So I'm getting some money, and I was wondering what would be the best Eldar unit to get. Just list a unit, and why, and I will say f I have it or if I need it.

What do you have now?

Yeah, it'd be best if you told us what units you had so we could tell you where to go from there based on synergy or whatnot.

Anyway, Warp spiders. Never go wrong with Warp Spiders.

Well, looks like you have something of nearly everything already(!).

I have three suggestions. The first is Warp Spiders, as not only are they really REALLY fast now... they're the only Aspect Warriors worth having that you haven't already got...
The second and third are for matters of target saturation. A second Wraithlord would greatly increase the chances of one surviving long enough to make an impact. Likewise, a Fire Prism would go nicely with the Night Spinner.

Lastly, if those Wraithguard are the only ones you'll have for the foreseeable future - build 'em with D-Scythes. You won't regret it.

Hmmm, why are warp spiders so good?
And yes, I was actually planning on the d-scythes. I did a demo game with a friend.... 10 termy kills in one turn

Combined ridiculous levels of movement which allows them to live up to their fluff and decent shooting all with a decent save. Warp Spiders are the shiznack. And if you don't like the models, convert, convert, kitbash, convert.

Not only this, but Battle Focus combined with that crazy movement allows them to pull the old "pop out, fire, pop back in" trick much more easily and effectively. You can sometimes goad an opponent into messing with his maneouvres just to deal with them.
