I had my second game with my 6th ed eldar last night. so far I'm realy liking to new codex. I'm feeling i need to increase mobility slightly. I almost always run a falcon and a waveserpent but im starting to think i need to expand on fast attack or transports. I love the serpent and its a regular thorn in the side of the guys i play. Althoughe quite nifty, i find battle focus isnt giving enoughe reliable mobility.

i usuely run : 15 gaurdians w/scatter laser. 10 dire avengers. 10 rengers, 10 scorpians, 10 wraith gaurd, 5 fire dragons, either avatar and farseer or two farseers. falcon. waveserpent, 1 wraith lord. in a about 1500pt games. I'm considering droping the wraith lord for a fire prisim and adding some jet bikes and either adding another wave serpent or a unit of ten warp spiders or a crimson hunter. But i can't decide which.

Warp Spiders are very mobile and have great damage output.

Yeah, but watch out for Helldrakes. They are easy prey.

Helldrakes are the band of a lot of armies, that is why saves serpents are gold. The crimson hunter is good but you need to clear out anything that can kill it before it comes out.

Mod your falcon into a fire prism or wave serpent they are just about the worst heavy support now.

Fire prism and war walkers are the best at this point.

There isn't much in the way of mobile AA for Eldar... Guided brightlance War Walkers... I mean other then flakk EML guided warwalkers if your best bet. Warp spiders are damn good vs flyers BUT they can't kill the helldrake cuz it'll get to shoot at them first.

I am either gonna go Mungan Ra or reapers on a icarus lascannon or Crimson Hunter for AA. Chrimson hunter exarch should kill a helldrake over 50% of the time, and destroy it's weapon over %70 of the time you just need to watch out to make sure it can't vector strke you because that will instantly blow up a hunter.

Best but would be to fly in at a Slight angle and use vector dancer to then turn and face it's side/rear.

Other option is just to stay outside 36" but that is a little hard.
