So a few weeks ago I posted on here asking for advice for starting an Eldar army (as my friend at the time had given me some models). A few days later he changed his mind and asked for them back (so I gave them back and posted another thread on here asking about 30k). Recently he again changed his mind (as he no longer has time to play) and he yet again gave me the Eldar models. For those of you who didn't read the first thread it was basically

Codex
Approx 25 Guardians (no weapons platforms sadly)
3 Warlocks
1 Autarch (fusion gun and chainsword)
1 Eldrad

The Plan I had in mind originally had been to run an Iybraesil themed force (either CAD or Guardian Warhost plus goodies), and that is still the case. However, I've also recently become interested in starting a small DE army that I would like to take along with these fellows occasionally (and I would run them on their own too). So, does anyone have advice for how to combine the two in a casual setting.I'll eventually get around to posting a separate thread for the DE when I actually acquire the models for it. The DE army would be a Wych Cult themed force (before anyone says it yes I know they're terrible). All help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have some DE of my own and I find that if you want to take advantage of close combat units either take transports, screening units or a webway portal. Any HQ's will be instant targets because of their high close quarters damage output. Use this to your advantage like bait to draw enemy fire away from wych units. forcing even 1 or 2 squads to shoot at your HQ instead of the infantry could mean the difference come assault phase.
