This is my list, what do you think my comp scores would be and how competitive would this list be?

Also, I have 65 points left, dunno what to spend it on, though I could drop a pathfinder unit for shining spears or something.

HQ:365

Eldrad:210
Yriel:155

Elites:192

10 scorpions with move through cover exarch and claw

Troops:918

5 pathfinders=120

5 pathfinders=120

10 wraithguard/conceal=396

10 dire avengers in serpent with bladestorm/extra catapult exarch=282

Heavy Support:460

Wraithlord with EML/BL=155

Wraithlord with EML/BL=155

3 vibro cannons=150

I think including Yriel and Eldrad in the same list is going to turn off many people that care about an armies 'fluffiness' which goes hand in hand with comp scores around here. I like to score comp on synergy that I see, and how feasible the army is on the move, etc. Right now it doesn't strike me as a real force, and I'd be giving it a 3/5 only because it's so soft I'd feel bad giving it lower.

I have to say I don't like the list either, which is different from giving it a low comp score. Its just something I would never want to play as. I would give it a complete rewrite, picking a competative advantage and maximizing it. You can do both and stay within the realm of respectable composition.

I commend you on not taking a cookie cutter eldar army. Whether it can win or not remains to be play tested?

Why the extra special character? I don't understand the point of the list--is it shooty? Close combat?

The list is pretty strange, infiltrating Striking Scorpions and footslogging Wraithguard are non-common units in competitive lists.
And one tank is asking for getting shot down; give the Serpent stones and vect engines.

I'm not really sold on paying three times as much for a slightly better vibrocannon shot. Go with one vibrocannon maximum unless you specifically need S6 on the 50% of the time the unit hits. That gives you another 100 to play with, plus the points saved by ditching Yriel for a cheaper Autarch or other option. Is your Yriel/Autarch meant to travel with the Avengers? What is his role?

A battery with more than one V-cannon in it will hit more than 50% of the time.

I beg your pardon, you're quite right of course. But 50pts for one seems far more worthwhile than what you get paying 150pts for three. I may be alone on that one, though.

In all honesty I think tau nidzilla and mec eldar will probably beat you.
that said in a tourney your more likely to face meqs so how will you do against them?

Wraith guard give meqs a head ache, so expect heavy fire. aside from pathfinder the rest of your list doesn't really pose much threat to marines. Scorpions can win close combat with a claw but banshees do better.
I admire you for not going with falcon/harly spam, and WL's are fairly stable weapon platforms. Though 3 war walkers with scatter lasers come to about the same amount of points as your platforms.

Have you play tested this list yet?


All out of witty one-liners.
