Thanks!

While I agree that Eldar carrying heavy weapons are really slow I never thought of giving them 3W in hand-to-hand: making them stronger than the ones carrying light weapons seems odd to me...
Either way, as you say it is not straight-forward to give any Eldar 3W when that's what the exarch gets - however, the exarch probably has at least one card that boosts up his hand-to-hand abilities.

Some more questions, this time regarding the dreadnaught and / or weapons.
How do other people handle the plasma gun on a dreadnaught:
Is really on the left or on the right side, meaning that often the dreadnaught might not be able to attack opponents with it that are in full line of sight (even in the same corridor...)?
Or can the straight/diagonal line be drawn from any of the four fields covered by the dreadnaught?

Similar: taking cover behind a tarantula doesn't help against the plasma gun?

When firing Las-canon and tarantula: the player shooting them has to announce in advance (i.e. before rolling the dice) whether he'll concentrate the fire on one opponent or not?
Firing, then changing one's mind depending on the result of the dice is not allowed, I assume?
(I'd actually like to apply a similar rule to the assault gun: at least when you want to attack the dreadnaught you must announce it prior to rolling the dice. This way if one rolls 0-4, the shot is lost - it cannot be distributed on weaker opponents instead).

Please let me know how you play this, many thanks in advance!
