Okay, just for fun, what kind of army lists can the Dakka community come up with, using the models that I received as my 'Ard Boyz semi-finals prize. A few stipulations:

#1 - Assume that this is all there is. No going out to buy additional models.
#2 - All models must be WYSIWYG (although conversions from models in the list is acceptable, with minor bitz orders allowed)
#3 - 1750 point army lists, single force org chart (aka GT-level army).

Here's what I received from GW:
2 x Falcons Box
4 x Guardians Box
2 x Shining Spear Squad Box
2 x Dire Avenger Box
2 x Farseer & Warlock Bodyguard Box
1 x Wraithtlord Box
2 x Wave Serpent Box
2 x Swooping Hawk Box
2 x Warp Spider Box
4 x Ranger Box
2 x Harlequin Box
2 x Shadowseer Blister
2 x Death Jester Blister

Ide go with

Farseer-jetbike (conversion required), doom, singing spear
113

6x harlies-6x kisses, shadow seer
162
6x harlies-6x kisses, shadow seer
162
these in the falcons
(you would have to take of the fusion pistols if you didnt want em, and add a few kisses i think)

10x dire avengers- exarch with bladestorm and dual catapults
152
Wave Serpent- TL shuriken cannons, underslung shuriken cannon, SS, VEs
140

10x dire avengers- exarch with bladestorm and dual catapults
152
Wave Serpent- TL shuriken cannons, underslung shuriken cannon, SS, VEs
140

6x Warp spiders- Exarch, withdraw, dual spinners
164

Falcon-all the toppings with scatter lasers
205
Falcon-same as above
205
Wraithlord- missile launcher, bright lance
155

Alternatively I would drop the WL and the spiders for some pathfinders and maybe warding on the farseer. If you did that probably go with EML or BL's on the serpents for some anti armor.

That's it? Only one Dakkaite wants to take a stab at it?

So the same list as mine...but you magically get points for shining spears and hawks?

Blackmoor, I didn't see an autarch in the list of models, unless you were expecting a conversion. Same with the guardian jetbikes, though they could be pretty easily made from the shining spears.

The 2 Shining Spears boxes have 6 Jetbikes and riders (plus the metal bits for the Shining Spears). So that is good for 1 Farseer on the Jetbike, 1 Autarch on Jet Bike + 3 Jetbikes and 1 Warlock=6 Jetbikes.

Yes, you will have to cut up the Warlock and Farseer to convert to the Jetbike. Also the Autarch has to be made from the extra Dire Avenger Exarch that you get in the box.

And my list is mostly a point denial list. It is hard to get points off of.

I would go for:

Hw1 Wraithlord, Scatter laser and Missile launcher 135 pts

Hw2 Falcon, Holofield, Scatter laser, Vectored Engines, Spirit stone 195 pts

Hw3 Falcon, Holofield, Scatter laser, Vectored Engines, Spirit stone 195 pts

Elite 1 5 Harlequins, 4 Kiss, Troupe master with power weapon, 1 fusion pistol 126 pts

Elite 2 5 Harlequins, 4 Kiss, Troupe master with power weapon 126 pts

Troop 1 6 Rangers. 114 pts

Troop 2 8 Pathfinders (rangers on speed) 192 pts

Troop 3 10 Dire Avengers, Exarch, Diresword and shuriken pistol, Bladestorm
1 Wave serpent, TL Scatter lasers, spirit stone 282 pts

Hq 1 Farseer, doom 80 pts

Hq 2 Autarch, Swooping hawk wings, Power weapon, Fusion gun 110 pts

Fast 1 8 Swooping hawks, Exarch, Power weapon, Intercept 195 pts


1750 pts

I allways prefer mobility and eldar infantry can allways use the ability to reroll wounds with their low strenght. The Autarch could easily be converted from the remaining swooping hawk exarch

I'd give them to me.
