I realize that the wraithlords with wraithswords aren't exactly standard, but my main worry is in having a means to deal with the nob bikers, and if those wraithlords get into HTH combat, the wraithswords will be a godsend.

The other option I'm considering is to have a jetseer instead of eldrad.

I also really wanted to get Maugan Ra in here, but with the insane amount of points that a jetlock council costs, I couldn't fit him and a squad to accompany him (i.e. Harlequins, probably) into the list. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499843.page GMT 1850 Eldar BL will not cut it.

I figure the 10 warlocks on jetbikes with witchblades tossing 30 S9 attacks against vehicles is good enough.

Not to mention that I'd probably ignore the bricks in favor of just killing necrons and going for combat res.

The Maugan Ra force I was considering was this:

Eldrad
7 Warlocks (1 enhance, 1 embolden, 2 destructors)
Maugan Ra
10 Harlequins (shadowseer, 2 fusion pistols, kisses for everyone)
The rest the same as above (dire avengers, pathfinders, reapers, wraithlords).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499860.page GMT Re:1850 Eldar http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499893.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499893.page GMT 1850 Eldar http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499958.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499958.page GMT 1850 Eldar HQ's not 3 as listed

There are only 2 HQ's since the Warlocks count as retinue.
However, fielding Warlocks on jetbikes and no Farseer on jetbike makes no sense, since the Warlocks need to be fortuned all the time. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499969.page GMT 1850 Eldar http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499971.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499971.page GMT 1850 Eldar
10 Warlocks /w 1 embolden, 2 enhance, 4 destructors on jetbikes

Two times embolden can be a life saver for the unit and it can also be used to reroll a failed psychic test (see the Eldar FAQ's). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499972.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499972.page GMT 1850 Eldar lol]

the counsil is too big IMHO, 8 is more than enough]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499981.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/499981.page GMT 1850 Eldar ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500002.page GMT 1850 Eldar
Jetseer
10 warlocks on bikes (2x embolden, 2x enhance)
Maugan Ra
4x (10 guardians with EML, spiritseer with embolden)
2x wraithlord with brightlance, wraithsword
wraithlord with brightlance, EML

Maugan Ra just joins a guardian squad, although he may separate when it's time for close combat, since the guardians would prefer not to get involved. Importantly, the warlocks/spiritseers will keep the wraithlords moving. In your list, once you swap Eldrad for a jetseer, you'll be taking wraithsight tests every turn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500098.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500098.page GMT Re:1850 Eldar http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500138.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500138.page GMT Re:1850 Eldar

I'd drop Maugan Ra for an Autarch on jetbike with laserlance, mandiblaster, joining the Jetbike HQ squad. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500333.page GMT 1850 Eldar CC and pile'in's start.

Also, transports in general are alot tougher to take down, and eldar infantry are very squishy. They really benefit from being able to zip around in the serpents. Obviously, Falcons and Prisms synergize better with the serpents then with the wraithlords. Plus, the wraithlord's larger bases mean that the warlocks will not likely be able to soak any wounds for them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500479.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/500479.page GMT Re:1850 Eldar

Maugan Ra
10 Harlequins (shadowseer, 2 fusion pistols, kisses for everyone)
The rest the same as above (dire avengers, pathfinders, reapers, wraithlords).

With a list like this I'd try to keep the enemy at arm's length.
For this, the list needs some very shooty units like guided Warwalkers.
I'd drop the Warlocks, the Harlies should suffice as counterstrike unit. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/502463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226024/502463.page GMT
