The flyer is also questionable as tau intercept like crazy and it is so fragile.

I'd run something like:

Farseer
5 fire dragons in serpent
5 warp spiders
Riptide
Riptide
Jetbike x3
Jetbike x3
Jetbike x3
Fire prism (though night spinner is better v tau)

The DAs are decent backfield holders though they have big problems with tau shooting and unfortunately the rangers are a waste of points v. Tau.

I don't know what other models you have available, the best answer to tau for eldar is heavy hitting offense. Walkers or wave serpents bring them down

Wraithknights are better stock in almost every single circumstance. The glaive is by far he worst upgrade you can give him. it looks cool, and that's as good as it gets, you have to remember - he is already strength 10 and ap2 in combat, AND he can fire both his cannons before he charges. The stock cannons are so good - keep them. With the 30 points saved and now with better weapons, I'd use thouse points in 2 places. firstly, if you are going to take a crimson hunter, use the 20 points to upgrade to an exarch. it is definitely worth it. I'd then use the remaining points to attempt to put holo's on the serpent. A single serpent is probably going to attract a LOT of firepower, so you want to make it as survivable as possible.

A single squad of 9 jetbikes is probably too many, and will lead to you bunching them up in order to try and make best use of cover, perhaps 2 squads of 4 would be stronger and more reliable? also increasing your scoring numbers.

If the Farseer is hiding in the avengers, then its almost worth the exarchs shimmer shield to make the farseers bodyguard tougher to kill.

Warp spiders are an epic unit in the dex. But I wouldn't drop the fragons serpent for them. the fragons need that transport or their guns will be easily avoided. If you do squeeze spiders in then don't bother with the exarch. an absolute point sink when you consider that he could be removed from play just from a WJG move. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577510/6500276.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577510/6500276.page GMT is this a good 1500pt eldar army http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577510/6500587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/577510/6500587.page GMT is this a good 1500pt eldar army
