Their strength is flanking and Ground Pound, the latter of which makes it possible for the Imperial Guard's army to focus fire your stunned forces down. How to get to Tier 2 though? It's the Sentinels that will give you the most problems in the opening phases of a match. But as this guide will focus on Tier 1, we'll skip that for another guide. Meanwhile, upgraded Guardians will be very annoying for his infantry. You'll field Wraithguard and an Autarch there, which will give him a hard time. Turtling in Tier 1Your long run goal will be to get safely into Tier 2, where the true strength of Eldar fighting off the Imperial Guard lies. As with all Eldar match-ups, you need to adapt based on what your enemy does, so there's actually no 100% safe, cookie-cutter strategy you can trust to succeed. This mostly comes from the possibility of early pushing Sentinels. The first thing you need to know about fighting Imperial Guard is that Imperial Guard can pull off a very strong Tier 1 against any race.
