Enginseer with a Wrench




Fort Worth, Tx

So I am attending the Alamo GT down in San Antonio, TX at the end of May. I am like 99% sure I'm taking my eldar and am looking to maybe make some additions/changes to my army. I am thinking of getting a 2nd farseer on a bike and 2 hornets w/pulse lasers. Here's the list I'm going to playtest tonight. Let me know your thoughts:

Eldar CAD
Farseer - bike, spear
Farseer - bike, spear
2x3 scat bikes
5 rangers
10 dire avengers - exarch w/shimmer shield
Wraithguard - d-scythes in a serpent w/starcannons, shuriken cannon, holo field and ghostwalk
2 hornets - pulse lasers (maybe outflanking)

Aspect Host
6 Hawks - exarch
5 Spiders - exarch w/twin-linked gun
5 Reapers - exarch and both missiles

LoW:
WK - sword/shield, scatter laser

So to run this I will need to buy a jetseer, 2 hornets and swooping hawks. I am going to be proxying tonight to see if I like the way the army plays.

Thoughts?

Rangers are useless, change them for another bike squad even if it means not upgrading the guns on the 3rd squad. They will make fast objective grabbers and can finish off stragglers.

Don't bother with the TL gun on the Warp Spiders the Exarch already has BS 6 thanks to the Aspect host. Waste of points.

If you have any points leftover, look into holo fields for the Hornets OR make your Swooping Hawk squad bigger.

I would scrap the guardians and go with more scatt bikes. I would also find room for the spirit stone on one of the farseers. Ditch the rangers and go with a 3rd hornet if you can get your hands on one. In the aspect host, I would drop the reapers and go with another unit of hawks or warp spiders. I can't say enough good things about how well warp spiders perform.

As others have mentioned, rangers bring very little value. More scat bikes would give you a better bang for your buck.

Shimmer shields are really bad, mathhammer wise. They lower the dakka-per point of your unit, and also lower the resilience per point. Simply put, with the cost of an exarch + shimmershield, you could buy more avengers and still wind up cheaper.

Massive firepower

The twin linked weapon in the exarch lowers his damage per point. It's a horrible upgrade.

Why the SL on it? It seems to want to get in assault ASAP, so I wonder if those points would be better spent on another scat bike.
