I'm a little worried this list is going to be run off of the table. They are fast and will be awesome in CC if they make it there. But so far they are foot slogging and trying to bolter everything to death on their way. Some Noise Marines units would do really well here. The raptors are far too small and won't accomplish much. The obliterator seems out of place, no lash for bunching, easy target himself. The Chaos Lord is also pretty crappy. The points would be better served as a Lash Sorcerer.

Same as before, except now your anti-tank is getting to dangerously low levels.

This is a little more survivable for the troops here. They all have rhinos, can explode out of them pretty well if they aren't blown up on the way. Lacks anti-tank once more. The Termie Lord with LCs isn't very good. for 10 points less you can have a Lash Sorc who is far more useful.

This list is unsurvivable even in the most casual of settings.

I suggest you invest in some Lash Sorcs/DPs, more oblits, and Noise Marines.

I am trying to veer away from the more traditional Lash and noise slaaneshi lists.

the first 1000 point list has 4 meltas, 2 plasmas and an obliterator. I find that more than sufficient in my local group, as only one player takes a LR, but his lists are cheesier than a tournament eldar list...

The termie combi weapons are going to be plasmas most likely. The only one of these lists I can actually field at the moment is the 750, so these lists are speculative.

for the 1750, 3 defilers should, logically, sok up a horrendous ammount of firepower, and, Though it isn't writen, thay all have the 2 extra CCWs, so they should shred just about anything.

Land Raiders are notoriously hard a single Oblit shooting once a turn is porbably not going to find the (the forum is editting out the word one would commonly expect to find here) in it's armor. You could get lucky though. The meltas probably won't make it to the raider. The LR can pop rhinos with ease.

On paper Defilers are awesome! On the table they turn out terribly. They now either sit back and Battle Cannon until it gets shot off or they try to run up to use their DCCWs and get popped before they hit CC. For the same amount of points you can have two obliterators which are much more versatile and better anti-tank units, more survivable too.
