http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/65.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net This is my first eldar list, i've done some research on several websites and this seems to be a solid list...
i already own;
1 avatar
1 fire prism
1 autarch with power sword (other arm not attached and neither is back)
10 dire avengers

Preferably i would use as many of the models as possible from what i already own, but i can convert the autarch into a farseer if that would save me having to buy another model, and never using the autarch!
I will be mostly be playing against a nurgle themed chaos army, and after playing Tau with no success for two years, i wanted a list that could pack a punch in CC but still be able to pick enemies off at range.
Here's my 1000pt list, please give as much constructive criticism as possible...

HQ
Avatar - 155 pts
Farser - 140 pts
doom
fortune
spirit stones
runes of warding + witnessing

ELITES
Striking Scorpions X6 - 123pts
Exarch w/ scorpion claw

Fire Dragons X5 - 80 pts

TROOPS
Dire Avengers X10 - 247 pts
Exarch w/ power weapon + shimmer shield
Wave Serpent w/ EML

Rangers X5 - 120 pts
Pathfinders

HEAVY SUPPORT
Fire Prism - 115 pts

The avatar is generally only very good with a solid number of guardians to support. I would suggest the autarch as the second hq, or a couple of guardian squads to support the avatar.

So if i use the autarch, what should i give him? is the rest of the list solid enough as well?

cheers

Welcome to Dakka though.

If you expand your eldar force maybe you'd consider a 40K narrative Campaign Weekend at Maelstrom Games at the end of the year.

Ditching the exarch and weapon from the dires save 27 more points. I would then break them into 2 five man squads for more flexibility and another scoring unit. Move the wave seep to the fire dragons to increase their strike range.

That frees 190 points for the clowns.

7 Harley's with kisses and a shadow seer is 184. That leaves 6 points to tinker with.

2 tanks decent anti tank and solid anti infantry with a hard death star unit and 3 scoring units seem good at 1k
