Thoughts? I am very new to Eldar so go easy on me. This is my first list

With a few nessisary changes this lsit can be great.
1: farseer needs a jet bike. With a jet bike it gains jink just by moving (a 5+ cover save) This combined with the mantle of the laughing god (+3 to his cover save) means that your farseer will have a 2+ cover save that he can REROLL just by moving. How awesome is that?
2: Wraithknight can only shoot 2 weapons a turn (its a MC) so drop one starcannon (and buy that bike for the farseer) And then replace the other one with a scatter laser. Twin linking those juicy blasts is a nice bonus.
3: Give your wraithlord x2 lances or x2 star cannons. Better to have the wraithlord with one role, rather than mixed roles.

Tbh I would just field the eldar however you want their codex has no bad units regardless of how you configure them. And as a result your guaranteed to kill many of the things. I'll be happy when the new rulebook drops and magic gets nerfed into the ground.

WOW. That is really cool. This was mainly a fluffy list. I doubt I will use it for competitive play. Just for Fun.

In future I wish to add an Elites and Fast Attack choice.

I was thinking a Crimson Hunter and am still unsure as to what for the Elites section.

In the eldar codex there is only 1 poor (not bad because I wish they were good) unit is the banshee, anything else is good to great.

As for your list no need to change anything except having no more then 2 weapons on your wraithknight because being a MC he can only shoot 2 weapons and anything more is a waste.

Now what I recommend for a fluffy exodite list would be for elites, scorpions, and harlequins. Fast would be hawks crimson hunters would probably not be used as they are aircraft though they would be very useful. Heavy, support batteries and reapers.

Wraith units probably wouldn't be used as they require special care that can only(?) be provided on a craftworld,

But really, take whatever you want, paint it up jungle style, and have a blast. Best of luck!

Elites would be difficult as Exodites pre-date the path system and so don't have Aspect Shrines. That said, Aspects are independent of Craftworlds and so it could be theorized that They could set up shrines on an Exodite world. Also, the Biel-Tan craftworld commonly provides protection for Exodite worlds, and they are an Aspect-Heavy Army. Since you're not shying away from the use of Wraith units (even though Exodites avoid technology believing it to be the cause of the Eldar Fall), You could take Wraithguard/Wraithblades. An alternative would be Harlequins since they frequently visit Exodite worlds.

For fast attack, If you don't mind kit-bashing you could make some shining spears riding Cold Ones, or Terradons (as Exodites are commonly seen riding dinosaurs and dragons). You could also use forgeworld Wasp Assault Walkers as War Walkers are very common among Exodites

Lastly, Exodites clans are led by their strongest Warriors, not seers. Though it is entirely possible for them to have psykers, they would not be a likely leader. Unfortunately this restriction only leaves you with an Autarch, which again breaks the fluff, since Autarchs are direct products of the path system. You may consider having your own "Autarch equivalent" whereby you make your own bad-ass looking warrior, give him a name and a back-story then say he "counts-as" an Autarch. On that note - two personal favourite loadouts of mine for a Mantle autarch are:
- Jetbike, Mantle, Reaper Launcher (power sword optional)
The jetbike makes him relentless, so he can move and shoot with the reaper launcher, which is fantastic against MEQ.
- Jetbike, Mantle, Laser Lance, Fusion Gun.
fantastic anti-tank/TEQ harasser. Use hit and run to ensure maximum effect of the laser lance.


All of these suggestions are purely fluff based and won't make a list that will win you any tournaments. But it seems like you're going more for fun than competitive, so have at it!

I think if your budget can fit it, go dino riding elves all the way, there are many helpful blogs/guides to show you how to model as such if you want, or just be creative!

Thanks guys. It really means alot.
