you guys got any problems with this list? i dont own any of these models so anything can be changed.

Blackmoore is one of the experts playing footslogging Eldar.
I play Eldar too, but usually mechanized.

@Wuestenfux:
So basically you are saying what works for him is what works for him and that if anyone touches it, they immediately have 'fail' branded to their foreheads

Dynamic Duo is ok.
Eldrad with harlies to be 'invisible'.

Rangers and GJB in reserve most likely.
Guardians in reserve as well, then come in later and do their stand-off shooting.

Hvy support looks good.

I can see what Wuestenfux was getting at. This list is very fragile. It can do what it does well, but it has a very exposed body of troops and the heavy hitters are relatively slow. While their ranged fire is decent, but not that much.

It's a list that relies more on usage rather than list building.

@Sanctjud:
The flow of battle is different from that of a mech army.
As for each Eldar armies, all parts must work perfectly together.
Synergy is key. This army requires some experience to attain synergy.

I don't think you have enough harlequins, they might be hidden but only for so long and 5 of them won't last long when the guns can eventually see them.

The rangers will get hammered when no cover save weapons come along, the guardian jetbikes won't last long as only three of them.

I've tried wraithlords, didn't rate them.

If I was going foot eldar I would take a avatar and loads of guardians with brightlance platforms. Add a warlock to the guardians and use conceal power, 5+ cover save isn't much but better than no save, right? Then add in three wraithlords and a farseer council.

Possibly not a Council but a Harlequin unit for counter charge.

I play a list very similar to blackmoors.. It's takes a while to learn and lots of practice. But it produces a lot of fire power at the same time. It can take on most anything, you just have to know how to do it (usually a different strategy for each different army list).

Last time I played Blackmoor he had 9 War Walkers w/scatter lasers........So many dead things on my end
