Hi Guys,

I'm creating a Small 1000 point Mymerian Eldar Force - the fluff in the codex describes them as having a reputation for stealth, swiftness and intense displays of firepower which is what i'm trying to achieve from my list - Not looking to make it uber competative but would like it to be able to hold its own.

Keen to hear your guys thoughts / recommendations

Planning on expanding on this to hit 1500 by including Irrillyth (Shadow Spectre Phoenix Lord) – 225pts , another squad of Swooping Hawks (141pts) another War Walker (70pts) and a squad of rangers (60Pts)

I'm a big fan of themed armies, however based on what you have said i don't really see how dark reapers are either stealthy or quick.

I think those points are better spent on warp spiders.

If you can find yourself 3 points you can take 2 units of 6 instead of 5 reapers.

IMO it will be fluffier and FAR more effective.

also take out the wings on autarch for jet bike, alot better for what you will be using him for. then also replace DRs for WSs. there better, and fit in with the theme

Cool - good shouts all round. I went with reapers more so for the 'Intense displays of firepower' i.e. heavy weapons and relentless (And the abiliy to Skyfire) - but I think warp spiders might be good!

I was debating dropping the Autarch Wings for a Spider Jet pack and the flame sabre for the Ulandothi Long Rifle? Would that be worth doing or is the Autarch on Jetbike the premium loadout?
