I'd recommend DL instead of disintegrators on the one ravager.

Seems a bit light on the dark eldar, but no arguing with the wave serpents. I tend to leave the holofields at home with my DE, but that's mainly because I have so many venoms/raiders/ravagers and they are easier to pop... so people focus more on them. Since you're light in that department with only two venoms, the holofields may be a good buy in this army.
Suggest getting at least a blaster in there for each of the kabalite squads, recommend switching out one of the guardians for dire avengers and dropping the shock prow to get the points.

Other than that, I assume that the beastmaster squad includes 4 beastmasters (points work out). I personlly go with less (3 masters/5 khymerae/4 razorwing) just because they're more manageable on the field.

Where does the farseer go? I think he'd be ideal with the beastmasters, but will suffer from slow-man-syndrome without a bike.

Looks reasonably solid all around.

Also, They call me Griff, you are right about the beast unit; it has a huge footprint, so making it smaller and more manoeuvrable helps. I've put the far seer on a jet bike so he can keep pace with them now (rather than with the wraithguard).

for optimum power you need holofields on wave serpents. If you can find the points it would bring it up a level.
perhaps exchange the wraithguards for fire dragons or something.

then its a list to beat tau/dar]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573205/6436236.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573205/6436236.page GMT
I think this army achieves my aim.

I don't know where the bad wraithknight touched you, but I'm sorry you have been scarred. Lol?

Couple of things:

Allies is a key element in 6th. Tyranids are the only army that lacks the privilege and the new book failed to address this imbalance. Since I only play nids and DE, and DE have only one battle brother. Well...it not rocket science. Regardless of competitiveness, Eldar is the only choice.

You think waveserpents signify powergaming? Sheesh...they are great, but they are a basic transport and without holofields. How about guardian jetbikes? Can I take those or do they make me a powergamer too? You also said "the" 2++ re-rollable like my 156 point beast master unit is feared across the galaxy. You know that the really problematic 2++ are seer councils, grimoire daemons, etc. Baron scares you? Here's a tip: don't shoot at him.

A 300 point wraith knight is power-gaming? Oh please...

I'll tell you simply that I don't believe this is a power gamer list by my standards or further, by standards shared by most players who enjoy competition.

On topic: The reason I'm going wraithguard over fire-dragons is that a prefer plastic over finecast. That's it. How very power gamey of me, right?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573205/6439491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/573205/6439491.page GMT
