So Lord Commander Eidolon is an arrogant bastard, we established that, but perhaps he has some rights to brag about his abilities. The rules for Eidolon are awesome. He wields a master-crafted thunder hammer which doesn't give any penalty for initiative on the turn that he charges into combat. As a bonus to that, his sonic screamer give him initiative 6. With his 4 attacks, 5 on the charge, he can easily kill 3 marines per turn and later overrun them (which you can do in 30k, I guess marines were more frightened back then, or they didn't like fighting their brothers which is understandable).
I think Eidolon would suite best together with a close combat unit such as assault marines or palatine blades. Imagine 5 blades plus Eidolon plus power weapons plus jump packs! (Drooling) The only downside is that he is quite points heavy. At 185p base or 205p with a jump pack I find him a bit too expensive in games of 1000p. One fifth of the total points is a lot for a HQ. Easily a nice choice for 1500p and more though. Look forward to seeing him in action!
