Some examples include the Brightlance (designed for killing Heavy Tanks), the Star Cannon (designed to kill Heavy Infantry), and the Scatter Laser (designed for killing light infantry). Most Eldar vehicles can also be equipped with weapons designed for various purposes. While no Eldar vehicle has the maximum armour value (14), they often have upgrades and special abilities which can compensate for this and make them more effective than heavier vehicles. However, Dire Avengers can be outfitted for either melee or ranged combat, though they will not be as able as a more specialised aspect.Įldar vehicles, unlike their infantry counterparts, are very tough and hard to kill because of many evasive and shielding benefits. In contrast, the Eldar Dark Reaper excels at long range fighting but will almost certainly be taken down in melee by even moderately skilled/equipped melee units.

For example, the Eldar Howling Banshees are melee specialists and, with their power weapons and other special rules, excel at killing heavily armored infantry units in melee combat, while using them for ranged attacks often leads to failure. Unlike some other armies which have versatile units, the Eldar have many specialists and few which can handle many roles.
