Fellow eldar players please tell me which you would buy first

Choice 1
2 wave serpants
Wraith knight
Warp spiders

Choice 2
2 wave serpants
4 squads of bikes
Autarch on bike

Or give me a third choice.

Depends very much what you already have?

If you don't have anything, option 2 will at least get you more of the minimums for an army (1 HQ, 2 Troops) but you'd need some foot troops in order to use the Wave Serpents.

Everything listed are good choices from the Codex, so I won't try and dissuade you from anything in particular.

well he wouldn't be buying bikes if he had any , so I say go with the bikes . Although I don't realy know what you need an autarch for.

An Autarch on JB with Mantle of the Laughing God is seeing quite a bit of love in army lists since the latest Codex, a 2+ re-roll-able cover save keeps them safe from anything except Ignores Cover weaponry and you can use him as a scalpel to take out tanks or small units. Not something I've had chance to use myself yet, but the Internet seems to like him.

We'll I can give you the run down of what I have already and then tell me what which to get.

Go with one, you will want jet bikes later, but the knight and brining your wave serpents up will immediately form a core to the army, you might want to look into getting the warp spiders 2nd hand as having 10 of them total with 2 exarch's is not ideal. Also getting 1 unit of bikes is usefull as having 3 as a scoring unit is almost always a good idea.

I have 240 to play with so

Wraith knight
2 wave serpants
One squad of bikes

Will this do in rounding out the army

More Warp Spiders would work, either as one larger unit or as two smaller threats, as you have room in Fast Attack.

You've certainly got units that benefit from Serpents (Fire Dragons, Wraithguard), but I'd say you've worked that out already (since both choices in the OP had them).

The Falcons can obviously fill-in, taking 5 FD's or DA's each, for tank-busting or objective-grabbing respectively.

Adding a Wraithknight will mean dropping one of the Falcons, or doubling-up FOC's at 2000 points, but with toughness-saturation from the Avatar and Wraithguard could work quite well.

I use a unit of Jetbikes as a fast scoring unit, kept in reserve and then whooshing about the board trying not to die, so I would suggest 3-6 rather than 12, as you already have presumably the 10 Wraithguard walking up the middle with Seer support to take an opponent's objective, and the Rangers / Guardians / Dire Avengers holding your own?



It's quite probable that the above wittering hasn't helped you at all, for which I apologize!

I do like the larger number of warp spiders rather then jet bikes. But with the jet bike speed it's so temping. So it's final wraith knight spiders and two wave serpants thanks guys
