Hello all!

I am an Ork veteran switching to Eldar. I've always wanted to play an army that's a bit more shooty than melee. I currently have a 500 point Eldar army that I play every weekend with some friends. I would like to have you guys take a look at it and critique it. Tell me what's wrong, tell me what's right. What should I change? What should I keep?

Farseer (105 pts)
--Shuriken Pistol
--Singing Spear
--Rune Armor
--Ghosthelm

Wraithguard [x5] (160 pts)
--Wraithcannon

Guardian Defenders [x10] (110 pts)
--Scatter Laser Weapon Platform

Rangers [x5] (60 pts)

War Walker (65 pts)
--Shuriken Cannon
--Bright Lance


I am currently in the works of upgrading to 750 points. I have already bought (and built/painted) the units that make up 250 points to add to my existing 500-point army:

Wraithlord (175 pts) (This will be added to my Wraithguard squad)
--Shuriken Catapult [x2]
--Ghostglaive
--Starcannon
--Eldar Missile Launcher

I am also adding a second War Walker with the exact same weapons as the other (Shuriken Cannon and Bright Lance). On top of that, I am giving my Farseer the Runes of Warding to fill in the remaining 10 points.

I have also played around with a second variation of the 750-point army that has 10 Dire Avengers and a Wave Serpent with Twin Linked Bright Lances as their dedicated transport.

For my 1000-point army, I am thinking of having all of the above.

Thoughts? I am new to Eldar and I definitely have a long way to go before I will get a complete handle on them and their tactics, but with your guys' help, that can come much quicker. Thanks for taking the time to look through this and I appreciate any and all advice that you guys can give!s
