This list is for an upcoming tournament which is allowing the use of escalation et al. At a 1500 point level the reverent titan is going to be too much of a burden, making the Lynx a far more suitable option.


Eldar + Dark Eldar

Void shields x 3 - 100

Lynx - 320


Farseer - Jetbike, mantle, spear -160


Jetbikes x3 - 51

Jetbikes x3 - 51

Jetbikes x3 - 51

Jetbikes x3 - 51

Rangers x 5 - 50


Crimson hunter - 160

Warp spiders x 7 - 133


Dark eldar

Vect - 240

Wyches x 5 + haywire/ Venom + sc - 125


Alternative allies - Tau (minus the SC and one unit of jetbikes)

Ethereal - 50

Kroot x 10 + hound - 65

Skyray

No allies

War walkers x 2 + Scatter lasers OR Autarch - jetbike + fusion




What the list does -

Lynx : Cancels any slow moving deathstar build and helps with Titan blocking.

The good thing about it - it's ability to fly to avoid D- weapons

Problems - Can only move 12 and fire.

Farseer - guide/ staying alive is his only job

Troops - small units of 3 with cannons mean ill be forcing grounding checks as often as possible.

C. Hunters - Anti-flyer support, with the help of the farseer they should be somewhat useful before they get shot down.

Spiders - Mixed role unit, although they're mainly anti-flyer and will force my opponent to shift his forces to deal with them.

What the dark eldar bring -

Wyches + Venom -

12 poisoned shots for C'tan killing (or wounding) and 5 haywire grenades.

Haem. - He gives the wyches pain tokens and hides.

Finally the tau -

The skyray - gives me an added extra to flier support.

The kroot - an extra scoring unit probably best just to hide them.

Ethereal- makes sure i dont get tabled.




Comments are welcome.

Your point values for your normal bike squads are off by 1 point.

Other then that take pure eldar unless seer council for the baron.

i quite like the list.
I dont know much about dark eldar ( ) so i cant really comment on them.
Tau seems like a good addition, but you already have a good amount of anti air.
Pure eldar also works.

good luck

I use FW in my list. 2 Mortis contemptor dreads in fact. But I would refuse to play against a 320 pt model that gets D weapons.

Do you actually think this will make a fun game?

Drop Haem and Crimson hunter with Exarch as well as a single shuri cannon (Admit it, they are just filler. You don't WANT to use them) and add Vect. You have a Lynx with a D-Weapon, when someone has a D-Weapon whoever goes first has a good chance of winning, Vect gives you a 75% chance of going first or better (4+ seize, 3 + if enemy has a LoW coice) as well as drastically effecting he enemies deployment for fear of being seized upon.

I'd also recommend swapping a jetbike unit for a ranger unit because of the reserve rules only half of your army can be in reserve, right now almost ALL your army apart from Lynx and Farseer want to be in reserve. 4 Jetbikes, a ranger squad an a wych squad are more then enough for your scoring needs.

@BlackJack.

If you feel that way I would assume you wouldn't go to a tournament that allows uncomped escalation, so if you would refuse a game or not is irrelevant. And if you did go o said tournament it would be rude in the extreme to judge people for taking units that are perfectly ok by the rules, then waste their time for a round (Yes, hey come to PLAY to) when you refuse to play. Hate the game, not the player.

Alexis, I do hate the current state of the game.

I don't hate the player. But, even as a competitive player myself, I can't understand enjoying a game involving units like these.

So I suppose I would not participate in a tournament like that.

My question remains though. Has anyone actually had fun playing 1500pt games with dweapons and the ilk?

of course. There rair, and they mostly invlolve both players having d weapons but it can be done.

I see what you mean with Vect ( it's actually a brilliant idea).I'll taking first turn not matter what, forcing his titan into reserve meaning one turn of shooting followed by a turn of placing my lynx into flyer mode, thereby avoiding his alpha-strike.



Cheers for the comments.
