Doing an event that is supposed to be themed so I am doing a saim-hann army. If you have any other ideas at this point I can about field anything with eldar .

Farseer on bike with mantle of the laughing god 155

4x 5 dire avengers in wave serpents with tl scatter lasers and holo fields 800

2x3 bikes 102

1 crimson hunter 160

3x fire prisms with holo fields 420

Still have 63 point so might add some bikes or chin cannons for serpents.

Any thoughts other than the fact that it is spam my by design due to keeping a theme of fast units

love how you fit spam into a theme.

sadly, i play uthwe, and i have no excuse for my serpent spam

with extra points, shuiken cannons for serpents is way to go

I would switch the Farseer to an Autarch to help you control when the crimson hunter comes on.

came up with a less spammy alt list

205 avatar fast shot
spiritseer 70
160 wraithguard
135 ws
160 wraithguard
135 ws
51 bikes
51 bikes
65 dire avengers
135 ws
crimcon hunter exarch 180
adl w/ lascannon 85
reapers x5 exarch w/ fast shot 170
support battery 90

this leaves 8 points in the wind at 1692 i guess i could get night vision somewhere

possible swap of avatar for autarch on a bike with mantle , fusion gun banshee mask and laser lance with some points left over as 140 instead of 205 and that 65 becomes another bike squad and some other mods on something

oh an as for things i am facing for sure a couple white scar grav gun /khaine lists, and a few necron flyer spam lists

lie list 1 allot better no offence.

reapers just dont make the cut, to expensive. list just seams kind of hodgepodge.

I feel ya. Basically there are some cool custom missions going on and troops on the ground would help a lot. Also there will be necron flier lists which worry my as they will eat my grab tanks for breakfast.

well FYI reapers suck at anti air.

2 s7 shots will do nada vs fleirs

Completely right!! I don't mind reapers, quite like them. But that's very very expensive for anti air! Arguably serpent SL's are awesome against air, especially if you upgrade to chin cannons. First 4 are defo twin linked, second three will poss be twin linked, all st 6 against fliers...I think that's pretty deadly.

atcually its even better.

4 TL shots have same chance of getting 1 hit (to TL everything else) as 8 shots, and with 8 shots, you should get at least one 6. speaking figurativly of course.

chin cannon will catch you another hit vs fliers, (3 shots Tl same as 6 to get 1 hit, which it should)

serpent sheild with an average of 4.5 shots, but could be anything. all TL will net you another 1-2 shots, at S7 that ignroes there jink.

overall around 3-4 shots s6-7, which wont do alot by itself, but with 4 serpents it will do it. also repaers are more expensive....

also in list one you have a crimson hunter for even mroe Antio air. stick with list one,. youll have it covered.

The reapers were less for anti air and more for anti grab gun space marine bikers. But yeah list one is probably better still debating changing to fit 2 squads of wraithguard troops as there is lots of objectives it is an odd tournament but really fun sounding missions scoring units will be key and often score points and capture key points during movement phase so they have to be out of transports

ya, wraithgaurd troops ae fine. just lots of serpents is really good.

you could drop a fire prsim and a squad of bikes for them

It may have seemed spammy, but list 1 was a solid list. If that's what you like to play, and you're not just trying to be a schmuck, play that list. I think it's a very competitive one that'll put the hurt on people.

What about something like this?

Can drop the Spiders to holo field the 3 Fire prisms, then get a unit of 3xjetbiks

These can act as Farseers entourage without it affecting the 6 strong units harassment abilities

If you're going to drop the spiders for holo's, consider up grading a unit of wraiths to D-Scythes! And watch the enemy infantry cry!

You running normal eldar dex? Or iyanden add on?

The d scythes are amazing. i would trade at least one squad to have them.

I only have 10 wraithguard models. Otherwise I would like that list. Though I do not like using warp spiders so that is unlikely. I think the serpents need the holofields. I love the crimson hunter for anti flier and I know necron flyer spam will be there. I can play the suopliment or not I was planning to not and give he wraithguad conciel and spiritseer psychic shriek. I could modify that list spiritseer with wraithguard, 2x wraithguars. 10 dire avengers with exarch and diresword/shield for durability and give up a prism and spiders for a crimson hunter exarch and I would rather run squads of 3 jet bikes.

I was the missions they are all posted and the first list while great for gw missions would fail. Basically the troops need to be out of transepts most of the game. It includes things like taking building where you end a scoring unit movement me side a building and declare it captured. An enemy can end a scoring unit beside said building and take your token away then add their own the next turn. End of the game the one with most tokens wins. Also some scenarios you get points per turn you hold an objective one per turn instead of one just at end of the game. So... Groups of 5 DA will not cut it

Should have noted in the beginning the wraithfuard are the one model I can not spam have at least 3 squads of every other aspect though even all heavies other than wraithknights which Ionly have one of
