I've been debating playing between my Eldar and Tyranids for an upcoming tournament in May. Posted the tyranid list a long time ago and I'm finding I'm having a difficult time trying to play Tyranids in a set allowed time. So I decided to put a list together out of my Eldar which I have been playing for years. Your thoughts and opinions would be great. Hopefully that will help me decide which race to play.

Each spiritseer goes with the wraithguard. I have always liked the Eldar small numbers and skimmer action. Not to mention those tanks! who doesn't like looking at them

I like it, not quite the internet spam list but still solid.
Love crimson hunter with a passion, only opinion is drop marksmen eye, its useless, your probably better off taking some trinket on your spiritseers.

I've been trying out the crimson hunter for a few games and I also gotta say, I love it. That extra 90° pivot is so useful!

I put the marksmen eye in there so I have a better chance to spread more damage with my group of two hunters. I remember one game I took out a group of 2 vendettas with only 1 crimson hunter. It was awesome. If you think I could remove it and pick up a trinket, that would probably be beneficial.

Any thought on what should be the warlord?

Depends, if your going iyanden you can make the knight your warlord, some of the traits can really help him. Though he becomes even more of a fire magnet.

Like it.

Changed out the marksmen eye for some spirit stones and split the crimson hunters into two separate groups. Played this a couple times and I seemed to enjoy it.

List looks fun, I find that you don't need vectored engines. Remember that only 1 Crimson Hunter per Detachment may be an Exarch. If I were the run a 2nd 1 in a single CAD I would put Starcannons on it.

As said, drop the vector engines.
I'd take a stock WK.
In this way, you could add a small jetbike unit.
