The list as follows:


Farseer: EJB, Singing Spear, Spirit Stones - 135


9 Windrider Jetbikes: 3 Shuriken cannons - 183
+ Warlock with Singing Spear - 55

5 Dire Avengers - 65
+ Wave Serpent: Scatterlasers, Holofields - 135

5 Dire Avengers - 65
+ Wave Serpent: Scatterlasers, Holofields - 135


8 Warp Spiders - 152

6 Swooping Hawks: Exarch with Sunrifle - 121


3 War walkers: 2x Scatterlasers - 210

Wraithknight - 240


Total: 1496


The idea is simple. The bikestar is here to provide pressure forward into the enemy, pelting them with shuriken fire and buffing the army as a whole. The Wraithknight moves forward with it and Warp Spiders to establish mid field dominance. Serpents shoot at distant targets and move behind the rest of the army.

This won't be a tournament list, ever, because we don't play tournaments at 1500 points here(1750+) and at larger points I will definitely more toward the footdar list, but for now, my problem with that approach is my lack of long range fire support. Few games I played with my Avengers out in the open ended badly for them(still pulled out a few wins and a draw, have yet to lose with the new Eldar) because my opponent had nothing to hide from in my back field. So I need something like the Serpents to make them think twice about focusing down my jetbikes and letting Serpents, Wraithknight and War walkers, not to mention Warp Spiders, roam freely around the map.

Swooping Hawks are here to be a disruption unit, blinding key targets and assaulting vehicle parking lots with their haywires. In games I've played them, they've reliably been able to kill 3x their points in vehicles and if there aren't any vehicles, there's infantry, their prefered target, so either way, they've something to do.

C&C more than welcome!

The only change I would make is to drop the spirit stone of thatoneguy from your seer to give your serpent chin cannons. Makes em extra dangerous at close range, and the spirit stone is somewhat meh(only a few powers can even use it, only 3-4 powers you would even want to use that cost 2 charges)

Alternatively, you could grab another spider, or exarch a la carte,]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5971422.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5971422.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5971569.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5971569.page GMT
I did ponder and ponder what to spend those 20 points on. Chincans or Spirit stones + Spear. Why I chose the SS is mostly because of Fortune that I will want every game. That said, is it worth 15 points for 1/6 chance to get the power I want? That's where I'm on the fence. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5972438.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5972438.page GMT

Just a tip:

Double scatter lasers are better than double starcannons against 5+ or worse.
Double starcannons are better than double scatter lasers against 3+ or better.
They are exactly the same against 4+.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5975433.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5975433.page GMT
Warp spiders are just straight up MEAN!! their movement is over the top awesome and super strong fire power makes them deadly to anything on the board besides armour 14.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5975511.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5975511.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5975884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547546/5975884.page GMT
IcyFireKNight - my targets will wary. Usually it'll be War walkers + Spiders. But if I really need something heavy killed, I'll guide my WK and if I need first turn alpha strike in hammer&anvil deployment, I'll guide the Serpent Shields, given their extreme range, as opposed to the Scatterlasers.

I can drop a Spider, but don't have anything really smart to spend the surplus points on. I'll need to play test it more and see what upgrades are more useful. For instance, how many times I'll need that Spirit stone and how many times I'll shoot with shuricans on the Serpents.
