Can't choose Eldar anymore

[GinormousAX]

So I've been going through the new units in the firepower pack by playing each faction to try them out. I'm getting down to the last two which are Tau and Eldar. But when I went to choose Eldar today they aren't selectable in the menu? I can't even choose it for the AI to play which is weird since I've been playing against them a lot when it randoms into it. They have all the DLC units to play too I just can't seem to select them myself to be in game or play as.

Anyone else having this problem? Very strange.

Nevermind I'm dumb I forgot they use their proper name Craftworld Aeldari.

If you coud make Reapers work, tell me, tryed it now several times, but they where gimped to hard to stay alive...
There Main Target (Heavy Inf) ever wins against them. Reapers kill 1 or best case 2 SM/CSM modells but get killed in one or 2 Return Shots...

Aren't they Anti-Vehicle not Anti-Infantry?

Fire Dragons are anti-vehicle. Dark Reapers are anti-heavy-infantry.

in second edition they where anti vehicle, in the newer editions they got an anti vehicle rocket as well again (and anti air) . there main stay with there basic rocket is anti Heavy Inf. Armor Piercing 3 means SM has no Armor role against the hit, str 5 means you only need a 3+ to wound a SM (Taffness 4) , and all this on range 48 (for compare: a sniper rifle has range 36, so think about the fits the enemy gets with this guys) with 2 shots per modell. the fluff text is nearly like in SE. because there they where the ban of fast moveing vehicles that got a Aim penalty because of that. the Khaindar Visors in SE negated that penalty when they shot at such vehicles.

Dark Reapers are great I'm not sure what your problem is with them. For anti-infantry just switch to starswarm missiles. I greatly disliked how Eldar played without having Dark Reapers in their army. Fire Dragons do melt vehicles but having them as their main early game anti-vehicle option was miserable. Every other faction had long ranged anti-vehicle while the squishy Eldar were stuck with one melee unit. Reapers finally give them a great ranged option that also helps against infantry. It just sucks they don't get to move after shooting like every other infantry unit.

my problem with them is that i need 4 units of them to get down a simple sm unit, but it only needs 2 Sm units to take down one reaper unit, and yes i already use the rockets that do more dmg against them. Reapers are a waste of resources in Gladius, you kill a SM Unit much faster with Fire Dragons.
