    The Avatar remains one of the few decent units in the index. I have no problem with the nerfs, but with the debilitating effect of phantasm, it's clear that the Aeldari dominance was based on one stratagem.

    • @ProxyHammer1
      @ProxyHammer1  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Very likely, but also because of the vast amount of buffs that other factions got. Tau and DE are a horde army basically now which make movement shenanigans tougher to pull off

    I'm busy building mine at the moment, hope to get him on the table soon. I want run him behind my wraithblades as a follow up mid board control/threat unit, or the other way around depending on the matchup. I find with wraithblades alone their ability to wall and/or smash through my opponent's midfield as well as hold center objective is quite stretched, so either I end up parking in the middle where they're too expensive to just hold one objective and my opponent just kills everything else.

    • @ProxyHammer1
      @ProxyHammer1  Před 4 měsíci +2

      My advice would be to hold both flanks one with the avatar on the weak side and one with blades on the strong side 😉

      There are plenty of great videos online giving advice on how to paint the Avatar. From advanced to speed painting. Don't miss out on one of our best units. Also, remember it's your model, it doesn't have to look like the box art at all. It can be any colour you want it to be.

    I haven't taken yriel with me for a long time. But can yriel set up the avatar again?
    If so, then it makes sense to set up the avatar at the beginning. This makes the opponent build up against the avatar and you can then simply reposition it at the end.
    But that's just a quick thought. But I've got my yriel lying around somewhere. It's still made of metal and I haven't used it since the fourth edition. (It's probably in the same case as my Fuegan and my old Yain zar).
    I mostly use my own designed models. (I had them designed by an artist who also does the artwork for my books, as some of these models fit very well into an Eldar army, I like them very much).

    • @ProxyHammer1
      @ProxyHammer1  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Yriel is fun I think you really have to have a plan with him though as his ability is weaker than other redeployment abilities in the game

    • @jannispantelatos3650
      @jannispantelatos3650 Před 4 měsíci +1

      @@criticalcommenter Yes, what you are doing here is the epitome of pettiness.
      Since it's utter rubbish to give credits for something that hasn't even been shown but you're directly accusing of theft, it shows that you don't even know how such a process works.
      Then once for you as the epidome of the petty man.
      A: these are models developed from characters in my novel. So buy the book and have a look at the imprint. Then you can learn from there how it works to credit people for their work.
      The obligation to mention only applies if I show the figure/picture or something similar and not just if I talk about it.
      And what makes me think that you are the centre of pettiness?
      It was clear from the context that they were designs for my books, based on my specifications. Riding around on something like that when it was about something else is not accurate. That's the behaviour of people who get upset about everything but aren't any better themselves or even have the slightest hint of being solution-oriented.
      To the question of why people like you annoy me so much, so that this can be answered directly. A fruitful conversation could have led to the question of whether it is possible to design your own army in such a way. A platform like this would be perfect for that.
      Eldar have 4-5 types of models that urgently need to be renewed. If you join forces, you can organise this yourself extremely quickly and at a reasonable cost. But such a discourse is probably pretty fruitless with a person like you.

D-Cannons are also excellent as each one is getting an average of 3 attacks hitting on 3+ with a reroll to hit and wound killing 1-2 as well. Against them screening also works wonders block ing their movement with things like shroud runners and rangers and getting to the objectives first do they can’t deepstrike on top of them.
