I recently purchased this Eldar army which consists of the models below



I want to make a beat down ITC list but can't decide between the following 3. So any advice would be great.

Eldar list 1827pts


Eldar list 2 1841pts


Eldar with DE allies 1842


Like i said, I am brand new to eldar so any advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

I either like option 1 or 3. 1 seems a little more cheesy with all the bikes, but i like how you used the shining spears. With the 3rd option maybe consider having the wraithguard and archon in a waveserpent to disembark after DS, and putting autarch with reavers

I've been playing ITC since its inception. With their nerf to D-range weps, the Sword and Board WK is better than the two D-guns, and particularly since last month's community vote to remove GC Toe-In-Cover Save. He really needs the Shimmer Shield's save.

And, the Blind Test it can cause made Space Puppies and an O'VausseR (the FW guy) Suit sad today.

I like list two best, but would definitely change the Shining Spears to simply be more ScatBikes.

List 4, a close 2nd place.

I like the sword and board WK. It has greater durability, and an extremely dangerous assault weapon.

I've tried the cannon WK, but found it lackluster in comparison.

Thanks for all the advice. I can't go sword and board with the WK bc it's modeled with the 2 d cannons (i want to stay wysiwyg). Same goes for spears going as scat bikes.

What is your guys thoughts on Hemlocks vs Hunters?

A big model like the WK makes it easy enough to rip those arms off, install REMs and be able to swap back and forth. I highly recommend magnets. If you can't do it, pay someone, especially for a big, center piece like a WK.

Both have good applications, just different roles.

The new list is okay, too. And I mean, 'okay' not optimal. Still, a good player is a good player and a good list is only as good as the the player who knows how to wield it well. Basically, start playing a list and get good with it.

Would a Void Shield Generator help keep the D Cannon WK alive longer?

It would soak up the first serious shot you got. But let's be honest, AV12 will crumble the moment a LC dev squad gives it a mean glare.
