My two cents... Not sure how well a second AUtarch is gonna help. If you are going to have that many walkers you need a guiding farseer.

Drop the death jesters. They don't add anything to a unit that should be moving all of the time.

Everyone seems to be dropping vypers. I guess it is a matter of taste.

I would drop the wraithlord for a pair of scatter laser walkers. I think you should also try to scrap ethe points to use the "blackmoor" pattern of walkers. Theory hammer suggests it is the strongest mix.

I've got no idea what blackmoor pattern walkers are, the wraithlord is there for variety, and I'll prolly take your advice about the deathjesters. As for the farseer.... I always hated those things.... I'm not a big fan of magic waving fairy boys.... Thanks for the advice

**IntoTheRain**

IF your going to play non mech eldar, a farseer(preferably eldrad) and an avatar are basically required.

The Blackmoor pattern is 2 Warwalkers with Scatter Lasers and one with Starcannons.

Vipers ARE playable in infantry based eldar, but their primary goal is to hunt artillery, not shoot up infantry.

**Sazzlefrats**

The troop master isn't really required if everyone in the unit has harlequin kisses... unless you are looking for ld10...
Additionally for holding and maintianing unit strenght you want units that are even numbered, units below half strength count give up 50% of their vp. if you ran units of 8 they'd have to kill 5 before they got vp, vs a unit of 7 that gives it up at 4 dead.
Wraithlord... never run double shurikan catapult... run double flamers... there will never be a situation where you can fire more than 2 weapon systems... and shuriken catapults statstically are never better than your main weapons.
I'm also not a huge fan of the shuriken cannon... if you are going to have a weapon make it something with 36" range

**Angron**

The harlequins are units of 10, 7 normal ones, then 1 of each character. Why can't wraithlords fire all of their weapons? And the cannon is there because it's the only thing I had points for

**Sazzlefrats**

wraithlords fire two weapons because its in the rules... Anyhow the points saved from just the 2 deathjesters is enough for upgrading two shurican cannons to scatter lasers (on the wraithlrod and guardian squad)
