First eldar list, using the iyanden supplement. Just wondering if this would be a competitive list. Thanks in advance

Farseer w/ Jetbike and Spear of Teuthlas

Farseer w/ Jetbike and celestial lance

10 Jetbikes w/ 3 Shuriken Cannons

10 Jetbikes w/ 3 Shuriken Cannons

Wraithknight w/ scatter laser

Wraithknight w/ scatter laser

Wraithknight w/ Suncannon, scatter shield and scatter laser

I like the theme, and it would certainly be competitive, if nothing else because it is so drastically different.

The spear of teuthlas is pretty good for the cost, so I would keep it. Drop the celestial lance though, it is outright garbage. It is as or more likely to kill your own flimsy jetbikes than the enemy. A singing spear is a fraction of the cost, and your seer should not really be in combat anyways...

You only need 9 jetbikes to unlock the 3rd cannon, so drop the 10th. Points saved that can go towards a jetlock for each squad. The jetlock offers more psychic support as well as raw psychic dice and a singing spear.

I figure you have the scatter lasers on the heavy d cannon knights for AA, but drop those. Either guide/prescience them, or just ignore fliers while you dominate the ground game. Pop transports then assault anything that you can beat, having the bikes shoot the rest. Dropping the lasers should net you points for a jetlock w/spear in each squad(combined with dropping the lance and 10th biker)

I assume your going to run the scattershield knight as your warlord for the T8 6W 3+/5++ behemoth? I strongly suggest the wraithforge stone since you have 3 knights. If you position right, you can just spam heal them as they wreck havoc across the field.

Half saim hann, half iyaden I like! For starters it's a very mobile list and has very strong anti armour and anti troop/horde. I am assuming the first 2 wraith knights are with wraithcannons, so judging that the scatter laser hits 2 str 10 shots or possibly 4 if you just fire them without SL. But what is your plan for things like crisis suits because str 10 would be a waste... Good list though!

Shouldn't it have some ghost warriors to be iyaden. You just took the strong wraithknights and jet bikes.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
And I think if you shoot a scatter laser you can then only shoot one of the wraithcannons.

The list seems to be begging for some Spirit Seers to run with those WKs doesn't it?

The Wraith Knights, being Monstrous Creatures, are limited to 2 firing weapons a turn (If I recall correctly). So the Scatter Lasers wont be firing assuming the Cannons have an optimal target, and I do think adding some Warlocks would be a nice touch.

Also, not sure if Spirit Seers can take a bike can they? If they can, and you use the Iyanden book, they work like Warlocks with multiple models for 1 HQ slot.

Nice list! I hope to have my first game using my Eldar soon!

Yeah some really good points there Dr Serling. Thanks, only put the lance on because I made a cool conversion for it, did have doubts though
