Got a tau friend. We play what we call friendly unfriendly games. A bit of nastiness, not full competitive, good for a laugh.

As I've started my eldar almost from scratch he's suggested playing at 1500 for now. So I've gone for this at 1499 as I own all but the spiders.

HQ - Farseer Skyrunner. Singing spear. Spirit stone.
HQ - Farseer. Spear.

Troops - 5x Jetbikes with scatter lasers and warlock upgrade.
Troops - 4x Jetbikes with shuriken cannons and warlock upgrade. Farseer Skyrunner goes here.

Elites - 5x Wraithguard with D-scythes in a wave serpent with TL scatter lasers and shuriken cannon with holo fields. Footseer goes here.

Fast attack - 6x swooping hawks including exarch with sun rifle.
Fast attack - 5x warp spiders including exarch

Lord of war - Wraithknight (here's my biggest issue.... I'll definitely take two scatter lasers, but sword and shield, or dual cannons....)

easy take the shield + suncannon and two scatterlasers... and now your mean but not "one of them"

I see what you're saying.... But I'm definitely taking one of the two. I'm not paying £70 and then modelling it in a sub optimal build.

Magnets.

Heavy Wraithcannons to put down some D!!!

You can always magnetize the Wraithknight... I made the mistake of not doing so, and putting the shield and sword on him... and selling the extra bits (for a decent amount actually) on Ebay.... :( I wish I had the extra bits at least, so I could rip the arm off and put the gun on it instead.

I think I'm sold on the cannons to be fair.

I just put the sword and the guns on. When im using the guns (all of last edition) I just say the swords decoration, and when im running the sword, the guns are decoration.
You can do anything if you paint it nice enough

I magnetized the wraithknight arms.. but beware that gw giive you 4 arms and 2 gun barrels ..while giving you 5 hands and 5 gun ends.. hard to explain... but traumatic.. and a bit evil... so in order to magnetise properly (at the shoulder, as all models should be) I used a pair of strong neodium magnets that looks like a 5pence piece plus a long 10mm protruding pin adjacent to a 10mm deep receiving hole to stop the "snapped into place" magnet rotating under the weight.. I then bought a 3rd right arm on ebay then split a barrel cunningly into half and only the outer half of the d canon is actually modelled.. you can't tell..

Be warned it is a messy job magnetising this boy properly
