Farseer
Runes of warding
spirit stone
doom
guide

3x 5 man dire avenger squads.

5x fire dragon
Wave serpent EML

3x wave serpents
2x scatter lasers ea

fire prism
holo field.

Now the points value is done from the top of my head so im not to sure if it would accuratly come to 745pts.
Do peeps think this list would work well.

Well you certainly made it a quick army and anti infantry at that you hav covered vehicles too so i dont see why not. I am looking at the codex though and this lists seems too expensive but i am looking now.

It costs 895 points in total id start again and get rid of some wave serpeants.
Try a group of 3 war walkers, 2 of them with two scatter lasers the other with brght lances. Definatly drop 2 wave serpeants with scatter lasers theres 20 points saved already.
Degrade your farseer make sure hes in a group then i think thats it really.

Hope this helps

We did a recent escalation league and the eldar player brought 3 warwalkers with a farseer + guide every time and did very well in the 500 and 1000 point brackets. 24 (twin linked) st6 shots a turn? Yes please.

You would smash the competition. In large part because that army totals up to 1010 points. You need to slash 260 points for it to be legal :x

That said... We could probably still keep the general theme

Farseer should only take 1 power in this small of a points game. You shouldn't need more than 2 troops. That should do it after a few tweaks I recon.

Also swap your Fire Prism for 2 Scatter Walkers. They are awesome in low point games. With or without Guide.

I think this was everybody's point of confusion. glancing at this I read it as including 3 Wave Serpents w/ Scatter Lasers for your 3 Dire Avenger squads.

I don't think you should be putting 5 man Dire Avenger squads on foot without a tank. They are all of your troops, they are slow... and... yea

if you must take dirt cheap troops, then

(76) 3 GJB- Shuriken Cannon. 16 more points but you get a heavy weapon and enough movement to avoid the enemy. Otherwise just go for Guardian Defenders with Scatter Lasers, 10 bodies in cover is a lot better than 5 bodies in cover.

You definatly put 3 wave serpents in 2 with scatter lasers 1 with EML

ah i see, thats my rushed typing whilst at work for you lol. ment to say 3 warwalkers

Right how about this

Farseer
runes of warding
runes of witnessing
Guide

5xdire avengers(havent got any guardians)

3 jet bikes
1 shuriken cannon

5 fire dragons
wave serpent
EML

3 war walkers
2 scatter lasers ea

fire prism

731 points which i can even spend on spirit stone for fire prism or uprading a dire avenger to exarch with 2 shuriken cata for those 2 extra shoots

Stick with spiritstones it will probably workout better then :-)

Run a Falcon with a missile launcher instead of the Fire Prism. That way your Dire Avengers and Farseer have a nice armored shell to hide in, and an alternate target for guide if for whatever reason the War Walkers don't have any targets or you need S8 shots to connect.

Also split your War Walkers up

a squad of 2 and a 1 by himself. You can still get a lot of shots by guiding the squad of 2, and having your squads split up lets you split your fire (good for you) and forces your opponent to split theirs (bad for them). It also helps mitigate overkill which is very important in low point games where you want every one of your guns performing.

The advantages of splitting them up into 2 and 1 are bigger than the kill point and guiding potential of a squad of 3.

Edit, if you need a few points, Runes of Witnessing isn't needed on your Farseer. And the missile launcher on the Wave Serpent should be a Shuriken Cannon. No point putting an expensive gun on a practically suicide tank. Shuriken Cannons are just as good against Rhinos and other av 11 targets as a missile launcher as well (3 chances to roll a 6 is about equivalent to 1 chance to role a 4). Shuriken Cannons are actually MORE effective against armor 10 targets like side armor of chimeras and Raiders. Due in large part to the number of shots. So Shuriken Cannons are great on Dragon Wagons, since they move up close, they are cheap, and they have good damage.

Get rid of your Fire Prism. It's a large chunk of your pts budget down the drain, and one big, weakly armoured tank is no use when it's wrecked. Get some more Aspects.

No keep the prism, its highly durable with holofields and can always move if you throw stones on it. agree that the avengers need a ride, maybe make one squad of 10 and one of 5 have the one of 5 sit on an objective and the 10 in a serpent?

My only question concerning this list is if you have avengers with a farseer with doom and guide why do you need walkers? couldnt you spend those points on somthing else? because the way the walkers are equiped they seem to fill the same function as avengers. Now if you took the walkers with EMLs then thats a different story...however there is the factor of points limit. so depending on how you want to run the army, drop either the prism or the walkers.
