I've been running Eldar w/ Taullies for a few games now, and I really love it.

Here's what I got:

Jetseer (Fortune, Guide, Doom, Runes, Runes, Singing Spear)
Jet-tarch (Laser Lance/Mandiblasters)

2 Squads of 6 Pathfinders
1 Jetbike Guardian Squadron (6 Jetjoes w/3 Shuricannons and a Warlock with SS for a total of 10 bikes)

Falcon w/Scatter Laser, shuricannon carrying 5-6 Fire Dragons, no Exarch.

Shining Spears w/Exarch, Expert Rider and Withdraw (both HQs attached here)

6-12 Fire Warriors w/Shas'i (Markerlight and BS Filter, depending on points)

Commander, Missile Pod, Plasma, 2 Shield Drones

2-3 Broadsides, BS filter and Smart Missiles, Team leader w/ 2 Shield Drones.


I usually hold the Shining Spears and the HQs back out of sight until they have a target. I use Fortune and Guide to beef up the Pathfinders til then, then I swap fortune over to the bikers.

The Broadsides offer the Eldar the S10 shots they desperately need. The Commander sits with the FWs and soaks wounds for them, taking his 2+/4++ and Look Out, Sir!s as needed.


My questions for the Dakkans are:

Should I consider rolling on the Divination table? I LOVE me some Fortune, and I'd hate to give it up. Guide is completely made bogus by Prescience, but Doom and Fortune make it a hard choice for me.

I know Shining Spears are overpriced, but I've put them to good use thusfar (except the game with the Heldrake, that dude is a nightmare to my army), but is there anything else you see that should be replaced?

Thanks, folks!

Even though they're not skimmers like the rest of the army, War Walkers are scouts like the Pathfinders.
Fit them with Scatter Lasers, and that Helldrake should go away.
