail], 2 destroyers are missing their guns, 6 warriors are split at the torso, and...one monolith is in pieces. Literally. But, most of the army is intact. I will need to seriously fix them, and finish some of my eldar conversions / WIP units.

Without further ado, pictures.

Destroyers and Warriors. The one that was destroyed is replaced with a new, still plastic, sprue.

Wraiths and the "Wraithlord"

The full carnage.

The one TRUE way to destroy a monolith...*sniff*...

WIIMOTE MOUSE!

As a friend informs me "that's so four months ago," I've connected my Wii's remote control to my computer via the bluetooth and now can use it as a substitute mouse and what not. It's pretty freakin' sweet as Peter Griffon would say.
Word.

Leadership 9!

So I've just had an epiphany. In the previous Eldar Codex, all basic troops [aspect warriors included] had a base leadership value of 8. The Exarch would increase this to a mighty leadership of 9. Until this wee hour of the morning, I assumed the aspect warriors still had leadership 8 base. That is, until I was skimming over the rules for a diresword and happened to glance that the aspect warriors had leadership 9 base. A past game for me could have used this base leadership 9 for when under half strength I rolled an 8 twice for a moral check. I figured that leadership 7 = no pass. Man. I've felt like my strongest craftworld warriors are pansy space elves. I know now that they're not. [I have a feeling I will get a comment yelling that they are.]
Time to look over my codex to see what else I've missed. Anyone care to point out a few misconceptions? Such as the Harlequins not being able to be targeted by ordenance or anything more than 2d6 x2 inches away?

I've played an actual Iyanden list and this isn't to far away from what I used to use. When I have enough money, I should replace either the falcon or war walkers with another wraithlord. I'll write some of my tactics on an Iyanden list later today or tomorrow.

Eldar Choices

Anyone who has looked over the eldar codex has noticed at least one thing: We have a surplus of units in each catagory. In the old codex, one could avoid having such strong competition for elite or heavy support slots by using a craftworld to mess around with the force organization chart. In the new codex, the "Craftworld Eldar" codex is null and void. Which poses a slight problem for me. Especially under heavy support. I have too many eldar units to effectively build one balanced list. With 3 wraithlords, 2 falcons, one fire prism, 2 dark reaper units, and 3 war walkers, I find it hard to find a perfect harmony of heavy support to compliment the rest of my force. Sure, I have options, but it might be hard to locate that "sweet spot" for multiple units to work in PERFECT tandem. Units can always work together, now I just need a list that can compliment itself but not fall apart if one or two units are lost.
