I am a hardcore tournament player who has played in Rogue Trader Tournaments from Salem, Oregon, down to San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles and San Diego, California. I have also played in Jacksonville, Orlando and Tampa, Florida. Right now I am playing and living in Phoenix AZ, but the tournament scene is rather dead for a city of this size, so I might need to join a league.
I try to attend as many large tournaments as I can. Although the GW Grand Tournaments get a bad rap, I enjoy them, and my goal is to win a GT one day. Also I attended Adepticon in Chicago every year and if you are a fan of 40k, this is a must because there is no other event quite like it.
Building a take all comers Eldar list is extremely challenging. I've found I can build lists that I can do well with against IG, GK and SW, but then get smacked around by Orks.
With your particular Eldar army, can you handle mechanized IG? I don't remember any battle reports, but it appears like it would be a very uphill battle.
Can you finish a full game with this army? Unless you drastically change your Eldar, I would think you really need the later rounds to pull off a win.
And does it benefit you to simply win or win big(I've not read anything on Adepticon this year)? If you really need to win big each game, Eldar may be handicapping you.
Don't fight it. Don't believe the internet, if you're confident with them they win all over the place.

ReplyDeleteHere is the thing, you win a tournament with Grey Knights (as well as IG and SW), and everyone expects it, and they know it is because of your list.
ReplyDeleteAh, but if you win with a crappy codex? Then the scalds will sing your praises and your name will be written into the book of life!
And when you don't win... well... then you are cursing yourself for not bringing the army you could have won with. :P

Play the army you are most comfortable with and if that happens to screw with the meta a little bit then all the better.
