Hi everyone,

So, I have a smattering of some Eldar units, some were gifts, which explains the abundance of heavies and lack of solid core. But I'd like to pad my force out, but I don't compete, just play friendly games. So any suggestions for building upon what I have? I'd like to make it fluffy for Ulthwe, so I know I need more guardians and warlocks.

Here's what I have:
1 Farseer Skyrunner
1 Autarch modeled with wings
2x units of 3 Windriders (1 unit magnetized weapons, 1 unit glued w/ shuriken cannons)
1 unit of Wraithguard/blades (all arms magnetized)
2 Wraithknights, both arms magnetized (These were gifts, so don't say "Why you have two wraithknights if you want to be fluffy?" lol )

What I'm thinking I'd like to do to start is maybe get a couple wave serpents and units of guardians? I just don't know what use guardians have, having not played with them. They seem really fragile having just 12" range and only T3 with 4+, which is why I'd stick em in a wave serpent, maybe with the crystal matrix for added maneuverability.

I'd also like to grab some warp spiders and a unit of fire dragons, I think.

I know this is fairly open ended, but any input you eldar players may have for places to start, I'd appreciate! Thanks!

Guardians are T3 5+ not 4+. They have a 12" Assault 2 Bolter with Bladestorm which is basically discount Rending.

I think your choices for Ulthwe are either take a Guardian Battlehost give the squads Warlocks and spam Conceal in cover and fire away with weapon platforms and the vehicles.

The other suggestion is use a CAD and put all the Guardians into Wave Serpents. Deploy close and shoot a LOT of Bladestorm shots.

Outside the Guardians an Aspect Host sounds good. I'd definitely add in some Dark Reapers because they're really good in my opinion. If you use Fire Dragons they pretty much need a transport.

Guardian Storms are not bad to vehicle up. 2 flamers or 2 fusion guns with an auto conceal/reveal warlock and hopefully some other battle enhancing spell in a waveserpent. 3 vypers are good to guide as is vauls battery, war walkers to outflank... Very doable with a seer council and then you dominate the psychic phase except for demons and perhaps grey knights.
