Subject: [2000] - Mostly Standard Eldar with a Controversial twist
Mostly standard Eldar but i didnt have any more "good" units so i used venoms to fill up a small gap. I know people say they are not good at all but for a bit extra firepower and modility + toughness to tie up shooty stuff in combat i feel like they can be pretty useful. People say they are super fragile and not worth it but they can withstand light arms fire so you need to dedicate anti-armour but my opponents should be targeting my stronger vehicles, if they dont thats better for me. Any suggestions on that or the rest of the list?

Maybe I'm an idiot... but where are the venoms? they're not in this list friend unless i'm going blind? how many of them are there? going ynarri, 4 would move your dire avengers and fire dragons into position quickly... I feel like you meant Vypers? which are just Eldar Flying attack Bikes, and perfectly fine in a list with armoured target saturation

Well, I'd give the Autarch a reaper launcher as in the index and I'd replace Eldrad with a Farseer Skyrunner. Increased mobility can be key.
The rest is pretty straightforward. Not overly competitive.

You could run it as Biel tan, you've got a lot of shuriken shots so plenty of free re-rolls leaving the autarch free to concentrate on the fire dragons or whatever needs arise.
But it looks a fun army to play, probably won't win a GT for you but it's decent enough to have fun with.
You'd have to lose Eldrad obviously so might be a non-stater for you but the army probably works out better that way.

And i was kinda trying to avoid the skyrunner to decrease amount of drops but I'll consider putting him/her in. Does the reaper launcher have to be modelled, idk how to have the lance and launcher (I like the look of the lance one) but if i gotta pick one the reaper launcher is the stronger option.

^Just figured out how to do this XD. I dont have the model and would go with what was mentioned above too about getting rid of Eldrad, I'll try it out!
Thanks!

Yeah, I guess. My Autarch sits on a Vyper with a laser lance and the Vyper has a missile launcher on top. GW has let me play this model in a GT. So I think it would be fine for you too.

That's a great idea, I think it would look awesome! It would free up another bike to make another shining spear and the extra points from getting rid of the vypers I could use to upgrade some stuff. The only thing is I worry about my DMG output turn one, not much can do anything unless I throw my Shing spears at them but I don't want them to die right away.
Nvm I just put it into battlescribe and I have 30pts for upgrades with the reaper launcher and a shining spear so I can still use 2 vypers as a distraction/unit to tie stuff up

Well, I often evaluate an army by the damage output in first turn. Just approaching the enemy and hoping everything goes fine with not too many losses in turn 1 is often not enough. I play Eldar as a shooty army with some counter elements. Dark Reapers are great for decimating shooty units as are shuriken weapons if you play Biel-Tan.

Ok so the first version would be more casual, if i replace the dragons with dark reapers (had to move some other stuff around too) but i think i got myself a more competative list for tournaments
For the battalion, I'd take Biel-Tan as you have a lot of shuriken shoots.
Serpents don't need upgrades. This would free some more pts.
I'd give the Farseer guide and doom.

The list looks pretty solid, add in a spirit seer with protect instead of the quicken warlock to round out the points.. I'd keep the vectored engines personally, with the fire dragons inside they'll draw a lot of heat and the minus to hit from advancing will make them that bit more survivable.
