Flyrants can deploy on the flanks, and zoom forth. Spores Deepstrike of course. Farseer can summon or guide stuff as needed but strictly speaking it shouldn't be necessary.

If the hawks die (they will) what is your anti vehicle? Av14? a single fire prism lance shot takes 5 turns to glance ONE AV12 to death.. so night spinners seem wrong tbh.. all fireprisms?

This list is an abomination to fluff everywhere, but I like it from a competitive sense.

you might as well get the Spirit Stone of Athalan on your Farseer so you can summon up some daemons with greater reliability.

I would be careful if you don't already own the serpents, i hear the nerf bat is comming in fast.

I would probably swap out the hawks for something (anything) else. I would proably drop a night spinner and the Hawks for Fire Dragons in a serpent with bright lances.

I don't think the wave serpents will be hit by the nerf bat, (7th edition did that with jink) they are 40k's biggest earners at the moment, (allies anyone?) also this is "craftword eldar", and it won't alter the current book..

I would swap the HS and Hawks for a pair of Wraithknights. Gives much better AT and target saturation for the Tyrants particularly in turn 1.

As for the Serpent Nerf bat? Well holos will probably change to the Harlie ones. Other than that in every Eldar codex since 3rd Ed Serpents have been the best thing in the codex and have got better in each new codex. So personally I wouldn't count on them getting weaker. They are the Dakkaflyrants of the Eldar...

Well, said Flingitnow, the Dakkaflyrants of Eldar.
The list shows what is possible.
Not everybody would battle you.

you should paint your elder as iyanden. iyanden + tyranids + summoning slaneesh daemons goes good with fluff.

If you want competitive change the hawks for spiders in the FA spot (faster, more dakka), change the HS for either war walkers or knights and drop the mantle (never found it worth it as the seer can flat out behind cover and los block anyway)

If you want fluff or are playing with units you like then enjoy!

Personally I would drop the shuricannons on the Serpents and both Nightspinners for one more Flyrant and Spirit Stone of Anath'lan.
