Hi, me and my friend are relatively new to the mod. We enjoy playing 1v1 vs eachother. I play Chaos Space Marines and he plays Eldar.

We need help figuring out a strategy to defend against the CSM Attack Bike at the start of the game. When I open with Cultist, Builder, Cultist, Builder, and then rush a Chaos Temple, using the builder's ability that drains health to build faster, then instantly get a bike and send it in, he ends up being so far behind it is pretty much impossible for him to recover. I can kill anything he has at the time, builders, units, etc.

He has tried many ways to defend against this, squads with grenades, turrets, etc, but nothing has worked. If he builds squads I can reliably kill them all using the bike spin ability and by getting a Chaos Armory and attaching a Flamer to my bike. If he rushes a turret I can repeatedly send my bike in, spin on his builders, and then leave, putting him behind.

While I am doing this my cultists are taking full control of every Strategic Point on the map, meaning I have exponentially more resource generation and the game snowballs out of control.

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks :)

Can't the eldar player just build a bike from webway gate to even it out?

I don't know, it always felt like the eldar bike did relatively lighter damage compared to Chaos bikes.

Banshee with fleet. But it'll work only in larger map.
