My fifth game at ETC 2014 was with Olof Svensson extremely positive sweden Eldar player.
His list is so good that none from our team actully wanted to play with it. A boeing of warlocks with Eldrad has higher probability to get fortune than a normal 2 farseer list. Jetbikes and scoring serpents are a must for any eldar list today:)

We played a mission with 6 markers of different point costs and a deadlock maelstrom, when you draw 6 objective cards turn 1...
MISSION 5
Objective #1: Eternal War: The Scouring - Each player places three markers at least 6 "from the edge, 12" from each other worth 1, 2 and 3 points (point values noted in secret by the player deploying them). Before rolling to seize the initiative, you reveal the value of each marker.
Objective #2: Maelstrom of War: Deadlock
Objective #3: Killpoints
Deployment: Vanguard Strike
