My Eldar are pretty competitive, so I've started thinking of a fun side army to build when I have the time and resources. I thought, how funny would it be to just play an Eldar uber-squad and some rangers with 9 outflanking walkers, and 3 squads of Hawk yo-yo hilarity. If I need to drop heavy armor I can use spears or just sacrifice the Hawks (this is why I spent the points for Intercept), but again this is for fun! Is there anything more fun to use than the walker squadrons? Perhaps Scorpion squads, but I thought the walkers would scare people a bit more.

Input welcome, or I could just build that janky vibro-cannon list I made ages ago! Fear the vibrating space elves..!...ahem.

I know its fun but 15 guys dead and you cant score. Maybe switch them to guardian jetbikes? Might also remove one squad of hawks to get upgrades such as scatter lasers on walkers and etc. still looks like fun

The scoring thing wasn't really a consideration, but I did consider the bikes as something I could use in reserve as well. Perhaps 2 squads and upgrade one squadron to scatters?

Perhaps. Eldar Bikers arent bad for a fast list. But then your walkers tend to be alone in the back

They're going to be alone anyway I'd think. I'd probably reserve the entire list except the Jetlocks/Farseer/Autarch. Thanks for the input.

Well, if you plan to let the War Walkers and the Hawks come from reserve,
then I'd drop the Seer Council for some Scorpions.
In this way, your army could come from reserve (deep striking or outflanking) or be deployed as infiltrators.
