Afternoon Dakka, after a long discussion with a very good friend of mine we decided to make the trip down to Nottingham in December for the two day event of Battle Brothers

B/B is a 1500pts tournament where two players take it upon themselves to make a force that equates to 1500 pts, this includes;
- 1 x 1500pts army (both players control different sections
- 2 x different armies following the rules for allies at 1500pts (combo to 1500 e.g. 100 + 500 or 750 + 750 etc)

All usual slots must be filled and all rules are to be followed etc.

My friend owns a Dark Eldar force main whilst i currently own 1.5k of tau (more if i used models outside of Farsight Enclave) so i agreed to make a small contingency of Eldar (also to have something to use in 2k games to compliment my tau) With that in mind i plucked for the "Jetbike list of if your not on a bike your not in this army" list. With the list we wanted something competitive that would work well together, but also at the same time thematic (we've already looked into ordering fake leather/skin the ideas neat for the lists ) and so as usual i e-mailed the events team in the hope that i could get it cleared up whether or not Exodite Eldar are allowed or not (cold ones as J-bikes etc)

Here's the current list and I'm open/looking for C&C, MY friend has some leeway in units whilst mine has yet to be built which means i have a blank slate to work from (bar a lot of eldar odds and bobs laying around ready for conversions)

Dark Eldar

HQ;
Drekavac, Blight Lord. (Sliscus) - 150pts

Troops;
9 Kabalites, Blaster, Raider, Splinter racks, Flickerfield - 176pts
10 Kabalites, Blaster, Splinter cannon, Raider, Splinter racks, Flickerfield - 195pts

Fast attack;
6 Reaver jetbikes, 2 heat lance - 156pts

Heavy support;
Ravager, Flickerfield - 115pts

total 792pts

Eldar

Hq;
Farseer Shelwe Sierann (Warlord), spirit stone of Anath'lan, singing spear, jetbike - 135pts

Warlocks (5), Jetbikes, singing spears - 275pts

Troops;
Windrider Jetbikes (3) -51pts
windrider Jetbikes (3) - 51pts
Windrider Jetbikes (3) -51pts

Fast attack;
Vyper, shuriken cannon, Bright lance - 70pts

Vyper, shuriken cannon, Bright lance - 70pts

Total 698pts

Grand Total - 1495




With this we thought we could eliminate his problems he has with armour (the main gripe he has in our FLGS) i control a very quick movement army to cap objectives and also help with armour and last but not least this list can also keep up/cover my main enclave armies problem

We have looked at letting dark eldar take the main contingency and taking baron for the farseer death squad unit , this would drop me down to 2 units of 3 windrider's, a single vyper, potential of dropping some points elsewhere to take a unit of wyches in a venom or something scoring.

Failing this list i have also been looking at a Wraith army, Harlequin army, sniper styled army (illic/sniper remanant of glory, rangers, w-lords with lances)
