Hi all, I've made a 1000 point list for my eldar. I have had a small force for a while so I've had some experience. This is my 1000 Point list planned to shoot stuff down.
Please give me any recommendations for my list. Thanks!

-HQ: Farseer - 100 PTS

-Elite: 4 Fire Dragons + Exarch w/ Firepike and Fast Shot - 145 PTS

-Troop: 9 Dire Avengers + Exarch w/ Power Weapon and Shimmershield - 160 PTS

-Troop: 10 Guradian Defenders + Scatter Laser - 110 PTS

-Troop: 3 Windrider Jetbikes, 1 with Shuriken Cannon - 61 PTS

-Fast Attack: 4 Warp Spiders + Exarch w/ TL Deathspinner - 100 PTS

-Fast Attack: Crimson Hunter Exarch - 180 PTS

-Heavy Support: Fire Prism w/ Holo Fields - 140 PTS

Total: 996 PTS


My main goal is to take out heavy tanks, flyers with the crimson hunter and the fire dragons and fire prism. The other units can really shoot and unit successfully. The can contest last turn OBJ's and the farseer guides and presciences everyone. Thanks!

Your actually over. Redo the math on your warp spiders, they should cost 110.

That said, you can drop the exarch altogether and just run a normal spider. Round out the list with another guardian for a nice even point save.

A footlist can work, but be careful as your fragons will be a prime target. WIth battle focus you should get the melta off fine. I take it the farseer rolls with the guardians for Ld purposes?

Should do fine, but will take some skill to pull off.

At 1000 points I don't think you have the troop count to include the exarch upgrades. I would cut those for normal Warp Spiders, Fire Dragons, and Dire Avengers.

I think Footdar can work in lower-point games, but not "short-ranged nearly immobile" Footdar. Battle Focus is good but is more of a short-range maneuverability bonus than something you should expect to get you across the table to where you need to be. The short range, low mobility, and low durability of your foot troops means most of them will be shot to hell before they get a chance to do anything. I would strongly consider Wave Serpents to protect your troops and deliver them where they need to go, but if you're set on Footdar, at least consider taking some Wraithlords, a Wraithknight, or even the Avatar to fill the "big tanky fire magnet" role. The T8 can actually be incredibly effective in low-point games.

fragons need no upgrades. the exrach may get one extra shot with 6" more, but 1 shot wont do anything vs anything. they only kill stuff when whole squad is in range, and then they kill hard
