Hello Dakka, after lotsa brainwork on how to get the most out from an Eldar battleforce (damn Vyper in place of a Warwalker) and use almost all the units that are found in 3 of them, I've made this list that clearly goes over the limit of 1750 uwu, I don't know what to delete cause it seems everything I get rid of could be a huge loss, so here I am seeking for advice!

Boxes that are meant to be bought are:

3 * Warp Spiders
4 * Jetbikes (2 troops + 3 hq to be modified)
2 * Wraithknight
3 * Battleforce
1 * Fire Dragons
1 * Wave Serpent

Primary Detachement: Eldar

HQ

Farseer (Jetbike, Spear, Mantle) - 160
Farseer (Jetbike, Spear) (goes with one unit of bikes) - 120

Troops

7 * Dire Avengers - WS (SL, SC, HF) - 236
7 * Dire Avengers - WS (SL, SC, HF) - 236
4 * Jetbikes - 68
20 * Guardian Defenders (BL/BL or SL/SL) - 180
10 * Guardian Defenders - (BL or SL) - WS (SL, SC, HF) - 235

Elite

5 * Fire Dragons - WS (SL, SC, HF) - 255

Heavy

Barebone wraithknight - 240
Barebone wraithknight - 240

Fast Attack

7 * Warp Spiders - 133
7 * Warp Spiders - 133
3 * Vyper (SL, TL:SC) - 180

Allied Detachment: Iaynden

HQ

Autarch (Jetbike) - 85 (Path of strategy for Spiders and Jetbikes? Goes with Jetbikes)

Troops

4 * Jetbikes - 68

Total over 2500, which is a big no no, need help trimming this down to 1750, perhaps getting rid of one Wraithknight? Guardians? WS? The damn Vypers?

Any feedback is welcome, my main foes are DA, CSM, Tau, Orks; we play between friends at the moment but one day would be cool participating at a tourney or such.

Cheers!

This is the core, I'd consider:

Farseer (Jetbike, Spear, Mantle) - 160

7 * Dire Avengers - WS (SL, SC, HF) - 236
7 * Dire Avengers - WS (SL, SC, HF) - 236
4 * Jetbikes - 68
10 * Guardian Defenders - (BL or SL) - WS (SL, SC, HF) - 235

5 * Fire Dragons - WS (SL, SC, HF) - 255

Barebone wraithknight - 240
Barebone wraithknight - 240

In case the battleforces were to be dropped, are Dire avengers better than guardians? What about a 20 man units with 2 heavy weapons perhaps with a warlock for conceal?

Well, if you have a mobile force consisting of fast moving units, it will be better to leave static units at home. The enemy will automatically move towards such a unit and this is not what you want.
