I know Warp Spiders aren't the most competitive choice but I want to see if a pheonix lord can change that. I know how to use warp spiders and I have 20 of them so I want to put them to use.

The Avengers stay in their serpent until the moment is right, fire dragons take out tanks, fire prisms take out any infantry or AT if I need it, and warp spiders jump-shoot-jump or jump-shoot-assault anything they can (I plan on being extra careful with them). The Pheonix lord should really help in combat and adds a nice punch with shooting also. As always, my list has eldrad because he has everything I could want from a farseer. An extra power than normal, deployment shenanigans, and runes of warding. He helps keep eldar competitive IMO. Anywho - the only thing i'm 100% on keeping is the warp spiders. Because the idea is to try the unit out.

Comment and Criticize away! Thanks a lot!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324469.page GMT Eldar 1850pt Fun/competitive (C&C Needed)
No?

Forget I asked.

Split the Warp Spiders into two squads, one big squad is just asking for a battle cannon shell to kill them all on turn one. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324499.page GMT Eldar 1850pt Fun/competitive (C&C Needed) AT units are a lot more points or not as effective.

2 Squads will cost more points and be harder to move around and assault with. Warp spiders are a fairly fragile unit but terrain permitting I would be able to hide them. Like I said, I'm planning on playing extremely carefully with the spiders.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm aware of what battle cannons can do. I hate them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324563.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324563.page GMT Eldar 1850pt Fun/competitive (C&C Needed) Poisoned 3+ goes nicely with the spider theme.
Not overpowered or under-costed against other Phoenix Lords.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324619.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324619.page GMT Eldar 1850pt Fun/competitive (C&C Needed) 3d6 for Master of the Warp is for for those that don't know how the Spiders jump works
Also, the Diresword on your exarch probably isn't the bet choice for him. I love the idea of it, but in practice it under-performs like there's no tomorrow!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324644.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/451749/4324644.page GMT
