That's another thing that ticked me off! They made all the Eldar female, apart from the tank crews.

But apart from that the seer council rock, i went through 2 full marines squads and an assault squad with them last night, whle my fire prisms jumped into the middle of their base and took it apart.

Sorry, all except tank crews and one unit :roll:

Sure, the Eldar are pansies but the constant high pitched sing song voices are really annoying when your in the middle of a firefight, more so than the lunatic Chaos voices.

The Chaos voices don't bug me in the least. And I don't play the Eldar very often so I don't have a problem with them.

Actually, only the Farseer and Howling Banshees are female. The others are soft-spoken, but definitely male.

And the bone singers and the guardians. Never used warp spiders so i don't know and IIRC the rangers are kinda in between.

EDIT: and the Avatar isn't male or female it's Badass !

Try Zooming in, man.

Bonsingers may be either one, I never checked. But that still makes the vast majority of Eldar units male.

I'm disappointed on the single-player campaign. It's fairly short, and you only get to play the marines :?

Okay, might as well put this here. In "Sacrifice," the seventh mission in the campaign, where in the hell does that big ol' Eldar base in the bottom corner next to the river come from? I spent forever searching for the webway gate in that direction with no success, and then suddenly, right after I capture the bridge, an army comes out of that direction. While desperately fighting them off, I send some assault marines to see just what the hell is back there, and lo and behold, there's an entire base that was not there two minutes before. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over.

1. boneweaver's can teleport
2. all you have to do, is build 1 web way gate, and the whole force base can teleport there.
3.. actually, it's like the free oblitorator/raptor packs in another level. ( kept forces camped right over their Teleport zones. literally, I built minefields a secondary chaple and a load of defenses right overwatching that area, with two dreadnaughts...

literally they teleport the whole base, at the exact moment you capture the bridge...

Yes, but first they need a webway gate there. There wasn't one. And I had Marines go all over and through there, physically walking over every inch just to make sure that there wasn't a cloaked building. They didn't steer around any invisible obstacles.

Right, I'm doing that mission again and I'm surrounding that area with Predators before I capture the bridge this time. That'll teach them...

1 leagally doing it they do not need a webway to teleport a fuckload of spiders and bonesingers, and they can jump the majority of their heavy weapons across the chasm.

I mentioned, I overwatched the area alread.

they instantly jump/teleport the spiders and the fireprisms. The base just appears there.
