Also is this a good start to and eldar army. Other than buying the codex is there other things id have to buy right away to play them

If you want to know whether it's worth $400, the best thing to do is to go onto GW's webpage and determine how much all of that would cost if you bought it from them. If it would cost $800 or more from GW, $400 may be a reasonable price.

I'll let Eldar players comment on whether or not that's a playable set of models or not.

That seems more than worth it.

Full retail is around 1200 CAD Plus taxes

Then, yeah, 400 CAD is probably a decent price for a second hand army.

Again, this comment has no bearing on whether or not the models are worth playing.

Any eldar players to chime in

It's very playable, but not competitive in the traditional Eldar sense. You already have a nice CAD, complete with Objective holding units, strong backfield fire support and good psychic support. You have enough models for a Aspect Host Formation with Avengers, Scorpions and Dragons and while the Scorpions might suffer from a +BS, the Serpent they can Infiltrate in won't complain.

Missing Jetbikes and a Wraithknight or two, and I'm a big fan of Crimson Hunters, but this is a very good core to build from as long as you're not looking to play at large events.

Good to know! Thanks man

Its a good start but not enough for cheesedar. Needs a wraithknight or 2 and probably a bunch of jetbikes and another wave serpent or 2.

I dont play competitive very often.

Good

Picked it up. Also to my surprise it came with 4 unbuilt jet bikes!
