What would be the best eldar anti-tank combination below 300points? I have Iyanden, so points are tight. Below are some potentials...

2x Wraithlord- bright lance – flamers – ghost glaive – 290points
2 squads of 3x War walkers – all with bright lance – 300points
2x Falcon – Shuriken Cannon – bright lance – 270points
6x Dark reapers (1x Exach) - 7x Starshot missiles – 1x Launcher with plasma and starshot missiles – 314points

I would say the war walkers are going to dish out the most damage. You have 6 bright lances in that option as opposed to 2 in any other option (ignoring the dark reapers). War walkers also have a 5++ which is very handy and infiltrate. And if you wanted to you could throw some scatter lasers on them aswell and then your bright lances would be twin linked. In any case with the war walkers after all the tanks are dead they still have good firepower with their secondary weapon to hurt infantry aswell.

My vote is the war walkers or the dark reapers. More shots=more damage.

BL walkers are golden. Not going to get much better than 12 bright lances. There is one you left out that you should consider. The old school method of fire dragons in a falcon. A wave serpent for them would be good too. Deliver those meltas right next to whatever you need to die and they will kill it dead.

For something a little more creative, try three units of x6 swooping hawks for 288pts - Sure you're going to lose a couple getting up close, but charge in with haywire and watch tanks just melt away. Also, if you can keep them out of LOS, you effectively make a 18 inch radius "no drive zone." Against mech lists that are turtling up they're harder to use, but against landraiders, stompas, or imperial knights they are awesome!

The nice thing about hawks is that if there isn't much armor on the board, you just have them skyjump and drop grenade packs everywhere. I'd probably never take three units of them, but I have been known to take two. They're a nice dual threat unit.

Certainly some great suggestions! They'd all be fun to play in their own right. I've only played a few games, so i'm limited with exposure to Eldar tactics. These definitely seem to be more three dimensional than the Wraithlord stand and deliver format that I've used so far.

I think i'll give the War walkers a run until i'm more confident to roll with something more outlandish like Swooping Hawks or Fire dragons.

Thanks heaps.
