Im working on an Eldar list, pure codex, no allies or supplements used. The local area regularly plays at 1850, so im trying to bring a list up to that level, but i seem to be stuck at the moment as to where to go. I'll post what im at thus far, and any help would be greatly appreceated.

Farseer with runes of witnessing
20 Guardians 2x Shurriken Cannons
5 Dire avengers in wave serpent (TL-Scatter laser, Holo-field)
5 Dire avengers in wave serpent (TL-Scatter laser, Holo-field)
5 Dire avengers in wave serpent (TL-Scatter laser, Holo-field)
5 Wraith guard with D-Scythes
2 Crimson Hunters
2 Warwalkers both with 2x Starcannon

This leaves another 250 points to fill out. I was thinking adding in another walker, and some vauls support batteries.

No Jetbikes?
No Wraithlord?
No Wraithknight?

maybe a serpent for the wraithguard so they arent rocking the show leather express? Wraithguard on foot have always left me unimpressed as they take to long to get somewhere. I like mine in a serpent, zoom to an objective and then hold onto it

Ya I agree with doktor_g about the jetbikes.
Why not put your farseer on a jetbike and then run a unit of jetbikes with him?

Also I don't know about the crimson hunters (if you have already bought them then use them but I am not sure about how great they are)

I would also add in a wraithlord it would help bring some stronger firepower to the table.

Agree with getting the Wraithguard a ride especially if their toting Flamers, they will get annihilated before they become a threat.

Crimson hunters are great if you can make them stick, 4 str 8 ap2 shots on a flyer is quite nice to have for AT and anti - flyer not even mentioning vector dancer.

Wraith knights are great, not really much to add their

Jetbikes are aswell, common knowledge, though I do like that you avoided the complete spam/ easy mode build most are suggesting.

Eldar do quite great by playing more than just jetbikes/ serpents/ wk, it's just easy for non Eldar players to pilot so everyone takes them

For now, im avoiding the bikes, as good as they supposedly are, im just not interested in running them.

Wraithlords? Id rather take two walkers in its place, larger fire output, even if its slightly more fragile platform.

Wraithknights? Sure, id like one, i may pick one up just on the merits of the model itself. A single one may find its way into the list.

I was planning with the wraith guard to keep them in backfield around the guardians, anything coming close would be getting roasted.

I definately agree on the serpent for the wraithguard, and would also like to suggest a spirit seer to make them troops.

That hard as nails T6 unit now also is scoring. Bonus!

The other walker is definately a good option, but not sure about the vauls wrath. I think either a unit of dark reapers or a wraithknight/fire prism might serve you better.

Also consider warp spiders. These things rock now.

wraithguard with a flamer need to sit on an objective and beg people to charge them,
