The Dark Angels and the Eldar came together last night in a 2,500 point conflict that matched the Dark Angel's Super Heavy army against the fire-power of the Eldar.
The Dark Angels brought a new Super Heavy Walker (a Warhound?) and three of the Imperial Knights. While the Eldar fielded no Super Heavies, The Farseer War Council did release a full cohort of Warlock Council for the battle along with an army sporting a potential of 9 STR 10 shots and 18 STR 8 shots per turn.
With a combination of avoidance and assault the Eldar were able to keep the Super Heavies largely at bay and ran out winners.
While this shows that the Super Heavies are beatable, I would consider the amount of fire-power the Eldar were able to bring pivotal in their victory, along with the fact that the DA did not have enough support units as a result of fielding such expensive models.
It may be unlikely that the DA will trundle out all four Super Heavies again in the same army, but if they do, and you will be forewarned, you will need to have a similar amount of weaponry to take them on, and just hope that they don't roll a 6 with their D-weapons! I got one, ouch!
Be bold, be brave and choose your fights carefully!
