I've just finished my 1000 point Eldar army and would like to take it up to 1500. Here are 3 possible lists I could use, which one would you guys recommend I use?

List 1

HQ

Farseer w/ Doom, Runes of Warding, Singing Spear – 98 points

Troops

7 Guardian Jetbikes w/ 2 Shuriken Cannons – 174 points

7 Guardian Jetbikes w/ 2 Shuriken Cannons – 174 points

10 Dire Avengers w/ Exarch, Dual Catapults, Bladestorm – 152 points
Wave Serpent w/ TL EML, Spirit Stones – 130 Points

Elites

6 Fire Dragons – 96 points
Wave Serpent w/ TL Shuriken Cannon, Spirit Stones - 110 Points

8 Howling Banshees w/ Exarch, Executioner, Acrobatic – 155 Points
Wave Serpent w/ TL Brightlances, Spirit Stones – 145 Points

Heavy Support


Fire Prism – 115 points

Fire Prism – 115 Points

Total: 1494 Points


This one gives me plenty of heavy support and Jetbike troops. Lacks fortune support however, and there are 6 useless points left.


List 2


HQ

Farseer w/ Doom, Fortune, Spirit Stones, Runes of Warding, Singing Spear – 98 points

Troops


6 Guardian Jetbikes w/ 2 Shuriken Cannons – 152 points

6 Guardian Jetbikes w/ 2 Shuriken Cannons – 152 points

10 Dire Avengers w/ Exarch, Dual Catapults, Bladestorm – 152 points
Wave Serpent w/ TL EML, Spirit Stones – 130 Points

Elites


6 Fire Dragons – 96 points
Wave Serpent w/ TL Shuriken Cannon, Spirit Stones - 110 Points

8 Howling Banshees w/ Exarch, Executioner, Acrobatic – 155 Points
Wave Serpent w/ TL Brightlances, Spirit Stones – 145 Points

Heavy Support

Fire Prism – 115 points

Fire Prism – 115 Points

Total: 1500 Points

This gives my Banshees fortune support, making them more effective, I've also used up all my points. This is at the cost of 2 Jetbikes however.


List 3

HQ

Farseer w/ Doom, Runes of Warding, Singing Spear – 98 points

Autarch w/ Jetbike, laser lance, mandiblasters, fusion gun - 140 points

Troops

7 Guardian Jetbikes w/ 2 Shuriken Cannons – 174 points

7 Guardian Jetbikes w/ 2 Shuriken Cannons – 174 points

10 Dire Avengers w/ Exarch, Dual Catapults, Bladestorm – 152 points
Wave Serpent w/ TL EML, Spirit Stones – 130 Points

Elites

6 Fire Dragons – 96 points
Wave Serpent w/ TL Shuriken Cannon, Spirit Stones - 110 Points

8 Howling Banshees w/ Exarch, Executioner, Acrobatic – 155 Points
Wave Serpent w/ TL Brightlances, Spirit Stones – 145 Points

Heavy Support


Fire Prism w/ Spirit Stones – 125 points


Total: 1499 Points

A perhaps not as competitive option but would be very fun to use! Adds in a Jetbike Autarch, providing me with loads of S6 PW attacks plus the MS rule which would give my list synergy. It uses up a tonne of points though, meaning I loose 1 Fire Prism.

So there's my options, let know which one you think I should use, or if you have any additional ideas, those are welcome too! I'll be mainly fighting MEQ's and Nids if that helps, though I want it to stand a good chance against anything tbh. I know reading a long piece of text isn't fun, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thank you

PS: I apologise for the Friday referance, couldn't resist!

lol i voted wrongly - i clearly means list 2 is best. Fortune is so much worth it over the extra GJB. Remember you can fortune the serpent and fly flat out... gettting a nice 4+ re-roll coversave on the banshee serpent. So get that fortune seer in there. And when they get out to fight, fortune the squad of course

Nice list all in all. I would suggest dropping 1 dragon. 5 are as good as 6 And those 16 pts could buy you a scatter laser for the dragon serpent so all three serpent have long range weapons. I would also personally prefer scatter laser (or EML) over BL on the banshee serpent. The BL is too expensive imo, and the banshee serpent shouldnt get to shoot it too often?

Nice cool eldar list!

Thanks for all the comments! The general opinion so far seems to be list 2, or rather Fortune > more Jetbikes.

I already run fortune in my 1000 point list so I know how effective it is, Bright Lances are expensive yes but I'm basically screwed against LRs without them. I've always been partial to scatter lasers though, will playtest that, nice idea!

Anyone else got a different opinion? It all helps a lot

Never really cared for the whole "minimum squads in serpents" thing tbh. Thanks for the ideas all the same though, I'm playing some games this weekend so I'll be testing all the lists and all the new ideas from this thread

List 2 is easily the best , two Fire Prisims will easily destroy hordes.
Great Idea!
