Here is my list for elder 2500 points


Eldrad
Yriel
Harliequins 6, shadow seer with kiss and troupmaster with power sword, rest kiss

Second squad of Harliequins 6, shadow seer with kiss and troupmaster with power sword, rest kiss

Harlequins 5, shadow seer with kiss and troupmaster with power sword, rest kiss ( Yriel goes with this group)

Wraithguard 10, spiritseer with conceal. Eldrad goes with this group. ( counting this as troops)

3 falcons with full kit ( holo spirit stone and vectored engines.
, except no star engines. All with Starcannon and shuriken cannon.


9 pathfinders

10 dire advengers, with exarch, who has two avenger cannons.

9 warp spiders with one upgraded to Exarch , with withdraw.


The basic plan, Harlequins cowboy up in the falcons with Yriel and head out to kill one flank. While wraithguard walk up the middle with Eldrad. Avengers follow behind and Warp spiders look for targets of opportunity. Warp spiders are to block any bikes from hitting wraithguard line and to withdraw from close combat allowing bikes to be shot at.
Pathfinders are to find cover sand to hold and die if necessary.



Facing this force will be dark angels. Heavy bikes , heavy terminators assault squads , 3 predators with autocannons, some land speeders. .. powerful hq in terminator squads. Deepstriking first turn terminators, bikes have sergeants with power fist and attack bikes.


What do you think.. does it or the plan need changing?

Well, its a plan.
I would go for a fully mechanized army, with Serpents besides the Falcons.
This would allow you to outmaneuver the enemy, and this kind of army is immune against deep striking units.

I tend to agree that a fully mobile Eldar army against the DA list that you described would be worth it.

Also consider taking some Vipers to guard your rear access points on the Falcons. One of the great tactics that marine players tend to use when it comes to Falcon is to put their speeder by the rear access point once the falcon moves to their lines and this way the passengers will not be able to disembark. go with 2 Dire avenger squads at 10 man in Serpents with Blade Storm as your troops. Also include if you can some Bikes with Cannons on them to aide in taking out fast light armor to ensure that your cargo get get out of its can and do some serious damage.
