Torn between making the WK into some Dark Reapers or Wraithguard in a Serpent, just to help keep my most valuable unit down and avoid those extra points for killing a LOW, but I've kitbashed a cool one, so... yeah...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8582599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8582599.page GMT Re:[1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!!
Are you trying to keep the spears small to have your opponent make tough choices? Kinda makes some sense at the end of the day.

Sorry if I didn't help much just kind of speaking my mind. my 2 cents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8582833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8582833.page GMT [1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!!
Mostly, to be honest, I kitbashed some warlocks for my seercouncil and i was trying to find a use for the models in this type of list... I could just make them be two warlocks, which MIGHT be more survivable, or bring a wee debuff. But I like having units that can outflank as well. and it means i can outflank my Autarch too. Its dead handy to have that in H&A games especially. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8582916.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8582916.page GMT Re:[1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8582952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8582952.page GMT [1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!! http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8583210.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8583210.page GMT [1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!! SS deathstar and it performs pretty well. Throw a biker warlock in there too for good measure.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8583220.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8583220.page GMT [1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!!
Can imagine a deathstar with a couple of farseers in there doing well vs marines etc...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8583650.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8583650.page GMT Re:[1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!!
If you want to play a list like this, I'd just cut the spears and go all in on min-maxing. Tournament players won't care about the min-maxing and casual players will hate it regardless of whether you include the spears or not.

If you want a shining spears themed list, I'd honestly revamp this one. The windriders work as troops so keep those if you want. I'd cut all the warp spider spam, then go from there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8583715.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8583715.page GMT [1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!! TBH. It's absolutely a tournament list, I just thought the spears maybe had a place in it. Then was joking about having a filthy list that still had Shining Spears in it. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8584232.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8584232.page GMT Re:[1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!!
Your list as is is pretty spot on, though I would say you don't have ANY psychic defense at all. This is one of the main draws to Eldar. Not saying at all that you're going about it all wrong dude, just offering up some perspective. I could see librarius conclaves giving you trouble throwing out invis, biomancy and the like on 2+ and you not being able to do ANYTHING about it but take it.

Is it a filthy list? Yep. Will the Shining spears be the weak spot? Probably. Should you give a flying feth? Up to you. Though if you wanted a 'shining spear themed' list, I'd go for like an aspect host of them, or two to get the point across. That's hella expensive I know, but it could be SICK.

Yeah. While I have played the Spider Spam thing a bit, my fave list to play is based around Seercouncil. But I figure that the ITC format is quite anti deathstar. So I thought going strong for MSU and playing hard for the missions was the sensible game. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8584761.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8584761.page GMT Re:[1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!! MSU and deathstars I'll probably enjoy the game more. ITC and 7th ed isn't really geared towards the 'take all comers' style list I usually like to field.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8584832.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8584832.page GMT [1850] - Eldar - Shining Spears for ITC!!
My local meta plays a great deal of highlander, I've had some mixed results with Spears. Periodically they come in as a supreme last minute score (as they're ignored being scatter-less), as well as made vicious melee counter attacks. On the other end of the spectrum though, they die just as easily as Windriders.

I don't see a huge downside for taking them but I'd be surprised if you came back with a success story either. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8585140.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/687203/8585140.page GMT
