BTW this is my FIRST eldar army

the idea is to widdle down everything, shoot and scoot/scoot then shoot, by staying just out of range and jumping back, (im sure most of you know how a bike army works) prisms are gonna boost every turn and stay out of range of anti-cover weapons till spiders, planes, dragons, or them selves destroy them. Farseers fly around one with the prisms and one with the bikes, hoping to be in range of the planes as they fly around over head. bikes will mostly hide till the end, thinking about splitting 1 or 2 squads into 3 mans just to snag obj at the end. spiders will DS or sneak up on tanks/heavy units and take them out. i was using shining spears with a autarch instead of the 2nd farseer and plane but this seems better to take on marines. (not sure tho) this is like the 7th incarnation of this army and i cant decide what to do. Take the Shining spears? take a wraith knight with sun cannon? or even another Crimson hunter, (have all of it) i cannot decide. any advice or tips? please hit me up]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095027.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095027.page GMT Sam Hain? pretty much
The crystal targeting matrix is nice, but fairly expensive. I would say there are better uses for the points like a warlock for each jetbike squad that has a seer. The spirit stone is also not that critical. There are only 3 powers that cost 2 charge you ever want to use; fortune, invisibility and hallucination. Some games it will go unused, and the games you have it I doubt it is that needed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095149.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095149.page GMT Sam Hain? pretty much
Spirit Stone (as mentioned above in general it is not worth it)

Fire Dragon Exarch and fast shot on him.

All the Crystal Targeting Matrixes.

I would spend those points on an Exarch upgrade for the 2nd Hunter (you're light on AA with such a small squad of Spiders you need the Hunters to kill what they shoot).

Then depend the rest on either Warlocks on Jet bikes (if you get protect/jinx it is awesome) or more Warp Spiders.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095183.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095183.page GMT Re:Sam Hain? pretty much i figured i could boost every turn getting a 3+ coversave, tho i see if something is ignoring cover i just wasted 75 points... i agree with the draw back of everything else. added more spiders but now i got 75ish points left, that's only one lock on a bike... i see no where else to spend thoes 75 than for the matrix' at this point. if i dropped the spiders got a third plane i could drop the matrix' and take 2 locks with spears... what about that?

thnx for the input.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095699.page GMT Sam Hain? pretty much
More Spiders and more Jetlocks is my advice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6095736.page GMT Re:Sam Hain? pretty much

If you could use it EVERY turn, it would be awesome. However, it is very expensive for a one shot ability. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6096316.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6096316.page GMT Re:Sam Hain? pretty much

I would consider dropping 2 ShuriCs to upgrade the 2nd Hunter to an Exarch. There really is no reason not to.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6097353.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/554843/6097353.page GMT Re:Sam Hain? pretty much AA and anti-tank/marine

so take out spiders and small squad add

add singing spear to farseers 10pts

Crimson hunter 160pts

warlock 55pts
jetbike
singing spear

warlock 55pts
jetbike
singing spear

this way i have 2 squads of bikes with str 9 shots to go with the cannons attempted rends giving me some more anti tank, the conceal, and another plane able to down gak like vendettas.
