Campaign Tips for Eldar?
I need some advice for the campaign.
I'm stuck at mission 5 or 6 and don't know what i could do better. Most of the mission i have to run uphill against bunkers and have no way of flanking them.
Sadly i have concentrated my rewards on banshees, 'course i thought, when fully upgraded, they are pretty op. They are useless against enemies they can't flank.
So do i have to have Rangers to win the campaign or is there anything else i can do?

I normally spam Wraithguards when I can

Well. They always die before they are in range.
What's the difficulty?

Hard.I now used warp spiders to flank them and when they rearranged i send in the Wraithguards.
I hate when i have to sacrifice units....

You can mostly just get through with the heroes. The warlocks warp fire crushes units in bunkers as does the grenades from the Autarch. The regular units are way less powerful than the heroes. Some of the honor guards are ok-ish though. Once you get Kayleth a melta she can solo everything on Primarch.

I have to agree on that. The best tactic i found so far against bunkers, is to let the Autarch jump over it and then let the rest of the group slaughter the enemy.
My autarch sticks to melee though, beeing able to force heavy weapon teams into melee with a big jump is just too powerfull.
Marriadian?
The imperial gaurd mission?
Really?

Ok what troops do you have, what are your upgrade's?
How can you lose when the entire campaign can be won by hit and run tatic's on every difficulty and with every faction(execpt for nids who just hit and spawn)

My useall stratagy:
Send rohan and snipe everything.
Retreat when wounded.
Use leader carpetbominb ability.
Retreat when wounded.

Or use gaurdians, granade>bunkers......
I will never understand how people can have problems with the campaign.....the units dont even move!!!!!
They are litterly just waiting there too be killed!!!!!!

Hm, in my campaigns they can shoot as far as Roshan and kill him in less than 2 seconds.
I never managed to bring any unit close enough to throw grenades, except the Autarch with a jump. But she also dies within seconds, when she is in range of the enemies.
But as i said, i never found any armor that is better than the one with 20 armor value and i picked banshees 3 times, which was a mistake.

My favorite tactics are

1) Ronahn Sniper Shot against infantries: Specially when he has free infiltration, low cooldown shot ability & an end game long riffle that deals aoe. I can play the ginder game with him alone.
2) Elenwe's Ward Spell: She is a bit dull as healer, but able to place ward on Kayleth or Veldoran means those heroes have bits of resilience to flank.
3) Kayleth's fusion riffle & aspect of fire dragon: I love her as a banshee, but the Eldar's rooster has not much to offer for anti-buildings/vehicles. So, my Kayleth is purely tailored to ambush vehicles & gun down buildings. End game mirror ability is great.
4)Veldoran's Fire & Blade : SPAM. He is Terminatus.

a) I like the barrier ability to stop enemies from shooting, forcing them come to my kill box.
b) There is an ability that refill a single target's health/energy, making the gameplay faster.
c) Kayleth & Veldoran. Their spells are just much better. In missions against eldar/IG, i put them on shooting mode, other time to safeguard my shooting heroes. (i.e: bloodletters)
d) Health Upgrade seems too expensive for their use, but better than none. Extra resource is dumped into heavy weapon teams ONLY for spacehulk defense mission, ork defense mission, Kyras's endless blood crushers. Paired with F2 turrets most of the time.

Eldar Vs Eldar Plotline is pure garbage btw. Hate those 2 missions.
