Eldar questions

[shadowfinder]

What are the rule on Eldar Banshees?

Can eldar ranger deploy 9' away at anytime in deployment? If so can how do we counter that.

In hammer and anvil deployment I couldn't deploy deep strike any where on the board because of them. it was very irritating.

Banshees: Could you be more specific? They can advance and charge, they add 3 to their charge result and declare charges up to 15" away, banshee masks deny overwatch, and opponents hit at -1 in the fight phase against banshees with an exarch.

Eldar Rangers deploy after deployment but before the start of the first battle round. They set up anywhere on the battlefield further than 9" away.

You should always be able to find room in your own deployment zone, as sucky as that can be sometimes. That means your opponent is very spread out though, and without much support for individual units. It makes them easily dispatched.

And puts their chaff units closer to you. Yes, you assault them and they die and the reapers shoot you, but the reapers were going to shoot you anyway.

Thanks for the info. The guy I was playing was not very forth coming and after i question a couple things . I just didn't want to have a argument any more.

He was doing the Rangers wrong. But it would not have mattered.

It was a learning game for me.

Ask to see the rules. From the codex. I see too many people relying on Battlescribe rules that are wrong. Most units are pretty clear in what they do. With the pace of new codexes coming out it's perfectly acceptable to ask to see the rule. I retain much better reading something than I do hearing the rules, I want to see them. And I return the favor handing my opponent my codex when they question my rule. No argument is needed. There is so much I still struggle to keep straight, but I know what mine do really well and that helps.

First time playing the guy and was told I was picking at the rule.. Rules lawyer... I never been told that before and As the game progressed I think I will not play that guy anymore sadly. I need the practice vs eldar but i am not going deal with someone like that.

Typically in that type of situation I'll say "Good job, you caught me, I had no idea you could do that. Can I see your book to look at the rule? I need to make sure I build lists so I can deal with that." At the very least it lets me learn something new. Nothing wrong with being caught with your pants down the first time, it happens to all of us. But in this case, it seems like he just doesn't understand the rule.

I was told he often miss reads or leaves out key words from a few of the other players there.

I't a new store for me and I still learning the people. Lets say he didn't like sharing or someone touching his models. He got grumpy when one of my models fell in on one of his.

Anyways I will likely not play him any time soon.

Life is to short to play with unfriendly people.
