This will be hilarious. I love the Space Marines (Dark Angles has great lore )and what have you, now that being said, the Eldar Alpha players are going to have fun showing Flagship LSM how war is done. Being the underdog is going to pay off. I will project on launch player base% LSM = ~ 50%-60% CSM = ~ 35%-25% Eldar = ~ 15% Sheer arbitrary numbers, but the point is, being out numbered, with very specialized classes, and advanced weapons, the Eldar players will have an really run time throwing down. *I think the numbers of player base% per race will memic close to the lore of 40k.
Until everyone realises that Eldar have the best toys. Then I can see a big switch in faction populations happening. Which is good. GW's obsession with spez mehrines is not healthy for 40k imho. It will good for the other factions to get a good airing.
Agreed. Its going to be funny and sexy. Might I add Stealth units backed by warlocks. Its going to be brutal. * I should have stated , %base of race available on launch.(LSM>CSM>ELDAR)
they will just reproduce themselfes until the elevator is overflown with orks and they climb to the surface! orklevator!
For now, regardless of population matches will still be 16v16, I think we can fill a 16 player match ! After that... well, we'll just use all our Eldar Trickery it'll totally work!
Wait until a warlock (such as my future self) is a heal bot (AoE healing) and conseals a squad of howling banshees. I truly don't think the LSM/CSM know what they are in for.
