I've been playing an Eldar Ulthwe army for about ten years now and at the ripe age of 24 have decided to enter my first competitive tournament and see how far i get. I have only ever really played to enjoy the hobby rather than win but due to having stuck with eldar for so long whilst other friends/siblings have changed armies according to what new codex looks juiciest, i have amassed quite an army of the pointy eared fellows.

Anyway the 1500 tourney list i would like to submit for your (hopefully) helpful criticism is as follows:


Spiritseer (70)

3x Warlocks (running with each of the guardian squads taking primaris conceal) (105)

10 guardians, wave serpent, SL's (210)

10 guardians, wave serpent, SL's (210)

10 guardians, wave serpent, SL's (210)

8 Swooping hawks, exarch with sunrifle (153)

8 Dark reapers, exarch with tempest launcher (270)

Fire prism (125)

Fire prism (125)

Total 1478

Warlocks are not a must have in transported Guardian units. The Guardians should be kept in the transports until the endgame.
The Spiritseer is a bit pointless. I'd take a Jetseer with the three default powers prescience, guide, and psychic shriek.
The Fire Prisms would benefit from holofields.
The remaining units, Dark Reapers and Swooping Hawks, are questionable in competitive play. I'd replace the DRs by 3 Warwalkers with scatterlasers, and the SHs by six Windrider Jetbikes with two shuricannons. Just my 2 cents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563687/6259690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563687/6259690.page GMT Three war walkers with two scatter lasers apiece? i will admit they were a staple in my recent battles until my opponents wised up and aimed everything at them in the first turn. I thought reapers as they can tend to sit back more and possibly benefit from the spiritseers conceal cumulative with whatever suitable piece of terrain i can find.
Swooping hawks i thought because i only recnelty re-read the rules for grenades (haywire in particular) and thought after rolling to hit (for skimmers and walkers) that average 6-7 glancing hits a turn on whichever vehicle looked the most dangerous was too good a proposition to give up.

I assume in your proposed changes you would run the jetseer with the windriders? or possibly mantle of the laughing god if i trim a few points/have a few to spare?
