I played once against green tide and it def felt rough. Not at all unwinnable, but they sure took a lot of punishment and it was hard to score primarys.
I think the stock of infiltrators is going up and so is the death jester.
This is what I'll be trying as well :-)
Also Shining Spears!
Not the best solutions, but Eldar don't have universal kill all units like Breachers in Mont Ka.
Rangers and scorpions would be my bet. The unkillable green tide wants to hold you off of objectives. 2 squads of Rangers will hold them back for one turn by infiltrating and funnelling forces to one part of the table, where it should have to face your anti- inf shooting.
I'm not sure it's possible to pull it off for the 2nd turn, but scorpions are how you would do it.
Slow their charges with chaff units the first turn or 2 while takin pot shots with indirect
Try to honeypot their strong shit to one side of the board with wraithblades or Avatar and use the rest of the army to score and make the rest of their game inconvenient.
If they don’t take the bait, just take die and cry.
Easy.
Direavengers, with Asurman on objectives together with Skyrunner farseer for rerolls and avatar of khaine. 700 points, double overwatch squad, not very good prob but pretty funny 😆
27 windriders, 18 shroud runners and stuff that can block them like scorpions or rangers. Maybe even a wave serpent just to keep their moment in check.
We should get a codex around Q1 2026 at this rate. Hopefully we can get a bit of help then. Otherwise “TO THE BOTTOM OF THE WIN RATES WE GO, MEN!” Maybe if we stay down there a bit we can get our old Fate dice that were useful back?

I too had to do this. 3 turns of melee before I successfully cleared some space and by then it was all over
It looks like it'll be rough because the units useful vs boyz swarm won't be good vs those dread and nob spam lists.
Prisms

Windriders with Shroud runner Support actually clear both boyz and Killa-Kanz well.
Wind riders, swooping hawks 10 man and baharoth. Or just shroud runners as they have volume and fast with scout so decently usable

Corsair voidreavers with scout 7 and move 7 to come up the board turn one and float to where they’re needed to move block on 2

Lots of windriders or vypers. Shurikan cannons everywhere for everyone.
I like dire avengers will become a lot better with 4+ overwatch but that’s just me

Orks Will likely be doing mega nobz right? Rather than boyz doesn't they mean them have 2+,4++?
Scatter lasers. Lots of scatter lasers.
To put my knife ears away for now and enjoy this rad codex as I paint my Stompa.
