You also have a Farseer on foot, your bikes don't have Scatter lasers and a Wraithlord somehow got into your list. I'd say you are on your way to making a good, but not cheesy list.
I would split the Windriders into 2 units of 3 and use them as harassment/objective grabbers.
I might also give the Dire Avengers the Scorpions Serpents since the scorpions have infiltrate and can't assault out of the Serpent anyway.

Minor technical note: Please don’t list individual upgrade costs. Unit totals are fine though. There is a sticky with a few other forum rules at the top of the section.

Your list looks pretty good overall. Obviously, there are a few things you could do to make it nastier. But it looks balanced and would be fun to play against.

One thing that stuck out was I think the DA could use the WS more then the scorpions]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704709/8947493.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704709/8947493.page GMT Re:[1500] - Eldar - Eldar list and addons WS for the DA as you both suggest. I wondered if i was aiming for a 1850 list, what i would add to make it a little bit nastier? I am considering Hawks, spiders, Hemlock, Jetseer?

I wondered what was wrong with a wraithlord? I couldnt see any apparent weaknesses apart from lack of ++ save. I think i needed something with a couple of Bright Lances to do the job in case the fire dragons get wasted. I also have a Falcon I can paint up if you think that would be better. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704709/8948525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704709/8948525.page GMT [1500] - Eldar - Eldar list and addons
Falcons are in the same boat. They are not bad in an absolute sense, but why take one instead of a wave serpent? The WS is significantly tougher due to it’s shields, carries more guys, can be taken as a slot free dedicated transport, and still has respectable firepower. That said, In my limited experience, Falcons still do fine. I have two (they are the model that brought me to the army) and they still bring the firepower. Last time I ran them I went with the classic scatter laser for the spare gun, but I think brightlances might be in order for the future. Either empty as gunboats or with a small squad of aspect warriors (fire dragons are great, or DA for objective grabbing).

All of the units you list to add on are good. I might go with the Crimson Hunter over the Wraithfighter, as it’s better for keeping the skies clear. What else to add really depends on what you like. And what your local meta looks like. You have a fairly balanced list as-is, so you might want to see what’s giving you problems on the table and adjust from there.

With Eldar, there is no wrong choice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704709/8948612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/704709/8948612.page GMT
