Hello people, I have a battle against a 850 points Space marine army with my 850 points Eldar Army on Wednesday, and I don't know if I have any chance what so ever of a victory or just avoiding being massacred.

My 850 points Eldar army list consist off,

Eldrad Ulthran, 205 points
Karandras the Shadow hunter, 230 points
2 warlocks, 75 points
5 striking scorpions, 85 points
5 dire Avengers with a Exarch, 103 points
3 dark reapers, 90 points
and 5 Rangers. 60 points

Probably not the best selection of models for a well balanced Eldar army.
Unfortunately I can't change the army list as there are all the models that I have with me.

My main concern is there any way I can take out a space marine stormravern gunship and a space marine predator?
Karandras should be pretty good at taking out a tank if I can get close enough, but how would I deal with the storm raven gunship?

Any tips or advice would be great.

Well, in small point games you need numbers.
What models do you have?

All the models I have with me are all I have to play with as I left the rest of the army at home, So I'm limited to what my army list is.
22 models all together.
I shouldn't have taken two special characters really as they cost 435 together half of the points cost almost.

I was thinking if I put Eldrad and one of the warlocks with the dire avenger squad and the other warlock with Karaudaus and the striking scorpions squad, that should add more fire power to the squads.

I just don't know what to do with the Dark Reapers and Rangers?

No offence but something tells me you won't get advice other than "Get wave serpents" from eldar players

Doesn't seem you have much choice here. But it's not hopeless nevertheless. Utilise eldrad's psychic potential. Usually, he's a buffer, but it's reasonable to at least get psychic shred from telepathy. Or invisibility. Striking scorps with invisibility are gona be troublesome for anyone in mellee. If not killy than durable.

Dark reapers should be far away in ruins and with s8 upgrade.

Ummm.....your going to have to either have God like luck or God like strategy if your planning on doing decent with that list.
Because literally nothing in it is a great choice for an army list.

I'm thinking Reapers to take out the gunship.

Stick your warlocks on jetbikes, upgrade to singing spears and go CC vs the pred.

Or use outflank and try to bring Kandaras into CC with the pred.

Sooooo....how did it goooo?
