Trying to build a list where every single unit is a high priority unit and make my opponent is left tough decisions about priority. I also like the mobility Eldar bikes bring to the table to let tau do their shooting thing. Any feedback would be awesome.

I am a more seasoned Tau player and still learning Eldar, but feed back on both would be awesome.

This looks solid enough to me. I'm always a bit iffy about fielding Kroot, but hey, whatever works for you.

I am not thrilled fielding them, they serve their purpose.

Personally would drop the singing spear and swap brightlances on serpent for MOAR scatter lasers.

At a hope that this can purchase you firewarriors instead of kroot, i don't know the pricing for Tau, but I know Eldar pretty well.

If and when you respond we could discuss, I'll learn something in the process.

I was contemplating scatters on the serpant.

So fire warriors are 54pts for 6. Kept are nice because they can outflank. Kept are 60pts for 10.

Oof, in a predominantly 'stay in the back and shoot' army, do you really want to throw a kill point on the middle of the board? :L

Kroot are quite useful for scoring, line breaker etc.

If you don't take a wraithknight via some heavy reshuffling ur mad
