Ok how is this for a list? Any good ideas on how to improve this?
We are gonna play eternal war missions so I think 7 scoring units would function just fine.

Wanted to try if a Revenant would be fun to play. Idea is: Camp in cover, keep one bike squad in reserve. And fire at will. I severly lack AA so Necron Flyer list will destroy me.

I wouldn't bother with the cannons on the Jetbikes due to their fragility. Keep them jinking on objectives, not shooting. I'd suggest the points go to a SSA on your Farseer to reduce charge costs (since you won't have many) and GWM's on your Serpents to allow them to park in cover for a 3+.

Good advice. Mainly I just want to cast guide on mye revenant. GWM is definitive yes. Will update later.

Side note - your points are a bit off. Guardian jetbikes are only 51 pts for a squad of 3. Wave serpents with that loadout are 155 pts. Overall, the list is actually only 1743 pts. Other than that it looks fine, I don't think there's much you'll have to worry about. Test it out and let us know how things go!

Edited. Added Star Cannon on Guardians for the remaining points.

To be honest it is a bit of a mess. The Revenant will win you games on its own but you've not optimised it. Whikst both Jetbikes and Serpents can dovetail well with it a mix is not a good idea. You're just giving your opponents AI fire something to do. Also in 7th starting JBs in reserve is a bad idea.

So personally I'd do the following decide bikes or Serpents. Go all one or the other don't mix. I'd drop the Spear from the Farseer you never want him within 12" of the enemy. Then you need to get a Skyshield!

For instance on the other Eldar thread with Trip Wraithknights you wanted to challenge if he goes first he does on average 8.4 HPs to the Revenant so has a decent chance of just killing it turn 1 certainly it should be damaged enough to easily finish off turn 2. Put him on a skyshield for that 4++ and you half that then turn 2 you shuffle a millimetre and then have two 4+ saves against any damage! Then he's in real trouble.

That Skyshield sounds like a very broken thing :0

Other than that, just mix your list and mine, and it's going to kick ass.

1 Farseer 100
4 Min DA Squad 260
4 Wave Serpent Shu Scatter + Holo 580
1 Revenant Titan 900

That's 1840. Shimata... that's 100 too much. well whatever you got the picture

I don't know the Revenant, but if you add a Skyshield, and bells and whistles, are you not going to end up very vulnerable to a lot of threats (not just air) ?

Yeah I tend to agree on that. Looks awesome. The Skyshield thing was almost sickengly broken. I love it.

Hmm maybe I could make 3 Da in WS and a Wraith Knight for extra nasty ness.
