With my Chaos Daemons almost complete, the painter inside me is fiending for more plastic crack. I want to start eldar, but the gamer inside me is extremely wary.

I'm interested in building a Saim-hann jetseer council list... but how competetive is it?

How viable is the wave serpent spam list?

Anyone have some cookie cutter / tournament lists for either of these two?

Thanks Dakka!

Saim Hann is pretty good, strong quick, agile. The downside is if your opponent locks down your psychic powers, you're screwed. You can minimize the chances of that happening by taking a second farseer in your jetseer council however.

Serpent spam is... well, how to I put this nicely.

That was Smitty's (And eldar player here on Dakka) experience at a local tournament with serpent spam. As you'll see from that batrep for his three games, that his tanks were next to impossible to crack. That said, it's the most competitive build for Eldar right now.

Seems extremely effective. I think I'm sold on mechdar for my build then, although 6 wave serpents is going to be a wallet buster army.
