1) Scrap the Eldar allies and the Ethereal and add a Buffmander and more Firewarriors. Like the phycic defense and the ability to make both Riptides twin-linked from his powers and the speed if the bikes, but don't know if a Buffmander would work better.

2) Drop the Landing Pad and 2 Missile Drones and add another Jet Bike squad and an ADL.

3) Drop the Landing pad and 2 Missile Drones to add an ADL with Quad gun. This is what I will likely do as I have very little AA.

Why not slap that Farseer on a jetbike and bring more jetbikes? That would give you better scoring units than 2 units of 6 firewarriors will.

Groups of 6 firewarriors are going to die...FAST so either bring more firewarriors (groups of 9 are good) or bring some more jetbikes, or even a group of dire avengers in a wave serpent. That would give you more of the benefits of Eldar since wave serpents and jetbikes are SICK haha

That works farily well, but any decent amount of blast weapons will ruin your day. 4++ won't hold up to any sustained amount of dakka, and being huddled on the pad is asking for a pie plate. This also locks 2 of your 3 scoring units up on the pad, so no way to get objectives. I agree about getting more jetbikes or scoring in general.

That said, I like the seer over the buffmander. Psychic defense is not that critical, but it helps. The buffmander is a bit set in what it does, and costs a fair penny. The farseer is cheaper, and although guide/prescience is a nice default, the potential support powers are fantastic. Doom, fortune, forwarning, perfect timing, misfortune, puppet master, invisibility, hallucination and psychic shriek are great. The buffmander would give you a tougher HQ so your not giving your warlord out; if you keep the ethereal bubble in with the sides and you should be ok.

If you swap the hammerhead for a second skyray, it would fix most of your issues. Between EWO sides and 2 skyrays, you should be okay on anti air. The skyray also brings mobile markerlight support, making you less dependent on pathfinders. Drop a unit of pathfinders to get another jetbike squad.

For the rays, take disruption pods and smart missiles ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573190/6432828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573190/6432828.page GMT EWO at 2 units, but that wont stop 30-40 turn 1 marines wiping out your 2 fire warrior and 2 pathfinder units before you can blink. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573190/6432965.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573190/6432965.page GMT
