I'm anxious to see what will be the classes of Eldar. So far we have SM, Ork and recently CSM. I see duration between Ork and CSM newsletter around 2 weeks, Eldar may come in same time, hopefully. As we can see the classes structure atm is quite predictable for Eldar (maybe). Because other races have similar structure like this: 1. fast attack (raptor, stormboy) 2. heavy fire support (havoc, devastator) 3. basic infantry (chosen) 4. rare units (terminator, nob) 5. "don't know" (stealth maybe) So my guess Eldar will be: 1. warp spider 2. dark reaper (fire dragon is close-med range, shadow spectre extreme range, neither satisfied both fire support role and no sniper gameplay) 3. dire avenger 4. warlock or farseer 5. but with number 1. all 3 revealed races have similar jumping melee units. Eldar on the other hand, warp spider and striking scorpion/ banshee are not similar to those. So my guess is everything rely on fifth class, is this fan vote class or they just left out in case? Any thought about Eldar classes. Have some fun discussion until we get Eldar newsletter in our mailbox.
as for the warpspider they did say somewhere the mechanics were a bit of a problem, so they wouldn't implement it at launch. In the Q&A they sort of confirmed, the Swooping Hawk would be in, though Also, they mentioned several times classes would be asymmetrical, so...
Its tricky If they haven't confirmed swooping hawks already (which breaks the meta, swooping hawks jumps yeah, but they are not melee, so they would be needing yet another slot for melee) it would be a bit easier 1-Dire Avenger (your general dude) 2-Swooping Hawks (your jump dude) 3-Warlock (as farseer would be like exarchs of the seer path becoming trapped on it) (your psyker/heavy weapons dude) 4-Howling Banshee/Striking Scorpion/Dark Reaper, really could be anything 5-However dont get picked on 4
Oh boy, do you know how many times it was discussed already? I just won't say another word on such a topic until the actual official info arrives.
uhm looks like the problem still remains. Melee class is essential so I don't think they will leave both banshee and scorpion out of this. But another problem is, if they confirmed swooping hawk, we need another real heavy weapon class. As for other races, heavy weapon can fulfill both infantry suppression and anti-armored unit. So there will be -dire avenger -swooping hawk -psyker/exarch (I can't think of any rare unit than these) -melee - ??again Maybe the fifth class will be both anti-armored and heavy weapon Any thought?
Pretty sure this is meant to be part of the "Our 5 Classes..." thread. All the speculation on classes is discussed in depth there.
