I don't want to go OT but here I only want to report that in the Eldar expansion manual (page 5), Eldar warriors attack with 3 white dice, even if in the summary sheet you will find 2 white dice.
Strange!
I've always considered that a misprint because the basic Eldar Warriors are not equipped with any close combat weapons so they would in no way be equal to their Power Sword armed leader in close combat
It's not. The eldar warriors at least definitely get 3W because it's written in the book and it actually says it's because they're more dangerous in hand-hand than marines. 3W is also on the card. The card says eldar with heavy weapons get 2W, the book doesn't mention that the heavy weapons get less so I would say the card must be right, 2W for heavy weapons and 3W for shuriken catapults.

I know it doesn't really seem right that the exarch with a force sword is no better but that can be heavily upgraded (4W when attacking and a reroll). It can also destroy bulkheads if you transfer the MD rules over (only commanders can attack bulkheads in hand-hand).
