mostly used against my three buddies who play tau, Space marines and Chaos marines. possible a space wolves army as well.

My thoughts were the prisms and guardians would be used to defend the points near the eldar objective as well as be a fire base. i could even move one prism up ahead farther to use the prism cannons linked fire if need be. use the avatar and possible Eldrad to tie up one side of the board and act as a barrier while the shining spears and the avengers in the serpent flank around to get near another objective. the harlequins can then move up the center and assist where needed or be joined up with eldrad depending on circumstances.

---------------------------------------

anyways as stated at the top i'm just looking for feedback on the army mainly if this will work against marines and tau. i threw it together thinking it could be fun to play. any and all criticism is welcome.

Hmmm....eldrad isnt really needed....a regular fortune seer would probably work, harlequins have the cant see me button anyways, so until you get really close the fortune on them wont do much since shooting a them is semi-pointless.

You have waaaay to many points sunk into those harlies too, death jester and troupe master are both point sinks. Get the shadowseer and call it a day.

The missile launcher isnt the best choice for the guardians, since 50% chance it misses, and guardians in themselves are one of the most useless units in the game.

Shinning spears really dont fit the list, a lot of slow assault units, fire prisms sit back, and aside from dire avengers everything else isnt super fast. Id probably reconsider these guys, as again its a major point sink. Id replace these guys with fire dragons in a serpent since you lack serious AT abilities

ok so after reading your feedback you really helped me lean to a different style i had been looking at. i seriously revamped the list.

figured the fire dragons could load up in the falcon and that the falcon would provide them with a little better support then just a wave serpent.

dropped the guardians for a squad of Dire Avengers and a serpent to control an objective nearby and depending on how the other side plays their cards the serpent could leave the avengers on their own and head out to harrass the enemy.

lowered the number of harlequins and dropped the special units in the squad except the shadowseer.

i also went with a base Farseer instead of eldrad and he can either squad up with the harlequins or join the fire dragons.

-------------------------------

anyways as things stand i have 120 points to spend and i'm open to suggestions and criticism as usual. one of my thoughts would be put the dragons back into a serpent would save another 60 points or so that could be spent on increasing the number of dragons or harlequins or even to add a group of dark reapers in replacing the dropped falcon. i've heard they do wonders against marines.

thanks again for any input.
