Hello,

First list in a long time just mostly for friendly games but I seem to lose a lot against my friends Eldar.
Would like some tips/corrections on my army list for fighting (Orks, Eldar, Tau, and Space Marine(ravenguard/Ultramarine dev spam)

2000 pts (11cp)

Cadian Brigade(3cp)

HQ
Company commander- Master of Command, Power fist, las pistol.
Knight Commander Pask- Punisher, heavy bolter, Heavy bolter sponsons.
Primaris Psyker- Psychic barrier, Night shroud

Troop
Infantry Squad- 9 + Sergeant
Infantry Squad- 9 + Sergeant
Infantry Squad- 9 + Sergeant
Infantry Squad- 9 + Sergeant
Infantry Squad 7, Heavy weapon team(Heavy Bolter), Sergeant
Infantry Squad 7, Heavy weapon team(Heavy Bolter), Sergeant

Elite
Atlas Recovery Tank-Heavy Bolter
Ratlings x5
Tech Priest

Fast Attack
Scout Sentinal-Multilaser
Scout Sentinal Multilaser
Scout Sentinal Multilaser

Heavy Support
Heavy Weapon Squad-3x Mortar
Lemon Russ Battle tank-Stalk
Lemon Russ Battle Tank- Stalk

Flyer
Vakyries-Stalk

Patrol Detachment-DKOK

HQ
Death Korps Marshal-Hot Shot Lasgun, Power Sword(Blade of conquest -1cp), Memento Mori

Troop
Death Korps Grenadier storm squad- 7x base, 2x Plasma, 1x Seargent with hot shot las/chain sword.

I do enjoy using the DKOK(using kasrkin models) even though they aren't that affective. I find scions die when I deepstrike them in just out of range of the enemy.

Any suggestions?

What missions are you playing? Are there any in particular that you are struggling with against Eldar? Is it -1 to hit Elder specifically that are giving you trouble or Elder in general?

Just a few generic suggestions:

The Atlas is kind of expensive, another tech priest, astropath or officer would be good.
Grand Strategist with Kirov's Aquila is the way to go. This officer should really not have any melee weapons though because he is very valuable.
You need another Cadian officer to hold the Lost Relic.
Leman Russ Conquerors should be replacing stock Leman Russes although for the points I would consider triple Basilisks.
If you are going to take Valkyries they need to be transporting something worthwhile. Your list does not seem to have that so I would drop them or add something that wants to be close.
Multilasers are terrible use them as autocannons or really anything else.

I put aquila relic on my commander with grand stratagist.
As for the Valkyries I put the grenadier squad to get them into range to shoot and assault.
What would be a good replacement for the Patrol detachment?

If I replace the patrol detachment the psyker can take the banner.

I usually take an atlas and a tech priest because I can heal 1+2d3 a single tank. If i run 2 tech priests I can only heal each vehicle by d3 +1 from jerry rig.

As for eldar, reaper spam kills my shadowsword round 1.
And in general I don't have the speed to deal with them.

As for the conquerers, how are they better than stock battle cannons?

Ok, the list showed Master of Command not Grand Strategist but sounds like you do have the right combo.

Two plasma still feels like an underwhelming return on a Valk.

What I would replace the patrol with depends on how many points are available with other changes.

While the Atlas gives you the extra healing it is a pretty big points cost.

What banner are you giving a psyker?

I agree that one Shadowsword, or super heavy, in general struggles. I use Tallarn Ambush to mitigate this.

Catachan Conquerors allow you to always reroll the number of shots and reroll hits within 24" for the battle cannon when the storm bolter shoots the same target. That is a huge benefit for +1 point and 48" range. After all as IG you are overwhelming the enemy with dice. Something that gives you more dice and better dice at the same time, where you usually have to choose, is fantastic.
