Editing Eldar War Walker (section)

== Another Perspective ==

The Eldar almost exclusively travel by utilizing the [[Webway]], which is best described by using the analogy of veins and arteries. You have the thicker “main” veins which are allegedly big enough to transport an entire [[craftworld]], which then branch off into smaller and smaller ones as you go further out to the extremities, which in this case is the edges or less traveled areas of the old Eldar Empire. The War Walker is what the Eldar use when the Webways get too small for something like a [[Falcon]] (don’t look at the comparative sizes of the table top models since GeeDubs' stance on realistically proportioned vehicles could be politely described as “out of proportion so they don’t take up the whole table” and impolitely described as “utterly fucked”) but more firepower is required than what can be brought to bear by jetbikes or [[Vyper|Vypers]]. Also used in particularly rough terrain, because have you ever seen that bit from [[Star Wars|The Return of the Jedi]] when the Stormtroopers are on their <s>version of jetbikes</s> Speeder bikes and they crash into trees while distracted? Space Elf reflexes aren’t infallible, especially when you are being chased by a tentacled space beastie du jour or a [[Land Speeder]].

On the table they really aren’t a bad choice. 60 points buys you a 10/10/10 2 hull point walker with a 5++ and two [[Shuriken Cannon]]s with a choice to upgrade either of these to more gribby weapons. War Walkers are also carriers of ground-to-air weapons, so they tend to see some use against lists that feature flyers predominately. The biggest problem with War Walkers is that they compete for the heavy support slots against things like [[Wraithlords]] and [[Dark Reapers]]. And I mean, really, are you going to take a bunch of chicken walkers or a ‘mech powered by the pure [[rage]] of a ghost?
