Right off the bat the second list looks a lot more all round and thus should be quite a bit more competitive.

The mantle of the laughing god stops your Farseer from being able to join the Jetbikes though, so what is their role in the second list as at just three they're not really that great...

Well, the 2nd list has a bit more variety. So I'd opt for it.

I asked the guys at Forge the Narrative, and they said the first list was better. I was leaning towards it, but the question is AA. In 1500 games I'll likely be facing one flyer at most, so is 4 Wave Serpents enough?

Do you need to kill flyers when you can negate a flyer's damage by simply jinking?

Ever since FMC have been nerfed, I've put a very low priority on AA and everything has been fine.

Another question is should I take two Wraithknights? I could swap out one for a Fragon Serpent.

No, please not. Two WK's are overkill and tactically not very wise. Take one and integrate 3 Warwalkers with dual scatterlasers. Much more bang for the bucks. The Jetseer could improve their shooting via guide or prescience.

One of the nastiest lists I could make would be this....

3 jet bikes 51

heavy support
wraith knight 240
wraith knight 240

Lord of War:
Eldar lynx with scatter laser and sonic lance.

Most tournaments I plan on attending don't allow FW, but other than that it looks pretty great.

Well with the stompa in the codex, that very well might change. Plus, the lynx doesnt have the D weapon, so I doubt they would complain.

Well, there is a forum rule regarding duplicative posts. This looks like 80% of the eldar lists out there, no need to go over the same exact issues. It's perfectly acceptable to comment on such, as many people have in the past.

OP just ignore people like this. Obviously we know its a net list, its over powered, and many others play it. If we post a list, that generally means we would have no problem fielding it.
