whelp. For a tournament list you'll need to basically start from scratch. You have a lot of bad units, and units not performing at their full potential.

if you want an indepth analysis on how you can get a more tournament capable list up and running check out my Signature.

a brief overview of what things need to go
- Drop Storm on your Farseer
- Get 3 Squads of Fire Dragons in Wave Serpents
- Get all your Dire Avengers Meched up, and with 2 catapults exarchs ( or just 5 man)
- Drop the Swooping Hawks
- Spread your Vipers out and give them 2 Shuriken Cannons each
- Don't run wraithlords in a mechanized list.

er... yea. Like I said, if you want more detail about things, check out my guide in my signature.


Xom finds this thread hilarious!

The vypers are grossly overcosted with their current configuration. Three bright lance shots for 285 pts protected by AV10? Ehhh, no thanks.

I concur. You have to balance out points, rate of fire, toughness and power in a mech army. Your big expensive tankbusting guns are little comfort when it's attached to the smoulderin wreckage of your Vyper.
Also, remove the Wraithlords. The Eldar vehicles are all really mobile, but a Wraithlord is incredibly slow. It costs 240pts to keep them. If your Wraithlord cannot get into combat, it will be blasted apart.

As cannot be stressed enough (which is why i will continue to beat the dead horse) drop the wraithlords, they are so horrid in this list haha.

That aside, yes if youre taking vypers take something with higher rate of fire to make up for poor bs (like a scatter laser). if you still want anti tank fit them with missile launchers as it offers both anti armor and infantry. Also there really shouldnt be a need for vectored engines on vypers, thats 60 points! (i guess maybe if you're thinking like last turn objective contests or whatever but still it should be rare they move more than 12 ina turn)

I would have to strongly disagree with 3 squads of dragons, i believe balance and co-ordination will win you battles not by spamming the best unit in the army (which dragons arguably are). But i do agree you need atleast one unit of them. I would drop the harlies and put dragons instead.

Drop the hawks, heres why: for the same points or just a few more you get dire avengers in a transport that can fulfill the same role as the hawks and do it better.

lastly what kind of list is this? it seems to be a hybrid between mechdar and footdar, i suggest picking one. With the current config i would suggest pushing for mech (which is easy, take points from the wraithlords and put those into serpents.)

Good luck and do let us know what you change, id be curious to see what your new list looks like.
