This list is centered around open play and is no way meant to be used in matched. There are no objective secured troops mainly because I dont want to paint them...There is however plenty of wraiths and lots of spam.

Its also one of the cheapest ways I could think to build a large army. Comprised largely of 3 "Start Collecting" boxes.

Its pretty tough for an Eldar list and has a really in your face play style.

How do you guys think this will fair?

Any room for improvements or efficiencies?

How would you combat this list?

How it will fair?
Yeah probably alright. Will get hurt by hordes pretty hard. -1 to hit won't be fun either. I'd probably give a farseer guide, and maybe a few more shuricannons?

To combat your list? Guard or ravenguard with lots of plasma would do pretty well. Inb4 martel but an assaulty BA list would do quite well tbh. Captain would tear up, scouts obsec, guard cp farm. Riptides with trackers would hurt a lot.

Specifically eldar: reapers, spears, shuri-serpents, and crimson hunters would all do insane amounts of work, more so than usual, against your list. Saim-hann autarch with lance and launcher would have an absolute field day with the characters.

Tl;dr: looks good, watch out for anti-air, anti-character, obsec/horde armies that can spam plasma equivalents.

Skip d scythes and just go a big ten man unit with ghost ax and shields and webway portal. Lol

Interesting delivery idea - I plan to stick them in wave serpents with farseers

Launch an initial Aldaeri Missle salvo then bring them in with the auto hits.

First game will likely be against world eaters + khorne daemons.

Will post results of that....or maybe space wolves when that codex drops.

10 man unit with ghost ax and shields and webway is insanely tough and must be dealt with my the enemy They kill the same or better than daxyth and are much more survivable.

I would not recommend this one. You're using well over 400 points for a 27% chance charge on turn 2, before your opponent can happily ignore and manoeuvre the painfully slow blades. It's fluffy and fun when it works, but not worth sacrificing ~20% of your army.

If you want webway damage use guard with cannons, but dscythes will do the most work overall. MSU in serpents all day.

With a spirt seer and a comand point you end up with 3 chances to make that distance. At that point its not risky.

Ah I missed that one, my bad. Still, committing so many points to a turn 2 charge on such slow elites is quite a risk. They should be tanking or killing, and they may not succeed at either.
