Here is my List and will update as I recieve feedback.


1000 - 1500 pt Eldar
No $$ Restrictions what ever is the final result will be bought
Painting Scheme: Phoenix

---------------

Eldar Codex
White Primer (zomg not black cuz of orks?)

HQ
Baharroth 200
Farseer: Runes of Witness/Spirit Stones/Guide/Mind War 125

Fast
Swooping Hawks x5 105

Heavy
WraithLord: 2x Flamer/WraithSword 100

Elite
Wraithguard x6: Warlock/Embolden 240

Troop
Guardians x10: Weapons Platform is SL 105
Guardians x10: WP is SL / Warlock:Spirit Seer/Embolden/Singing Spear 134

Total 999

Mind you no one plays Eldar in my group nor have I read / bought codex yet. BTW should the I buy the codex or is a new Eldar one coming out within my lifetime?

Here is my idea one troop w/warlock seer walks with the Wraithguard taking point. Bahroth and his swooping group DS in or seperate to out flank weaker positions or pick off things. The wraith guard unit is the shooter cover of groups and the farseer moves or joins units that need him.

The only thing I require in this list is Wraithlord .I have thought about Prism Tanks but would need to field two to take advantage of the gun right? Or idea...

I need help / advice please

Thank you for your time thoughts. I look foward to purchasing / playing Eldar very much.

-Cheers

I was looking at their onlines store they have alot of Eldar Vehicles but other models I was only able to find Avatar and Eldar Revanant Titan. I double checked the tabs but I couldnt find any other type of unit. I am defiantly gonna pick up one of their Titans.

Right?

Also, any adjustments to this list I should try / do / etc.. ?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964226.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964226.page GMT 1000pt Eldar Army / Shopping List / ideas
1) If you want a list that 'matches' the theme of a craftworld (the one with lots of wraithguard), swooping hawks (or any aspect warriors) are probably not ideal to fit in there. You might like more wraithguard, or some sort of tank in the heavy slot instead.

2) If you are looking to just have something that looks nice on the table, you have some good modelling choices there. Maybe look at some other HQ or elites choices (like the avatar from forgeworld).

3) If you want it to be more competitive, Eldar have superior choices in every slot to your choices, unfortunately. In general you are looking at a bunch of units all holed up in wave serpents for just about every competitive Eldar build (Mech Eldar or Seer Council).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964258.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964258.page GMT 1000pt Eldar Army / Shopping List / ideas

1) The only theme I plan on carrying over is the painting theme of phoenix. I can live without Barrahahahrorah or what ever his name is. Between the two I want that wraithlord. Like the wraith guard / lord themed group. I know little Eldar Fluff but so far staring at the models The death harlequins and that HQ reaper look pretty nice with the wraith units.

2) You are correct gonna adjust the list.

3) So I have been reading. Good to know thank you.

Codex worth buying or they slated to get an update within a year?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964267.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964267.page GMT 1000pt Eldar Army / Shopping List / ideas
Dark eldar are on the horizon for a book, which means probably not until next year.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964304.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964304.page GMT 1000pt Eldar Army / Shopping List / ideas

Thank you. Depressing to hear, but needed the answer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964324.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/964324.page GMT Re:1000pt Eldar Army / Shopping List / ideas
Again, not looking for a solid tourney list. Just something fun that shows off the eldar's powa. Only require that the least at least have a WraithLord in it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/966033.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255929/966033.page GMT
