Hi I'm deciding on my Eldar army and have come up with a snag with the list I made, i.e. I have 60 points spare and can't decide what to do.

Here's the list as it stands at 1440 points:

HQ
Spiritseer, no options

70p

Troop 1
10 Guardians with an Eldar Missile Launcher

120p

Troop 2
10 Guardians with an Eldar Missile Launcher

120p

Troop 3
5 Wraithguard with Wraithcannons

160p

Troop 4
5 Wraithguard with Wraithcannons

160p

Troop 5
5 Wraithguard with D-Scythes

160p

Troop 6
5 Wraithguard with D-Scythes

160p

Heavy Support 1
3 War Walkers with 1 Scatter Laser and 1 Starcannon Each

210p

Heavy Support 2
Fire Prism with Holo Field

140p

Heavy Support 3
Fire Prism with Holo Field

140p

I've already played this list at 1000 points without one of the D-Scythe Wraith squads and both Fire Prisms and liked how it played, but since I regularly play Tau the lack of long range firepower irked me somewhat hence the addition of the prisms and the new Scythe Squad is 'cause Ap2 flamers are fun ;p

Still I can't decide on the last 60 points since I feel one 2 shuriken catapult vyper may be a bit flimsy and an aegis is a bit much for just 2 Guardian Squads and still leaves me with 10 points left over.

Thanks for any help given.

If you turn the EMLs into Scatter Lasers or ShuriCannons, you could afford 3 Reapers. They're an awesome long range anti infantry squad that'd tear through tau like butter... Or, alternatively, you could go for a squad of Warp Spiders. They're a really great, cheap, fast squad that would complement your footdar list pretty well.

Ah, just noticed the mistake with the heavy support since I couldn't take the reapers since the walkers and the prisms take up the 3 slots. Plus I meant I'm usually the tau player so I'm more used to long range everything rather than the 12" of death list that this is.

It costs points to upgrade Wraithguard to have D-Scythes, so you are 40 points over, not 60 points under. So there's one problem solved, and another created.

Ah didn't notice that (makes a lot of sense actually). Here's the revised 1500p list.

HQ
Spiritseer, no options

70p

Warlock

35p

Troop 1
10 Guardians with an Eldar Missile Launcher

120p

Troop 2
5 Wraithguard with Wraithcannons

160p

Troop 3
5 Wraithguard with Wraithcannons

160p

Troop 4
5 Wraithguard with D-Scythes

210p

Troop 5
5 Wraithguard with D-Scythes

210p

Heavy Support 1
3 War Walkers with 1 Scatter Laser, 1 Starcannon and Star Engines Each

255p

Heavy Support 2
Fire Prism with Holo Field

140p

Heavy Support 3
Fire Prism with Holo Field

140p

Even if it's at 1500p now I'd still like to know what the community thinks.
