I guess if I have to give a basic strategy for this army right now it would be to mob the enemy while laying down some suppressive fire and swarming him with howling banshees and storm guardians. The Farseer would kind of hang in the back and guide the dark reapers and after a round or two would prolly run with the guardians and guide the ones that need it for that round, he is also a little versitile because he has the singing spear so he can throw it at a tank that gets too close to the flank of my army. The storm guardians also pack a punch against tanks with their fusion guns.
The people I play with run a fair verity of armies but the ones that are run the most would have to be space marines because I play with a group of around 12 on an average day and at least 8 of them have space marine armies as well as others so I generally find myself with 2 space marine games every sunday and about 1 or 2 games with some thing else like more chaos or tau.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578729.page GMT Re:1500 eldar point High model count CC potentail. He cant join the banshees (thier apsect warriors & not of his aspect) and if he joins the guardains, you may be at risk from the guardains taking lots of casulties & falling back taking the awesome Mr.Ra with them!

Otherwise, nice horde list. Will enhance get your more kills from slighly improved guardains (still only S3 though) or will a destructor template prior to a charge net you more kills? Think about it.. I ohnestly could say & its too late for crazy math-hammerings. Not that I can count neways.

46 guardains as a strong troop core and 14 banshes as a deadly counter charge.. looks goood. All foot. Id say the banshees need farseer fortune & doom suport. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578761.page GMT 1500 eldar point High model count http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578806.page GMT Re:1500 eldar point High model count http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578843.page GMT 1500 eldar point High model count BS 3. If you need anti tank you take firedragons or wraithlords.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578888.page GMT Re:1500 eldar point High model count

Wraith Lord with EML and Bright Lance

The basic tactic of this army is to sit the storm guardians in cover on my objective and hold it while the dark reapers lay down support fire and the rest of my army truges forward and jumps into combat. The wraithlord will take out a tank or two and take down some HVY armor troops and farseer with run up with the guardians guiding them until he can doom a squad that is in combat for some nasty attacks. I feel that the Wraithlord is kind of on a short chain with this list having to either hang back with the storm guardians or run forward with the farseer. Well either way what do people think now and I would also like to thank people for their feedback so far its helped alot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578932.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/578932.page GMT 1500 eldar point High model count http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579000.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579000.page GMT 1500 eldar point High model count http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579081.page GMT 1500 eldar point High model count I'd drop two units and add either 3 Warwalkers with scatterlasers or a larger troupe of Harlies. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579258.page GMT Re:1500 eldar point High model count Id say drop one dire avengers for a second wraithlord. Really makes it difficult to choose which MC to target.

I think you'll get more kills, if you spend 5 pts more, on getting guardain EML's, wounding on 4's but your also denying 4+ armor saves & its pinning, longer ranged. With the scat lasers, each squad will get 2 hits. 3-4 should wound which equals two failed saves & two wounds. Sup to you.. my math may be wrong!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579340.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579340.page GMT Re:1500 eldar point High model count

The longer range and better ap will probably help you out as will the fact that plasma templates won't just miss like failed BS shooting does. If you can scrape up the points, it's probably be a good idea.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/230997/579762.page GMT Re:1500 eldar point High model count

Also.. two shooting every turn for a 5turn game.. Im sure even necrons will fail a pinning test one in a game! Pinning via attrition, always good. On that logic, could always be the first turn they get pinned on! Pinning woo .. ahem.
