[Column] Warhammer 40.000: Eternal Crusade: Eldar Weaponry in the Eternal Crusade

in News & Features Discussion

This week, and for the next few weeks while we wait for some actual Eternal Crusade gameplay to dig into, we are going to take a look at the four confirmed factions, the weapons they use, and how these weapons work on the tabletop. Hopefully this will give us some insight so we can extrapolate a bit about how they will work in EC.

    Some polls made in the eternal crusade forums resulted in a great percentage of the eldar players wanting to play Warlocks, probably because they think they are all lightning and OP powers.

    i hope this will change in the future because diversity is what the eldar precisely need, specially the swooping hawks with his grenade arsenal and the Dark reapers for his efficiency at distance (imo).

    Anyways, good review and keep it coming!

    During the AMA on Friday last, the devs mentioned that the learning curve for using Warlock powers effectively would be very high, so hopefully that will keep some people honest.

     

    Personally, I am more looking forward to trying both Scorps and Banshees and seeing if they suit my playstyle.

    They'll probably put Farseer to Hero or Veteran class, to limit their numbers.

    Personally, I couldn't care less for Eldars :))

    Born from blood,
    trained to kill,
    ready to die,
    but never will!

    Elder used to be my army of choice when playing the tabletop game, tbh I died a lot but boy they were fun to use. Also great to paint as well ;-)

    Tyranids are the NPC "balancing" faction in Eternal Crusade.  Any faction that starts to get ahead will attract more and more Tyranid attention in the form of invasions and raids.

     

    Eldar Rangers will be an Elite or Hero class, which will keep thier numbers down, as they will cost Requisition points to deploy, and probably be on a long cooldown.

     

    Jetbikes will be available to all classes, if I recall correctly. Actual Shining Spears, like Warp Spiders, will have to wait until a while after release before we could see them.
