Hello I'm going to be in a little tournament at my local 40k club and I'm trying to make a good eldar list from the stuff that I have.

This is what I have in my army:

HQ
-Eldrad Ulthran (Could easily just proxy as a farseer)

Troops
-9 Dire Avengers + 1 Exarch w/Power Weapon and Shimmershield

-3 Jetbikes

-About 45/50 Guardians (No platforms)

Dedicated Transport
-Wave Serpent w/TL Scatter Lasers or TL Missle Launcher (Magnetised)

Elites
-5 Howling Banshees + 1 Exarch w/Executioner

-5 Wraithguard w/D-scythes

Fast Attack
-5 Swooping Hawks + 1 Exarch w/Sunrifle

-Vyper w/Scatter Laser

Heavy Support
-Fire Prism or Nightspinner (Magnetised)

-Wraithlord w/2 Brightlances, Ghostglaive


That is what I have so what could I do for a 500 point list from this?

I will probably come up against Tau, Orks, Space Marines, Chaos Space Marines, maybe Chaos Daemons, Blood Angels, maybe Grey Knights

500 points doesn't leave room for too much creativity. At that level, you want as many troops as possible IMO. I'd grab the 3 jetbikes, WS with guardians, put in a DA squad, barebones farseer and see if you have any room for anything else.

wave serpent with 10 gardians, fire prism, spirit sear would be a good base to go off of.

Thanks for the comments wannabmoy and ninjafiredragon.

So maybe something on the lines of this:

HQ
-Farseer

Troops
-3 Jetbikes

-10 Guardians
>Wave Serpent w/TL Scatter Lasers, Holofields

Heavy Support
-Fire Prism

This is 501 points.

I think this covers MEQ with the fire prism and also it can pop tanks easily. Take out light tanks with wave serpent.

Looks good but what do you think?
