I have been lovin on some Eldar lately so I figured I would give them a run at the next local tourney around the corner.

Eldrad
Avatar of Khaine
Archon with Shadow Field and Power Sword

8 Harlequins with Kisses

12 Guardians with Bright Lance
10 Kabalite Warriors with Dark Lance
10 Wraithguard with Spirit Seer (conceal)
3 Guardian Jetbikes

3 War Walkers with 2x Scatter Lasers
3 War Walkers with 2x Scatter Lasers
Wraithlord with Bright Lance, Scatter Laser, 2x Flamers

The Archon goes with Eldrad and the Harlies. This is really the only configuration I've ever tried with Eldar; I have a few points left but I haven't figured out quite where to stick them yet. I will probably take the power sword off the Archon and try to give him a better weapon. I also had a Farseer in at first and then realized that I don't think I can make it without having two Fortunes going off each turn. Let me know what you think.

What would you suggest taking out for the Voidraven Bomber? I can get behind adding Baron after reading his entry (still really new to the Dark Eldar codex) but I don't know which version of the flyer to go with. I think the only things that are up in the air for taking out are the Avatar and the Wraithlord since I feel that Walkers are too precious to cut. I also think ditching the Guardians for another unit of Kabalites with a Lance seems like a good deal to me.

Still new here but my suggestions looking at your list is to make the following changes. Firstly at that point value you need both troops and a way to deal with baleturkeys. I think the following list provides both.

Eldar Force

HQ Eldrad - 210 (goes in wraith guard)


Troops
10 Wraith guard - Spirit seer with singing spear and conceal 399
3 GJB - 1 with Cannon - 76


Elites:

Harlequins x 7 with a Shadow seer. (Only 5 kisses sadly as just a few points shy, so lose the 3 without first to wounds where possible) (Baron goes here) - 194

Heavy Support
Wraithlord - BL and EML 155
Wraithlord - BL and EML 155
Warwalker Squadron - 3 x 2 SL - 180

Dark Elder
HQ
Baron -105

Troops
10 x kabbies with DL - 115
10 x Kabbies with DL - 115

Heavy support
Razor wing Fighter 145

Total 1849

Not sure how well that'd do but might be worth a try.

This is very close to what I was thinking but I just don't know if the Voidraven Bomber is better for me than the Razorwing. I also have more love vested in the walkers as they really have a high potential to damage both flyers and troops where a BL ML carrying Wraithlord doesn't have it. I hate losing my Avatar just for his punch but I feel I would have a hard time baby sitting him and the fear bubble is just short of worthless.


Here's a list I whipped up:

Eldrad (with WG)
Baron Sathonyx (with Harlies)

6+1 Harlequins with 5 Kisses (Shadowseer)

10 Wraithguard with Spiritseer
3 Guardian Jetbikes with Shuriken Cannon
10 Kabalite Warriors with Dark Lance
10 Kabalite Warriors With Dark Lance

3 Eldar War Walkers with 2x Scatter Laser each
3 Eldar War Walkers with 2x Scatter Laser each
Wraithlord with Bright Lance, Scatter Laser, 2x Flamers
Razorwing Jetfighter (basic loadout)

This comes out to 1848. I am really on the War Walkers side but just would need someone to explain to me how the Wraithlord would be a better choice. The only thing I can come up with is that he lasts much longer than the War Walkers but it's hard to argue against the fire power they spew out.
