They may be better than your average Guardsman in terms of equipment and reflexes, but they are not THAT superior that Corsairs defeating that many times their own number is believable. As seen from FW IA11, they are basically Eldar Guardians, armed with lasblasters and with some shuriken weaponry mixed in. I was talking about Eldar Corsairs, which fight equally damage point for damage point. At close quarters those guys will probably be ablee to make up for their lack of numbers compared to a human crew.Д¬onsidering that only Space Marines and Dark Eldar get any bonuses when boarding I think the difference between Eldar and Humans is definitly too minute to show up in the game.ДЄctually you are incorrect on the bonuses. The Eldar do have superior reflexes compared to humans and I imagine that Shurikan fire in close confines would not be a pleasent experience.ДЄnd the boarding parties probably consist of strike teams of Striking Scorpians and Fire Dragons. Yet we know also from 40K that Eldar are not THAT much better than humans so it creates disbelief that an Eldar corsair could fight off many times his own numbers (especially now that we have Eldar corsair stats from Forgeworld's IA11). Eldar ships, damage point for damage point, can fight as well as Imperial boarding parties, yet we never hear of Eldar ships being a huge flying ghetto crawling with Eldar in every space. There is a fine line between big and getting ludicrous, like people claiming Warlords are the size of mountains based on some inaccurate artwork.ДЄlso larger sizes start becoming inconsistent in interactions with that of the other races. Warships have to be armored, with redundant systems. Transports can be basically empty boxes with engines attached. A warship is different from a mass conveyer.

It's like he IS from the Imperium, sent back in time and across dimensions.'Д«y the way everything is big in 40k I imagined that they are at least 20km long.ДЄ 6km long mobile warship is anything but small. 'Brother Coa (and the OP Tadashi) is like, the biggest IoM fanboy I can think of here.

The Emperor doesn't have a GKs unshakable faith in the Emperor which is.basically himself? Also he doesn't have a Grey Knight's unshakable faith in the Emperor. The Emperor might be the greatest psyker that ever lived, but he doesn't have the specialized training that a Grey Knight has. 'The day I have a sit-down with a pansy elf, magic mushroom, or commie frog is the day I put a bolt shell in my head.' Class: Emperor (Block I) Type: Super Battleship Category: Battleship Status: Active Complement Officers: 780 Crew: 6800 Dimensions Length: 2324 m Beam: 775. They're a threat to the Imperium of Man like sharks are a threat to the US Army.' I just don't like people misconstruing things to say that it means that they're somehow a huge galactic threat. None shall stand against the Crusade of the Righteous!!!
