This is the list I'm currently testing. So far, my weekly eldar opponent has no idea how to beat it. I think it's a pretty strong list, but it lacks ranged AT capabilities and could use some tweaks.

Imotehk

Destroyer Lord w/ scythe, mindshackle scarabs

Immortals x10 w/ gauss
-Lord w/ res orb and staff

Immortals x7 w/ Tesla
-Lord w/ res orb and staff

Warriors x7
-Cryptek w/ lance

Wraiths x5, 2 whips

Wraiths x5, 2 whips

Destroyers x5, 2 heavies

Praetorians x5, Voidblades and casters

You could drop the 7 down to 5, drop the lord, and nab an A-Barge?

You'd have 9 points left over for...?? something

It would slightly weaken your Troop FOS but you can play pretty conservatively with the group of 5, and the extra punch of the A-Barge would be nice.

Other then that I dig the list.

Id say drop a unit of wraiths and the praetorians and throw in 2 triarch stalkers with tl heavy gauss cannons as well as boost up that warrior squad ith more bodies and consider dropping the cryptek for a lord w/orb.

With half your units getting back up after dying and lords to deal with cc units you can benefit from having the stalker who with their targeting relay ability will really help out your warriors. I had great success with one stalker getting a shot on grey knit terminators and then having 30 twin linked gauss flayer shots at them really put the hurt on him.

I think that it would be far from a one-sided fight, if that's what you're implying.

The problem I have with that is that with just a single armored model, I can't imagine it would last long.

I see what you're saying, but taking out a unit of wraiths and praetorians completely changes the point of the list, which I do not like.

Your list is illegal destroyer lord doesn't count as a overlord ergo you cannot have two crypteks in each squad.

Perhaps drop just the praetorians and the d lord(10 wraiths shouldn't need that much supports) which is enough to give you two stalkers one with heavy.

Op your points are not 1500 either

Edited my post to fix the total. Thanks for the heads up!

I posted it from memory, so some stuff may be off. Is it over or under?
