I'm debating the utility and point sink that is the seer council. They hit and wound well (especially with doom), but maybe I'd be better off with 10 harlequins? they wont wound as much but they have rending attacks and I can slap two fusion guns in there as well.

I was also running 1 council, 2 councils, 1 giant council, 2 small councils, etc etc, and every possible way in between. After lots of testing, my feeling is that, unfortunatley, as much as I love it, I don't think they're worth the points they chew up in your list.

As to the general comments, my only problem is, its a relatively slow footslogger eldar list. You have no real mobile objective grabbers, and eldar in general isn't very survivable (6 dragons on foot will get shot to bits before they get to see a tank to melt) and 20 dire avengers will get shot/burnt to minimize your scorers.


In my experience, a hybrid approach is best. Keep your solid foot, maybe drop the council and toss the farseer into the wraithguard, they greatly benefit from a fortune. Give the DA's a couple serpents, and one for the fire dragons, and I'd like the list much better.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506374.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506398.page GMT
Its why i, and yes, I hate it too, run eldrad. He fortunes himself and the wraithguard, and then can fortune the avatar in front (when I run a similar build to this).

I wouldnt run 1 serpent either, I'd go 3 or 0, as you're right, 1 tank in this list would get picked on a bit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506452.page GMT
I'd definately try and get some transports for your dire avengers/fire dragons.
Having transports for your troops that can take them really gives you a lot of tactical options and draws anti-tank fire away from wraithguard/avatar/wraithlords!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506704.page GMT

*Looks up at eldrad* I think I'm going to be sick.

I tried taking enough transports to make it viable but that caused me to completely rework the list and as I've already started compiling the army buying 4 serpents wasnt a smart move financially.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506887.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/226446/506887.page GMT
