Hi I've been trying to make the best possible pretty much completely infantry eldar list possible, and I was thinking something like this:

HQ
Avatar – 155

Eldrad – 210

Elites
10 Harlequins – 266
9 Kisses
Shadowseer
Troupe Master (w/ power weapon)

7 Fire Dragons – 152
Exarch firepike
crack shot, tank hunters

Troops
19 Guardians – 216
Warlock, Spiritseer, Conceal, Singing Spear
Scatter Laser

10 Guardians – 144
Warlock, Spiritseer, Conceal, Singing Spear
Scatter Laser

10 Dire Avengers – 167
Exarch, dual catapults Bladestorm, Defend

6 Guardian Jetbikes – 205
Warlock w/ Embolden, Singing spear
2 Shurican cannons

Heavy Support
Wraithlord – 155
BL, EML

Wraithlord – 155
BL, EML

3 War Walkers – 180
2 Scatter lasers each

Total: 2000

All comments and criticism is appreciated. I want this list to be as good as it could be sticking mainly with the theme.

Yay, no DE.

The Jetbikes are great, but I think that a single Heavy Flamer is Meh. You can do just as much damage by shooting the included jetbike weapons before a charge. Might as well take "Embolden". It's imperative that your Jetbikes stay in the game because not only are they fast, but they are Troops so have a double importance.

What am I saying, everything in an Eldar list is important.

Anyways. I would try to get a Troupe Master just to soak up a challenge for the Shadowseer. Sometimes it's a good idea to accept.

Otherwise looks great!

Thanks I think that about embolden and the Troupe Master are both good pieces of advice I'll switch that in the original list.

Look at that, now it comes out at 2000 exact!

The only thing that strikes me a bit odd in the list is the 9 extra guardians on the one pack. I'd highly recommend dropping the 9 extra bodies, and trimming down the fire dragon squad to add in an aegis defense line with quad gun. With that Fire Dragon exarch manning the gun it becomes incredibly powerful

One thing I'd like to point out:
On a clearly shooting-oriented DA squad, Defend isn't going to be of much use.
Other than that, a fine list.

I play a similar foot list but at 1500 pts I've also come to the conclusion that troupe master with the harlequins is overpriced in 6th. More often than not I would much rather save the points and have 9 normal and 1 Shadowseer after the power weapon nerf. And while harlequins are good you need to keep them trim or you will spend way too many points on them.

I also fee the aegis defense line is a god send for foot eldar lists anymore I never leave home without one. I also only buy the gun if I have spare points the ability to put 4+ cover where you need it is invaluable when all your troops are T3 and only have 4+ or 5+ armor.

Thanks for all the feedback. I put the troupe master in with the harlies like Bromethius suggested in order to take challenges for the shadowseer, although I have yet to test this strategy and it may just be better to refuse challenges.

I brought both Defend on the Avengers and the extra 9 Guardians because I feel these add survivability to the units, especially when I bothered to bring the avatar for fearless, and the harlequins for a counter charge, giving those units at least a chance of survival of assault or at least slowing the enemy down.

I've considered getting an aegis defense line and so far the only thing thats stopped me has been just generally disliking the idea of fortifications in general, but I think overall it would benefit me and its probably worth dropping those extra guardians and maybe the troupe master for one.

I am unaware if the Shadowseer has the same stats as a Troupe Master. If so, I guess there wouldn't be a use for him?
