So I was thinking of using tyranids, but my funds tend to find a place to spend themselves so I don't have enough money to buy the models to play tryanids. Here I am back to Eldar again going to try and pull off a 1500pt tourney. 1500pts isn't a very good amount for Eldar but I'm gonna give it a try. The tournament is in late march so I have time to get my tactics up with each list.

Option #1(Alpha Strike)

Autarch............................70

Farseer...........................95
RoWarding & Doom

3 x 5 Dire Avengers......180

3 x Waveserpent...........375
TL Scatter Laser & SS

2 x 5 Fire Dragons........160

2 x Wave Serpent..........220
TL Shuriken Cannon & SS

2 x Fire Prism................230

3 War Walkers..............170
5 x Scatter Laser 1 x Shuriken Cannon

Total:1500
*******************************************
I originally had this list with 2 autarchs but I figured having a doom and RoWarding would help out alot in general. At 1500pts I'm not expecting much high armour so I think I have enough AT. The warwalkers are very versatile since I can outflank them or run them with my force as usual. I need to play with these kinds of list more to get better at my tactics.

#2(Full Squads)

Eldrad.........................210

2 x 10 Dire Avengers...304
Exarch w/ Dual Direpults & Bladestorm

2 x Wave Serpent.........250
TL Scatter Laser & SS

2 x 5 Fire Dragons......160
2 x Wave Serpent.........220
TL Shuriken Cannon & SS

3 x Fire Prism............345

Total: 1489
******************************
I left a little bit of wiggle room on this one to make any slight changes I might need to make. It's a pretty straight forward list; Eldrad dooms & guides like no other and everything else just blows stuff up. My usual approach to playing Eldar lol. I was thinking of dropping one Fire Prism for a Night Spinner, but I really think I need the extra low AP blast template. I do play with a list like this much better.

Any help you guys can give with editing and deciding which list will help me out a ton. Thanks!

That list will be rather rough. You prisms are flapping in the wind and are your only real Anti-Horde/Long range High AV. Crons will have a field day with ya.

Personally I'd drop the autarch and stones, take 2x holofields, change out doom for guide, upgrade both Cannons to Scatters and a DA Scatter to a Bright Lance.

Thanks for the reply so quickly. I wouldn't want to drop the autarch because he gives me the option of reserving everything in my list. If I dropped the autarch I would ONLY have enough points to give the fire prisms holo-fields any way. I wouldn't have enough points to make any of the other changes you mentioned. I don't like that my fire prisms don't have holofields but its too damn expensive to add it. Dropping an autarch for holofields isn't worth it to me but I will give it a go if my fire prisms end up getting shot down really fast.

I did update the whole post making it a poll and adding another list. If you could take a look at the other one too that would be really great. Thanks for the comment!

The extra 50pt for the other changes come from dropping the 50pts of spirit stones.

Of the two I think #2 will do better, though 2 offenisve build troops will be really rough.

I'd drop one of the Bladestorm DA to two 5 mans, drop all the spirit stones and take another Serpent which would boost you up to 3 troops. You'll still have a serious issue with holos on the prisms but at least with 3 you have some target priority bait.

Personally, I would keep the Scannons on the WS. I know you loose a shot and 12" in range, and sometimes that is simply invaluable. But if you're going to be using the vehicle to drop off troops (like #2) then the range shouldn't be a problem. Small change that can give you more points to add some more Fire Dragons in to let them be more effective against MEQ

That's my logic to it, thanks.

If anyone else has comments/criticism about these list please post.

Thanks, Helvost
