Eldar (one Craftworld) Vs Empire (Courscant)

Okay here goes, we've all seen the Imperium of Man versus the Empire... We've seen the Necron's (Thanks Necron Lord, you began the movement away from the IoM and included a few of the others) meets Star Trek, when the Necron's are on a Joy Ride, but here something different. (I Hope)
Anyway Deep on an un named Generic Eldar CraftWorld, a Farseer stirs, he's seen the future, and the Eldare must act. The Mission is too kill the Emporer and Darth Vader, and to strike at the heart of the Empire, Courscant. The Craftworld gathers itself for war and moves, the Avatar is awoken, and the Eldar go to war.

The Battle itself is a two fold one, luckily the Eldar have a Web Way exit just outside the range of the Courscant system defences. (This is too allow the fleet to emerge from the web, without bypassing the defence platforms.)
Meanwhile on the Planet a exit the size of the Avatar exists, a force will sent through this exit, to cause havok, led by the Avatar. The main forces are held onboard the fleet of course, including a few Titans, the Eldar fleet is too fight it's way to courscant and land the bulk of the Eldar Forces, the Ground troops already present aim to take out Shield generator's and secure a landing zone.

(65% of the Advance force is Aspect Warriors, the 'Heavy Weapons platforms' consist of the usual, the Eldar are deploying with an emphasis even greater than usual on speed here, so Dark Reaper's are in a minority. No particular reason for this debate wise, I think it just adds to the speed factor... Actually Alter the size of the Webway Portal, it's big enough to let a Falcon Grav Tank out, or vechicle of that class...)

So then decide, do the Eldar succeed to killing their Target's, and striking a serious blow to the Heart of the Empire... and if they d, at what cost to the Craftworld. (Men Wise)

Well if the Eldar have titans i would have to go with them bcuz i don't think the empire has anything that can match up with those things. Of course i don't read the novels so i could be wrong. The stormies would fair well against dire avengers and fire dragons but Howling B. and Striking S. would really eat them (stormies) up. I don't think that the eldar Farseers could kill vadar and the emp. by themselfs, the avatars would have to be present

The Titan's are onboard the Fleet, coming in the long way. (Through the defenses.) Why did I do it this way, well, I myself am guilty of IoM titan's kick empire ass in a ground war syndrome (Well it's true but)... Eldar Titan's are just as bad for the Empire. I couldn't see them not coming in such a huge Planet wide battle, but I didn't want them there from the start, hence the ground advance attack, (Without Titan's or the Big stuff) Sure it gives the Empire an early advantage, the AT-AT's will last some time... well until they hit a D-Cannon on Anti-Grav Platform, or similar mode of transport... (Got to love D-Cannon's You get to cut out the whole armour argument... it makes life so much... erm easier)

Oh the Avatar is off course leading the advance attack, like he's going to sit in some Starship when there are people to kill on the ground

As for a Farseer not being the equal of Vader or the Emps, thats debatable, remember that a FArseer has had several hundred years, potentially, to train in his powers, and Doom is the ULTIMATE power. (Got to love the whole double the chances of a person dying aspect of that power...) okay it's not the ultimate power, but it's a good opening move.

Actually that reminds me, two Farseers in the advance attack group, with approiate number of Warlock bodygaurds/assitants. Lets say there are three seperate combat groups, one led by the Avatar himself the other two led by a Farseer each.) The rest of the forces are onboard the fleet, guiding it until orbit is secure and landings can begin.

(Oh PS, if the Empire can inflict massive casualty's on the Eldar, yet still lose then it will be a draw, the Eldar can ill afford mammoth loses, so while they achieved their objective, and the Eldar race is helped, the Craftworld will be decimated, and forced into a lifestyle similar to Iyadan's which is holding off the inevitable end... Sure the Emipre will fall etc, but the Eldar will lose eventually another Craftworld, not good for the Eldar at all)

Wow, recognition.

Eldar titans, crew of three, same overall firepower as their IoM equivelent, and far swifter. A major craftworld is equivelent in mass to a completed DS2 and is studded with weapons.

They have vast fleetsize webway portals on them and can fit fleets though them. with time to prepare I hate to say it, but the empire is screwed. They could possibly plug themselves into the infinity circuit of the craftworld and kill vader and the emperor with mindwar.if all else failed, and they hought the secies was a risk they would likely flee into the webway, and crash the craftworld into the imperial place. This is extreme though.
