TOTAL ARMY: 2000 POINTS

Tactics:

-Farseer camps behind the Wave Serpents and uses his powers while the Serpents move forward providing fire support and keeping my troops alive. The big scary Wraithknight will run up the board being a shooting magnet. My Swooping hawks will have the job of landing on a flank or where my opponent is most vulnerable and doing as much damage as possible before retreating up into the sky to do it again. The x2 Fire Prisms job is to snipe armor and deal with large hordes if I come across them.

If so this list isnt to intimidating. if not its somewhat manageable, what did you go with the suncannon wraithknight if you dont mind me asking. it seems a bit wasteful for points]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6399465.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6399465.page GMT "From the Skies!" 2000pts. Eldar FOC.

Since you are going to reserve multiple units, it would be a good idea to invest in an autarch. You could go bare bones in a serpent, or melta gun in a serpent for pinch AT. You could also take hawk wings and a melta to hang with a unit of birds. To afford the autarch, drop the shuriken cannons from the prisms, marksman's eye from the exarches and spirit stones from the serpents(their shield is good enough).

I agree about dropping suncannon and scattershield for dual cannons. The suncannon is okay if you take a scatter laser as well, but you should have enough dakka and blasts as it is, even to mow down terminators.

If you can scrap up spare points, get your farseer a singing spear for just in case anti tank. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6399607.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6399607.page GMT "From the Skies!" 2000pts. Eldar
IMHO drop the Jetbike farseer w/ mantle drop a fire prism and grab a Vaul Support battery instead. Throw the Farseer in the battery. If you want a last turn objective contester give him fal wings.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6399621.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6399621.page GMT "From the Skies!" 2000pts.

Not saying hordes will be a problem, with 90 shots from the Hawks, I think you're all set.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6399667.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6399667.page GMT "From the Skies!" 2000pts.

Well dont forget you can only THROW 1 grenade in the shooting phase. So unless you stick around for another turn you cant really use your grenades. Another suggestion is find the points so you can get hit and run with your swooping hawks. Nothing like being stuck in assault


Correct, but if I am not mistaken cant you use the Exarch to split fire and potentially toss a haywire grenade at a seperate target if I had to? And that is why I have the x2 Fire Prisms to handle any armor and I put the Suncannon on the Wraithknight because he is by himself and the Ward Save would come in handy but I do see the use of the x2 Wraithcannons. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6402403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6402403.page GMT "From the Skies!" 2000pts.

Split Fire is not a rule that Swooping Hawk Exarches have access to.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6402602.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571440/6402602.page GMT "From the Skies!" 2000pts.
