Striking Scorpions are in my opinion the most badass looking models in
40k and I love them to bits. But on tabletop their lack of fleet and the fact Dire Avengers already kill infantry more reliably and with less risk kinda limits their usefulness, even with Infiltrating. I used to play 6 of them and all they did was limit my opponent's deployment zone, which is nice, but not worth their points,
imo.
If I'd pick a
CC squad, I'd go for Banshees, since they deal with something our other units have difficulty dealing with:
FNP. If you ever played
BA and spent two bladestorms on a single squad of
FNP Marines, killing 1 model, you'll know what I mean. And
FNP is getting more and more common with every new codex(bar the new Necron dex, thankfully), so Banshees are only getting more useful as time goes by.
That said, I don't have any
CC elements in my 1500-2000 Eldar lists. I find I have more than enough mobility to escape any and all foe trying to assault me, or at least make it damn difficult for them to destroy me(needing 6's to hit is a lifesaver for mechdar).
To the
OP: I understand your reluctance in removing the squad's exarchs. In a casual list, I like my squads to have more personality as well. So if you're dead set on playing them, I think the only thing you could do at this point is to change the scatterlaser on the Falcon to an
EML with your remaining points. When you think about it, a Falcon is most likely going to be using his Pulse Laser to kill AV12 tanks and
MCs. Scatterlaser isn't particularly good at either case, while
EML would be just perfect. What's more, the range of a scatterlaser is 36", while Pulse laser is 48", so that might cause some problems.
EML is also 48", so those two guns compliment each other perfectly. Also, you don't really need all those Brightlances. You already have 2 squads of
FD, which is enough for any Land Raider list at 1500 points, since there won't be more than 1 or at most 2
AV 14 in your opponent's army. Changing Brightlances for
EMLs and giving your Serpents Spirit stones would be points better spent, I think and would add to survivability of your troops.
. Applying my advice above and doing some tweaking to squeeze it into 1500 points, I come up with something like this.
2000pts
4500pts
1000pts
