Your troops will die quickly to flamers.

Too many points in that HQ and not enough troops imo.

I'd cut that warlock down to 6 and put them in a serpent.

In Theory Yriel, Seer council and my 2 wraithlords head towards the toughest unit my opponent has, and smash it to pieces. Eldrad always fortunes his own unit, which yriel will join and detatch from depending on what has to be killed, Eldrad will fortune yriel if he is on his own. Eldrad will also mind war to soften up tough squads. The Wraithlords main job is anti vehicle.

The pathfinders will not be put too close to the enemy and the harlquins will operate near them so as to offer them some kind of protection.

I don't really like it... you only have 3 anti tank shots a turn... and you are running an assault army that has to walk to the enemy.

if you leave your pathfinders behind on an objective, they'll get toasted by flamers or assaulted and you can't win, if you leave your close combat units behind to counter charge you'll be out shot, as 10 sniper's are only really effective at killing terminators or MCs.

and you only have 2 troops... who can't move fast... so you are already at a severe disadvantage in objective games.

Would this be a good list for annihalation only games?

Bear in mind i can assault tanks with the Lords+ yriel + council

He's kinda right about that, Eldar do not do well against flamers. In order to get to combat, you need a delivery system, and then.... you need to make sure that you can crack open enemy vehicles so that your assaults are effective. And you need redundancy or resilience.

Eldrad is good, very resilent
Warlocks are tricky, they are very effective, but if their only means of protection is fortune, you won't have enough survive to be worthwhile, they need to be on jetbikes or in a transport.
Yriel, he's nasty, but fragile, he needs a delivery system
Harlequins, can make it there outside of a wave serpent, but thanks to 5th edition, you can now... use someone else's waveserpent. very nasty surprise.
2 x wraithlord, not bad, but.... if you are running low model count, maybe just one
2 x pathfinders, again, not bad, but if you are running low model count, maybe make them rangers.

I ran a list that was simliar with Eldrad & Yriel, the low model count was skittish, but if you maneuvered well the results were great, mine was mechanized with 3 or 4 wave serpents.

Well, don't rely too much on a Seer Council.
It must rely on fortune to be cast with success.
Consider:

- nullzone, each SM army has it,
- psychic hood, dito,
- rune weapon of Rune Priests
- new Nids.

Thanks guys i appreciate the advice,
If Yriel keeps dying i would replace him with an avatar so he had better toughness. I'm considering taking two small naked units of jetbikes costing 66pts each, instead of all my pathfinders, so that i can start harrasing early, contest objectives. and also take away one destructor warlock and add in a 155 wraithlord? this would take me to 1502 pts. good idea?

The list can do some damage if it gets into combat, the problem I see is, like listed above, the delivery system.

Running on foot gives your opp plenty of time to shoot at you, considering the low t of eldar wounds won't be hard to get. Rerolls save your butt time and time again but throw enough dice at something and you'll see stuff disappear.

I would take off a wraithlord and put in a waveserpent atleast for your seer council. With brightlance its about as good at taking out tanks as the wraithlord.

Also consider switching a pathfinder squad for a Dire avenger squad. While not as durable in cover as pathfinders there are more and more things that are ignoring cover or poping up on your table edge. DA with defend and shimer shield can still do a good job shooting as well as hold up a unit for a long time.
