I've just started playing with a couple of friends. I've gone with Eldar and they've gone Necron and Grey Knights. I had a stab at a starting my army today and I would like to know if it could be improved? e.g have I wasted points that could be better spent on something else.

HQ

Farseer on jetbike 115pts

Troops

5x Dire avengers - with Wave serpent ( Holo fields / Twin linked scatter lasers ) 200pts
5x Dire avengers - with Wave serpent ( Holo fields / Twin linked scatter lasers ) 200pts
5x Dire avengers - with Wave serpent ( Holo fields / Twin linked scatter lasers ) 200pts
6x Guardian Jetbike Squadron with 2x Shuriken Cannons 122pts

Heavy Support

Wraithlord 2x Brightlance and 2x flamers 160pts

Total = 997 pts

1 side note: When you roll for powers, don't go for Prescience AND Guide. In this list, the Wraithlord is your only unit that will make full use of either. In this case, I would roll twice on telepathy and take prescience. Depending on who my enemy was, I might instead roll on Runes of Fate until I hit a bad power, and then swap it out for guide and move on to Telepathy.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6616838.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6616838.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6616843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6616843.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6617503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6617503.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6617682.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6617682.page GMT
The strength of jetbikes is moving flat out 36", if you are pausing to shoot you are not moving much. The true effectiveness lies in the mobility.

If you want to run a large squad of bikes I HIGHLY recommend a 50 point warlock for a shrouded bike pack with 2+ jink cover. Watch out for tau though. However this does depend of whether you are being aggressive or not.

Not sure what kind of positioning you are going to have with your farseer, I assume hes traveling with the bikes?
Might be better off behind the Wraithlords giving guide/prescience and forewarning.

Always roll once on eldar table, 2 times on divination. If you are running an aggressive farseer no need for prescience other than the 2 shuri cannons.

Hope that helps mate!

Fortune
Guide

The divination table is far superior, this isnt even a question, its blatantly obvious. How long have you been playing eldar??]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6619094.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6619094.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6619421.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583908/6619421.page GMT
@CorpseCommander - Arbiter was giving me some help with the Warlord traits not Psychic powers. I think there may have been a little confusion there.

Taking all the advice on board that you've given me I plan to roll on the Eldar table and hopefully I'll get myself a doom or fortune, if that fails I'll take guide as my fall back power. I'll take the remaining rolls on divination and hopefully luck out there as well.

I'll take a roll on the Eldar warlord table as suggested. I'll leave rolling on the eldar supplement warlord table for now,, the other guys I'm playing with don't have their own specific warlord table, its our first game so I'll go easy on them .

If we don't get too bogged down with the rules I'll try and keep notes and do a little bat rep write up. The extra feedback from doing that would really help me and also probably show up the rules we got wrong.

Thanks again
