Hi all, just got back into 40k after a 5 year break. After purchasing the new eldar codex and browsing various internet forums I've compiled the following footdar list from the few remaining models that I didn't sell and a few extras I picked up cheap online (Trade Me you freakin rock) Any advice or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

For the last 139 points I was considering using either a WL or 2 Warwalkers.

Move to 40k army lists?

Otherwise, I would focus the list a bit more. This is going too many different directions at once. Are you going fast attack or mech?

Half of the troops are on foot and the other half are going fast. With only 2 vehicles I don't think it would take very long for someone with a few S9 shots (or massed S6) to take them down.

I'd decide on a theme and make it interesting. All fast attack with jetbikes and transports? Footslogging with wraith/warwalker support?

welcome to dakka! you should move your thread to the wh40k army lists section for better results.

Oops how embarrassing, thanks for the welcome and speedy replies. Hmm was going for a hybrid of footdar with a bit more emphasis on the foot troops.
However I do see your point on the vehicles.
But should I take this as do not take vehicles at all? Or merely a point of consideration?

You could add some War-Walkers and a WraithLord, not very moble but can take batter advatage of cover than the Grav-Tanks, and everyone in your list can keep up with their support.


EDIT: whoops, forgot to welcome to this fine comunity. Welcome!

EDIT: darn my spelling.

Hey
Welcome to Dakka!
This really belongs in the army list section, but I'll let you off
I wouldn't put the individual point cost of the upgrades in your post, it might be over stepping a line as far as directly copying out rules goes.
as far as the list goes, I'd loose the falcon for a fire prism, and use the extra points to get another fire prism. I think another Wave serpent might be benificial if you can find the points, the dragons need a wagon.

Welcome to dak dak! Guitardian and GC have it. GW hates seeing individual points costs listed just so you know for future list building and posting.

Welcome to Dakka!!

What ho!
