I run a footdar list with GK as my primary force. I overload on MCs. My front line is an Avatar w/ storm guardian squad w/ conceal. It works because I have five MCs charging forward - Avatar, 3 DKs and a WL. I have done quite well with the list. It could be Eldar primary w/ the 3 WL but frankly DKs are just a massive problem for a lot of lists.

I think the way you have it is best since a primary eldar list pretty much requires a farseer and RoW is bad for GK.

So I switched to a Farseer that now casts Forewarning on them.

I have to say, they perform much better now. The Forewarning with Fortune keeps them alive far longer than they normally would be. And it allows me to usually cast Misfortune on the enemy as well as I still have a Warp Charge left after casting Forewarning.

Is there a way to constantily get Forewarning? I mean, it is a random dice roll so you have a 1 chance for every power you buy, up to 4 powers. It is good odds, but not 100 percent... and kinda expensive at 85pts for the 4 cheapest powers. Then you start looking at a spear, Runes, and Spirit stones (because if your buying four powers, why not?) for 178pts total... that is pretty dang expensive just to keep one power on one unit when you still need Fortune.

And that is why you always take one farseer, loaded to the tits, and eldrad if you plan on spell casting lots in games.
