Hello everyone! With my Elysian Drop Troops nearing completion and the fact I am planning on collecting a massive amount of them (around 4000-5000pts) I have decided that now is the time to find a second army to mix things up and to add some variety into the world of 40k. Now I am naturally an aggressive player by nature and wanted an army that had speed, could maneuver and have the firepower to back it up, being a big fan of the Eldar since I got into 40k I am very much interested in creating an army of them (though still debating which craftworld). There is a tournament coming up in November that I plan on attending with either a Mech Eldar or Tau army and wanted to see what you guys thought as I am relatively new to Eldar. As usual any comments, thoughts and ideas are more then welcome, thanks for reading guys!

HQ:

-Spirit Seer

TROOPS:

-x5 Dire Avengers

HEAVY SUPPORT:

-Fire Prism
*w/ Shuriken Catapult, Holo Fields, Spirit Stones

-Fire Prism
*w/ Shuriken Catapult, Holo Fields, Spirit Stones

TOTAL ARMY: 1000 POINTS

Tactics:

-Wave Serpents will move around the board kiting my opponent at a distance while my Fire Prisms do the same. My Wave Serpents will also deal with any flyers that I may come across since Scatter Lasers work pretty dang well against them. Basic idea with this list is to max out as many vehicles (especially Wave Serpents) and create issues for this infantry heavy edition.

Now I do have some questions that I could use answering, probably the most important two being:

-Should I drop the second Fire Prism for something like Rangers, War Walkers or something else to make it more effective?
-And which Craftworld should I go? Alaitoc I really like because of the high number of Rangers and their color scheme but I love the Biel Tans warrior mentality, decisions!

Serpent Spam is a competitive list and hard to counter.
As a HS choice I'd count on War Walkers, altough a Prism is also good. If you switched one Prism to two of those, a dual-BL would be the way to go IMO, since your list needs AT.

Rangers rarely have places in lists nowadays, but are also not a total waste of points. Decent, but this 'Dex can do better.

As your Craftworld you should really go with the colours you like, because you don't want to spend hours and hours to paint the models and then dislike your whole army. (Well, that's why I choose Biel-Tan over Alaitoc even tough I liked their fluff ).
And may be the Biel-Tan player speaking, but your army theme fits them better. Heavy fire and Aspect Warriors. That's the stuff.

i prefer uthwe.... but your choice.

as for the list, its a great list, even if you werent just starting.

consider dropping one fire psism for 2 walkers like sommemafia said, but also consider dropping a shuiken cannon off from a fire prsism, and the changing spirit sear for autaurch, adn then give him a fusion gun. thta feels like i would do a tad better than a spirit sear

My Fire Prisms dont have Shuriken Cannons so I cant take anything away from them . And I have considered War Walkers but I feel that they would be very fragile, unless I outflanked with them and then got a nasty turn of shooting!

Oh and after doing some more research I am definitely leaning towards a Biel Tan army, they seem to be the most Warlike of all the Craftworlds so that warrior mentality is definitely appealing. That and green is my favorite color so it would be win win for me!

you would be surprised how well war walkers survive when you have other threats like wave serpents and fire prisms to scare them.
