I am pretty sure the farseer isn't very well built but it was the best I could come up with so late. I feel I need doom to assist rending sniper rifles and guide just seems like a good idea... as does fortune.

Any and all tips welcome. If anyone has any Iyanden lists they'd recommend for the point limit let me know!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214555/330726.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214555/330726.page GMT Re:750 pt Eldar redo
So lets start with the troops. You got 5 pathfinders and 10 rangers. While this gives you a solid base that's going to be really tough, it really cripples your mobility. These units are great in cover and can do a fair amount of damage when holding still but movement keeps them from shooting. In addition, they suffer in close range battles. You may want to consider swapping out one squad for some other troop type so that you can have an easier time capturing objectives. In addition, I don't find that rangers are worth buying when for 5 points more, you can get pathfinders. The extra +1 cover save and getting "super shots" on 5+ to hit rather than on 6+ is totally worth the cost.

Now lets look at the farseer. First off, he has 3 powers and can only ever use 2 per turn. So unless you have some hugely important over arcing need to have all 3, you'll be better off ditching one of them. Which one depends on how you really plan on using the farseer. If he is going to be sitting in the back field away from the enemy, then doom isn't going to be in range for most of the game and you can ditch that one. You can also get rid of the singing spear for the same reason. If he is going to be running out in front of your lines (generally a bad idea since you don't have a forward squad for him to join) then you can ditch guide since it isn't going to be all that useful on the BS4 dreadnaughts (particularly since a good chunk of their weapons fire templates). I wouldn't suggest ditching fortune since a farseer in this role is going to need it to stay alive without a squad to protect him. So in the end, figure out what you really want him to do and then configure him to do it.

Wraithguard have always been a big draw for me but with the points limit I would at the very least need to drop the wraithlords.

I worry about wraith sight on the wraithlords and really wish they could form a unit with the farseer. I guess my main strategy was to stand my wraithlords in with the rangers and the farseer nearby the prevent wraith sight that or the farseer slogging up the table behind the wraithlords. The pathfinders would of course try to grab a good firing line near an objective to last turn grab it. I guess I am just hoping my last turn movement will be enough when realistically it may not be.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214555/331169.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214555/331169.page GMT Re:750 pt Eldar redo AP 1 on to hit rolls so its a toss up. Having 3 groups gives me lots of pinning to tests to throw at the enemy.

You're going to run into trouble trying to capture objectives that are not near your deployment zone, but you shouldn't have too much trouble marching up your dreadnoughts to work on wiping out the enemy troops and keep them from scoring, so you can probably win that way.
Thank you that reassures me some. The issue that remains with marching my dreads is the farseer will need to go with them if I want to avoid wraithsight which is a scary prospect. This is why in some ways my older lists that had wraithgaurd instead were better. This list seems more reliable in other ways though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214555/332047.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214555/332047.page GMT Re:750 pt Eldar redo

So mindwar and conceal for defence or an extra wraithguard and doom for offense. Hard call]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214555/332124.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/214555/332124.page GMT
