These are the 2 1850 lists that I most use/ am most excited about using. Which list do you like? Please give feedback on why you like which list (tactics, personal preference of allie, whatever)

Eldar with Dark Eldar aliies (Corsair style, but still too closely connected with Saim-Hann to use Corsair rules)
Spoiler:
ELDAR CAD- [1343pts]
______HQ___________________
Farseer Skyrunner w/ Spear
Autarch Skyrunner w/ Laser lance & Banshee mask

______Troops________________
5 Windriders w/ Scatter lasers
3 Windriders w/ Scatter lasers
3 Windriders w/ Scatter lasers
3 Windriders w/ Scatter lasers

______FA____________________
Hornet w/ 2 Pulse Lasers
Hornet w/ 2 Pulse Lasers
Crimson Hunter Exarch

______LoW__________________
WraithKnight w/ 2 Shuricannons

______Fort__________________
Void Shield Generator w/ 3 Shields

DARK ELDAR CAD- [506pts]
______HQ___________________
Lhamaean

______Troops________________
5 Warriors w/ Blaster
-----Venom w/ 2x Splinter cannons
5 Warriors w/ Blaster
-----Venom w/ 2x Splinter cannons

______FA____________________
Venom w/ 2x Splinter cannons
Venom w/ 2x Splinter cannons
6 Reavers w/ 2 Cluster caltrops

19 units, 8 Objective secured = [1849 pts]
Tactics for this list are to use reserves and the VSG to protect against Alpha-strike armies, while having a good Alpha strike myself. Autarch joins the Reavers.
As this is a competitive, yet casual list, I usually let my opponent choice with WK variant I'll use: Wraithcannons or Glaive/Shield

----------------

Eldar with Grey Knight allies (Using a NSF to model proto-type anti-deamon Wriath-constructs as 'count as' GKs)
Spoiler:
ELDAR CAD- [1078pts]
______HQ___________________
Farseer Skyrunner

______Troops________________
5 Windriders w/ Scatter lasers
3 Windriders w/ Scatter lasers
3 Windriders w/ Scatter lasers
3 Windriders w/ Scatter lasers

______FA____________________
Hornet w/ 2 Pulse Lasers
Hornet w/ 2 Pulse Lasers

______LoW__________________
WraithKnight w/ 2 Shuricannons

______Fort__________________
Void Shield Generator w/ 3 Shields

Grey Knight Nemesis Strike Force- [768pts]
______HQ___________________
Librarian w/ Hammer

______Troop_________________
5 Terminators-- 1 Psycannon/Halberd, 3 Halberds (Justicar) & 1 Hammer

______Heavy________________
DreadKnight w/ Teleporter, Great sword, Heavy Psycannon & Incinerator
DreadKnight w/ Teleporter, Great sword, Heavy Psycannon & Incinerator

13 units, 4 Objective secured = [1846 pts]
Again using the VSG to protect against Alpha-strike, however this list relies on durability and CC a bit more. Terminators almost always attempt to Deep-Strike turn 1


In either list, I can swap 2 Scatter lasers per Windrider unit for Shuricannons instead, and often will for less competitive games.
Any thoughts?

I'd say GK. More mastery levels. Has 2 dread knights to back the WK up against things that might tar pit it vs paper transports that will jink pretty quickly losing all damage output, a worthless HQ (even if it is only what, 10pt or something?). If you want a casually competitive list, go DE. More competitive without full on ultra cheese, GK.

DQ:90S++G++M----B--I+Pw40k07+D+++A+++/areWD-R+DM+
