I have played with imperial fists against Tyranids
I have played with tau (kroot) vs imperial guard line tanks and sisters

Lost both games. With zoanthropes behind aegis mid field. 2+ cover save 4 flyers all died at the end of game but lost from the strengh/amount of their fire power
Lost to imperial line because of the amount of fire power, couldn't get close, couldn't kill 1 tank. Had thud guns 3 for less than "200" pts and destroyed our lines. All av 13 ish...

Could you give me types on my list and tactics for what i can do against these lists/ what sort of changes i can make. With the wave serpent only traveling 12" a turn i couldn't get the wraith guard into range. We had table ends the far side. Please i need help.

no wonder you are having problems, the list need allot of help. There's no thy theme, no competitive units, and weird hqs. 3hqs is really a waste, I would drop kandarusa, and get a jet bike with mantle of the laughing God for the far sear. I wouldn't take any of those elites you're taking. Cc really isn't great in 6th and that includes eldar. Your troops are very miss mached. Gerry a wave serpent for each dire avenger squad.

After all of this you should have no problems with others

This really sums it up well. I play Eldar and there are a few things I would suggest from my own experience:

- troops should be in a wave serpent whenever possible. They greatly help the survivability of your units and are just too good to pass up.
- I would suggest stock wraith knights for heavy support.
- condense down to 1 HQ. you could use the extra points towards more wave serpents.

- I would consider doing more than 5 man squads of dire avengers. 5 man squads tend to die quickly in my experience and yield first blood easily.
- Considering CC is what it is in 6th and Eldar are not really a CC army, stick more with a style of ranged combat. If you want cc in your army, take it as a compliment to your shooting units.

Hope that helps a little.

That's a little more like it.

If you are dead set on close combat, don't underestimate some of the Psyker powers. With a good roll, you can get some nice buffs to make your units more durable/potent in cc. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574407/6459684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574407/6459684.page GMT Eldar Problems 2000pts
Other then that serpents, WK, WW, and spiders are the really only good things left in out codex so if you don't like to spam don't plan on winning often. (hey ninjafire you said waveserpent again i'm still counting)

Only change to this list is autarch to farseer and boom head shot.

If you wish to try something that is a bit harder to play then point and shoot serpent spam, go with the seer council because it's fun without being over the top (really its not over the top!) plus it gives people who like wizards lots of powers.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574407/6459731.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/574407/6459731.page GMT Eldar Problems 2000pts
