For me it's without doubt the Dark Eldars. I've been playing them for 1 day and they already have been amazing and the most amazing thing about them is... SOULSTORM! Yeah, I have to admit it's not that great but it's practically free (Talos after battles and build 'soul farms' and your souls will be above 5000 or so). Their Raven is effective against all unit types cool! Ravagers own almost every ground force but their best of all is their Archon and I have to admit they're the best in the game espcially with the Incubi upgrades and the madness spell upgrade. They have one big weakness though and that is they have only ONE unit that can detect infiltration and that's their secondary commader...

Before in the Dark Crusade my fave was Space Marines and Eldar but these dark Eldars are almost invincible, still haven't lost with them.

yeah, they're okay

I love the fact that you suck souls from the dead with them

but I have to say that the sisters of battle are pretty cool

though nothing can beat the necrons

eldar are the best because of their ability to turn buildings invisible imagine a battlefield full of invisible turrets ive tried this and though it left me out of pocket on rescources it was worth it as i had an impenitrable defence grid.

Eldar are great (as I said they used to be a fave for me) but really the tactic you mentioned is easily counterable. I've tried small patches of that before aswel. Use Fire Prisms if you want to own everything with eldar. They have the best vehicles and great infantry but they're just too costy for me.

And BTW, I have to agree Necron still own but the thing is they haven't got anything new (besides Deciever which is still weaker than the Nightbringer.) which is why I don't play them, their 1 weakness is to mass infantry at the start because of the slow build rate.

BTW, I suck at Sisters of Battle -_- so I don't play them.

My favourites are Eldar. - They have unit specialized in melee, ranged combat, vehicle counters...
- Each warlock can detect invisible units
- Eldar are extremely mobile - even their builders can teleport! You can teleport with a builder behind an enemy base, build Webway gate (witch can be infiltrated) and attack from behind...
- Eldar can are a "hit and run" race, but also have strong army for direct assault.
- The Farseer - looks weak, but can cause heavy damage on enemy army, buildings and heroes.
- Infiltrated base AND THE DEFENSIVE TURRETS
- Avatar - unlike most other "master units", Avatar speeds production times, makes surrounding units immune to morale damage and is also devastating in melee combat.

Orks are good when you research the upgrade for "no cost Sluggas" - you can overwhelm enemies with masses of Slugga Boys...

Necrons are very strong against the Dark Eldar; only few units even have morale...

I think Dark Eldar are pretty weak because their units have relatively low hit points; yes, the warp beasts are strong, but if they loose morale they are pretty useless... Dark Eldar don't even have defensive turrets; but the Dails is good...

i agree with most people here eldar are indeed the best race. i like to build a webway gate in the enemys base the relocate a load of d-cannons into the base. TOTAL ANNAILATION
