Hi folks, here is the list so far:

- Farseer, Singing Spear - 105pts
- Dire Avengers x10, Exarch -140pts
- Dire Avengers x10, Exarch -140pts
- Wraithguard x5, D-Scythes, Wave Serpent, Shuriken Cannon - 335pts

Which leaves 280 to play around with. The two options I have so far are:
- Wraithlord, Bright Lance - 140pts (Two of, to make 280pts)
- or Wraithknight - 240pts (leaving 40 points to spend on himself with weapons etc, or 40 to throw at something else in the army)

I'm not a very competitive player, but I would like this list to work well (with answers to majority of other armies). I'm not sure which would be more effective so I've come to you guys for help. I understand that eldar are a brittle army but I'm not sure if what I have written will be any good. The reasons for including the stuff so far is as simple as I like how it looks.

Thanks in advance!

Foot slogging Dire Avengers is a bad idea. Therefore, I'd mount both units in Serpents (holofields please).

It would be great to know what you have in your armoury, as there are many ways you could expand on this.

2 Wave serpents with holo fields and one shuriken cannon for your avengers is exactly 280 points.

An avatar to give your avengers fearless as they slog up the field, and also to act as a bullet magnet might be a good idea. It would also give your army a very strong close combat capability in case you go up against some demons or blood angels. Footslogging armies benefit greatly from an Avatar, IMO. (They're also very pretty, since you mentioned aesthetics.)

A squad of war walkers would be a great way to provide some longer ranged dakka at your enemies and give your avengers some supporting fire. Its very hard to go wrong with war walkers.

You could make use of jetbikes as well. Harass their back lines with them to give your avengers time to run up the field or use a larger squad to lay down some real hurt, but also be a bigger target. Whether you use them as 3+cannon, 6+2 cannons, or 9+3 cannons is up to you. You could even give them warlock support if you've got points to spend. Its pretty awesome when your bikes have a 2+ armour save.

It all boils down to what you have available to you, and what you think would be the most fun (or whatever you like the look of).
