So I'm working on making the most competitive force I can using Eldar as the main detachement and Dark Eldar Allies here is what I've come up with so far.

HQ
Jetseer- Guide, Mind War, Stones, Spear, RoW (173)

Elite
5 Fire Dragons (80)
Wave Serpent- Cannons, Chin Cannon (110)

Troops
3 Jetbikes- Cannon (76)
3 Jetbikes- Cannon (76)

Heavy Support
Fire Prism (115)
Fire Prism (115)
3 War Walkers- Cannons (120)

HQ
Archon- Blaster (75)

Elite
3 Trueborn- 3 Blasters (81)
Venom- Cannon (65)

Troops
5 Wyches- Heywire (60)
Venom- Cannon (65)

5 Wyches- Heywire (60)
Venom- Cannon (65)

Heavy Support
Razorwing Jetfighter- FF (155)

9 points left over. I thought about using Eldrad in a ranger squad to guide the Warwalkers but opted for the Farseer on the jetbike instead not sure if that is the more competitive choice but it keeps everything fast which I think is the key to this list.

I'm open to all suggestions on how to finish up the list.

Do you plan on using mind war at all? If you are not swapping book powers, grab doom instead.

Otherwise looks solid.

Yeah my plan was to use the book powers using guide and mind war as the cheapest powers and just swapping them out.

Then I would just give the con a venom blade, and the trueborn plasma grenades to kill the points and give you a pinch assault unit. Their venom will probably get shot down, might as well have some CC power.

Thanks for the help Dr. Serling, that would be a nice cheap way to make the squad a little more versatile.

@Icelord, my plan way to run the Archon in the Venom with the Trueborn since DE are disallowed from using CWE transports. And it would give me a 4th blaster in that unit.

Overall the list looks pretty solid, but your seriously lacking in troops. The wyches will die as soon as they are out of their transports which will leave you with 6 guadian jetbikes to capture objectives.

Yeah that is definitively true. Just for curiosity's sake is there a competitive way to run DE warriors in 6th?

For warriors I find that 10 + cannon in a raider with racks (and possibly night shields) works very nice as a splinter boat.

So far the effectiveness of 10 Wraithblades with Ghost Axes:
Tanked 2 Leman Russ squadrons (including the battle cannons and the triple plasma variant); whilst also getting wailed on by everything imaginable in a Fortress of Redemption. Only to get into CC with the tanks and open them up.
2000 points worth of Necrons with Forgeworld additions. Got into CC with a court of Lords and opened them up.
Killed a GUO.
Killed Angrath the Gargantuan Bloodthirster in an Apoc game (with the help of Iranna the Spirit Seer).
Ate a Hammerhead, pathfinders and scored after 3 turns of walking towards a 2000 point Tau gunline and overwatch!
And counting............

ya some people really like kabal gunboats, which is a squad of kabals in a raider with splinter racks so you get to re-roll all your missed hits with their splinter rifles. I have had varied success with this, but probably the most used way of running them in terms of being competitive is putting them in venoms with a blaster and spaming them. In the end it will all kind of depend on your play style though.

So 5 warriors with a blaster is the same price as 5 Wyches and doesn't really change that much as far as the role of the squad. The warriors might be slightly safer since that wouldn't have to get into assault to do their damage.

I recognize the weakness in the list is the lack of troops however I don't really see the Eldar or DE being able to fix that problem in a cost effective manner. So I've opted for MSU trying to max out the damage potential. Hopefully its an effective game plan

Ya that might work, if nothing else get a plain five man squad of warriors to camp on your rear objective so your jet bikes can go after other ones.
