Think of the Eldar as a main battle group and the Dark Eldar as a scout and guerilla fighting force. The corsairs are a mix, almost like a special forces. they can hit hard and fast while still being able to take more punishment than the dark eldar, but not as much as the craftworlders.<br /><br />Mech is a little unavoidable true, but the mech units are pretty hard hitting and really support massed infantry well, at least in my opinion.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-26082624456791663402012-01-30T20:25:50.886-05:002012-01-30T20:25:50.886-05:00Which is a fair observation as I haven't playe...Which is a fair observation as I haven't played Dark Eldar in many, many years. Clearly that is what the designers wanted giving them a number of dark eldar items but I don't see how as they are missing the key dark eldar units. They have a webway portal but no wyches, they have a venom but nothing to put in it (other than harlies). They don't get pain tokens. They do get the BS4 so they can shoot good but they don't have the poison weapons that the dark eldar have (which isn't all bad). I think the biggest problem for a foot list is that all the fast attack and heavy support items are mech.steinerphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18062735683743692873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-70348428690876693922012-01-30T19:58:15.369-05:002012-01-30T19:58:15.369-05:00I can see where it could encourage mech, but I thi...I can see where it could encourage mech, but I think everybody leans towards that because of the current meta that seems to have taken hold early on in 5th edition.<br /><br />I have made several good foot lists. I have to try them out and see how they do on the local scene, which has kind of gone back to doing foot lists as the all mech list is pretty easily dealt with.<br /><br />I have to disagree with some of your points though. It seems like you are approaching the list as a modified Craftworld army and it really is not.<br />Having played Dark Eldar and Craftworld Eldar for a long time i see it as a hybrid of both. This makes it its own army with its own unique abilities and approaches to strategy. <br />Granted my opinions may change when I play the army list a few times and then i may totally agree with your points lol. its all armchair quarterbacking until i get it on the table.SeerKarandrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864552771430102654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096783199273382184.post-16385593256266247362012-01-30T19:09:41.862-05:002012-01-30T19:09:41.862-05:00Hope you don't mind me posting a link to my ne...Hope you don't mind me posting a link to my new blog but I just did a similar look at the corsairs after getting in a few games with them. Overall I have to say that I really like the list, even though it does encourage mech pretty heavily. I can't say I am a fan of the void dreamer though.<br /><br />http://aspectsofthevoid.blogspot.com/2012/01/corsair-army-list-analysis.htmlsteinerphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569916263755015605noreply@blogger.com
