I am trying to build a competitive list for a tournament in a few months.

Here goes:

HQ: Commander, Iridium suit, vectored retro thrusters, neurochip, puretide, 2 marker drones - 197

Elite1: Riptide, Ion acc., TL Fusion, Early warning, Velocity tracker - 210
Elite2: Riptide, Ion acc., SMS, Early warning, Velocity tracker - 210
Elite3: Riptide, Heavy Burst, TL Fusion, Early warning, Velocity tracker - 205

Troop1: 10 Kroot, hound - 65
Troop2: 10 Kroot, hound - 65

Heavy1: 3 Broadsides, Shas Vre, 3 Bonding knifes, HYML, SMS, 5 Shielded Missile Drones - 268
Heavy2: Sky Ray, Black Sun Filter - 116
Heavy3: Sky Ray, Black Sun Filter - 116

Eldar Allies:
HQ: Farseer, Jetbike - 115
Troop1: 3 Windrider Jetbikes - 51
Troop2: 3 Windrider Jetbikes - 51
Fast: 9 Warp Spiders - 171

Total - 1840

Leaves me 10 points to play arround with.

Any ideas for optimization of this list?
I do not know the mission package for the tournament yet, but i could imagine sacrifizing missile drones for annother troop choice of 10 Kroot perhaps with Hound.
Velocity tracker on riptide 2 could also be cut, making available another 20 points.

Dump the VTs off the Iontides it does not help them, that's 50 points to play with.

Why do you have a Jetbike on the Farseer? You've no mantle so he has a Riptide or Broadside. Perhaps drop that too and sit him with the Broadsides.

Your Commander is a mess I'd suggest making him a buffmander (MSSS, C&CN, VRT, PEN Chip 140points). That's another 57 points.

That gives a total of 122 points you've effectively wasted whilst other units are missing mandatory gear. Get EWO on the Broadsides. If you allow dataslates dump the Broadsides and the AA Riptide that gives you 600 points. Then dump 2 Warp Spiders and you have enough points for a FBSC with the AAtide and 2 units of 3 Missilesides with EWO. That way you're giving up 4 S6 shots to gain 2 S7 twinlinked and 12 S5 twinked and putting tank Hunter onto all those units! This massively improves your AA as the AAtide with tank hunters becomes actually very good and the Broadsides basically kill any flyer they shoot at. You should down 2-3 flyers with interceptor alone!

This also ups your AT and your volume fire and gives you another unit.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I will definately review it later after work. Really good ideas.

Dataslates will not be permitted though. Thus i have not chosen the cadre firebase. However i have the miniatures for it.
