Hi,
I'm quite new to Eldar and want to initially paint up an 1850pt army that's pretty much aimed at all comers. I've come up with 2 lists based on models I like and wondered what y'all thought. Thanks!

Handy that the models you like are some of the best in the codex

Both will be able to hold their own well.

Wanted something different to my marines, so jet bikes were a must.

Another list K was just tinkering with is:

+ Support +

Hammer of Vaul [FW]
····Cobra [FW] [D-Impaler, Shuriken Cannon]

Thematically I like the Cobra/ hornet/ Warp Hunter combo, not very friendly but certainly not invincible plus it'll look great on the table... with the other lists walk/ running the Wraithguard isn't my style unless you have Eldrad for scout + the auto run
