Hello to all I have recently acquired the new Codex: Eldar Craftworlds and am looking for army help.
I've been playing 40k for about a year so don't worry i'm not that much of a noob.
I'm basically looking for a really competitive 2000 point army that involves Eldrad and Bahrroth.
Any help or feed back is appreciated.

What models do you have available?

I have Eldrad, Bahrroth and a Farseer

Are you looking for "show my friends I can beat em even if I am new" or "my friends have all agreed to not play my army anymore" type of competative? I would think long and hard before choosing option 2.

I'm not really new but I've only got a 1 years worth of experience with marines.
So its more of a "show my friends I can beat em even if I am new" type of list.
But i'd like to make it as competitively as possible.

Well, in terms of Eldar the meta has changed a bit.
In the old codex, Serpent spam was very strong
while in the new one, Serpents got nerfed (and they deserved it)
and other units like Jetbikes become much better.

Sort of a rough list on what i'd like to go for.

Eldar:
Bahrroth Cry of the Wind-170 points

Seer Council
Farseer-100 points
Eldrad Ulthwe-195 points
1 Warlock Concave-175 points

Swooping Hawks x 6-80 points
Swooping Hawks x 6-80 points

Windrider jetbike x3-51 points
Windrider jetbike x3-51 points
Windrider jetbike x3-51 points
Windrider jetbike x3-51 points

2 x Fire Prisms- 250 points

Guardian Squad x 12 - 108 points
Guardian Squad x 12 - 108 points

Night Spinner-100 points

1x Wraithlord-120 points

1 x Wraithknight-Two Heavy Wraith Cannons-295-points

1 x Wraithknight-Ghost Glaive, Scattershield-295-points

Points- 2280

Aren't Wraithknights LoW? Doesn't that mean you're only allowed 1 per Combined list?
It's easy enough to split this into 2 Combined lists, though.

Yeah they are Lords of War, my bad.

Hmmm. You don't have the right units to open up more than LoW slot. Are you playing Unbound? If you're going battleforged, consider regrouping your units into something like the following:

1. Small Cad (Skydude can lead this) with Guardians; opens LoW slot for one of your Wraith Knights and you can put Wraithlord, Night Spinner and Fire Prisms in it.
2. Windrider Host: Put your Seer Council on Jet Bikes (sorry, but drop Eldrad, you won't miss him too much)
3. Get a THIRD Farseer (put it on a bike), regroup your jetbikes into 3 units of 4 and add at least one Vyper (tax). This opens up another LoW slot for your other Wraith Knight. as well as granting access to the Craftworld Warhost benefits.
3. Reconfigure your Swooping Hawks into 3 units and take them as an Aspect Host.

My guess is that dropping Eldrad will pay for most of the changes. The next thing to put on the block would be the Nightspinner (taking these in less than a squadron of 3 isn't worth it). After that, the Wraithlord could/should go.

So:
Combined Arms Detachment (+Wraith Knight)
Craftworld Warhost: Windrider Host (+Seer Council + Aspect Host + Wraith Knight)

Thanks i'll will definitely do this. This seems a lot better then my initial list.
P.S The reason I added the Wraithlord and Night spinner was I got them for free so I thought i might as well use them.

I completely understand. When I first started playing, I just played with what I had. Nothing wrong with that at all.

This could be made into 2 full CAD's for 2 LOW slots, but lots of tourny's limit you to 1 CAD max. This could also be split into an Eldar Warhost if you have a vyper and jetbike farseer and jetbike warlock council and dropping the guardian squads.
