Hi, I'm new to DakkaDakka forums, deciding to join after following the army lists for some time. I am an eldar player who is new to 40k.

I recently got the codex and rule book and thought of this list:

Farseer - 100

Troops:
6 Dire avengers with exarch 88
6 Dire avengers with exarch 88
Wave serpent with Shuriken cannon, holo-fields and scatter laser - 145
Wave serpent with Shuriken cannon, holo-fields and scatter laser - 145

Heavy Support:
Fire prism- holo-fields - 140
Fire prism- holo-fields - 140

Fast Attack:
7 Warp spiders with exarch with twin linked death spinner and fast shot - 149

My main opponent is Tau who loves his riptides and hammerheads, C&C will be appreciated and if I did anything wrong in my post that is against forum rules I will edit it.

Thank you.

What do you intend to do with the Farseer?

I want the Farseer to stay at the back and cast guide on the prisims.

I suggest to drop the fire prisms and change it to war walkers instead,more bang for the buck and kit them with either bright lances or starcannon,that should punch through riptides and hammerheads.Drop the dire avenger exarchs and add more avengers also drop the exarch on the warp spiders.

What about crisis suits? How I kill those, because bright lances are focused on Hammerheads, rip tides and devilfish.

And what's the use for my far seer?

The crisis suits can be pawned by starcannon,they're AP2 so that should shred their armor.the farseer should give presience to the war walkers to maximize their damage output and hits.

Good idea. I won't have many walkers though, how many in each squad?

Depends on what the enemy fields,I think one on each squad is good,they could target different models so some could focus on crisis suits and some on the tanks/riptides

3 war walkers with bright lances
2 war walkers with star cannon

Will that be enough?

So if the Farseer is by himself I doubt he will stay alive for very long thus giving an easy slay the warlord, I say give him a bike and mantle of the laughing god so if he is in cover or you jinx he will take non ignoring cover shots like a boss

He will be hiding behind the fire prisims so no line of sight. If I keep the prisims.
