When the 6th ed eldar codex first came out, i designed a rock paper scissors list that was based on the abuse of the eldar warlord trait 'An eye on distant events'
This Warlord Trait is standard on Eldrad so naturally he became my Lynch pin.
The old list was to use a maximum amount of wraithguard in wave serpents to abuse their power and cover saves aswell as use them as tough troops.
Now I have a much more fun and Balanced list built that employs the same tactic just without the wraith units.
Imagine a huge Bunch of Elves on jetbikes and mounted in wave serpents hurtling towards your weak flank in perfect formation, all gaining a bonus from jink,plus holofields, and finally the one turn of stealth, for a 5+,4+,3+ cover save, 2+ if turbo boosting.
Fun times!
Here is the list.

It totals 1841.
Unfortunately the Vypers don't get the holofields and neither do jetbikes,the first i cannot afford and the latter just has no access.

tell me, why did you give your fire dragons upgrades?
What do you need to kill that requires a exarch, and a melta gun with 6 inches extra range, that 5 meltas WONT kill??? nothing is the answer.

other than that list looks decent. eldrad isnt creme of the crop anymore like last edition, and dire aevenger exraches need no upgrades. or an exrach at all for that matter.

Okay i will scrap them and save some points
thats 80 points saved.

I agree about dropping the fragon exarch to a normal body. Having the extra range might tempt a scenario when only the exarch has melta range or range at all, even with battle focus. The exarch+fast shot is OK cause it increases the melta output of the squad by 1 but costs 2 points less than adding a dragon. Does not help with survival though. 5 dragons generally get the job done, although I have had more than 1 occasion where I popped out, point blanked a dread...and rolled 5 1's to hit.

Dropping the exarchs will give you another vyper and change, far better for your list.

EDIT: wrong list

Are there any blaring holes that i need to patch in the list, or just run with it after i drop the exarchs.
