Going to have a quick game now and see how this list does but I think I might have worked out how to use the DE and Eldar in a decent way without including Wraithknights etc.

The list still revolves around a small Jet Council however the DE Reserves are the thing that I think will make or break the list.

The list below leaves me with everything except the Rangers likely to be Twin-Linked shooting (Splinter Racks & Probably 2x Guide & 1x Prescience) and hopefully if I get Doom as well it will allow me rerolls to wound against any Deathstars. Even better considering everything in the list wounds on a 4+ minimum!!!

In total the list has;

100x Twin Linked Poison Shots
6x Twin Linked Bright Lances
3x Dark Lances
10x Sniper Rounds
7x Singing Spear S9 attacks with Flesh and Armorbane
1x Shard Shot
2x Splinter Pods

That is one hell of a lot of shooting considering the vast majority is twin linked and I will hopefully get Doom.

Only issue I see if reserves not coming in turn 2 or indeed at the same time. Could be fixed by using an Autarch but that would put me in a risky situation with regards to getting Fortune and Doom plus I wouldn't get as many Guide / Presciences!

What do you think? Thoughts or suggestions?

I would think jetbike squads are absolute upgrades to the scouts in this list.

With retro fire jets you shouldn't need flicker fields (as you will have jink)

I know Removing a FS is blasphemy but running DE base with the Duke would free up a TON of points that would power up some Ravagers or whatever else you love (warp spiders for me) or a beastpack for further target overload.

I would also think about SLs on the walkers though it seems like a closer call than usual in your list

Bikes would be a good upgrade but I don't have anymore models to use.

Need the baron in the council or they will all die

Oh I agree. Baron is hugely important.

I am going to experiment with DE with Eldar allies.

Baron
Duke
Farseer
6 warlocks
Warrior x10 w raider and splinter racks
Warrior x10 w raider and sr
2 jetbike squads
Trueborn x9 with 2sc and 7 scarbine w racks in raider
3ravagers
8 warp spiders
Wraith knight

Will give this a try tonight although I'm going to drop 1 farseer for an Autarch for 2+ reserves.

Losing the Farseer will greatly diminish your chances of getting Fortune.

Well that didn't work. Nids tabled Eldar turn 3 because reserve rolls sucked and the rangers all died turn 1.

Very amusing though...

FYI splinter racks don't work with shardcarbines, so those are some wasted points that could be used elsewhere
