http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/14.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net DE a few months ago and gotten my feet wet with a several games of 7th, ( quit at the end of 5th) I have decided to avail myself of the Allies system. Of course, I chose Eldar. Now I know your thinking," Of course you did.....", but honest I'm not trying too build some cheesed#$k army. What I am trying to build is a nice themed army, that can play in league or itc formatted tourney's with out feeling like sellout or a power gaming netlister. No to much to ask for, right?

I have all the DE models (plus a bunch more), and none of the Eldar.

So my questions are....
1) Is this list viable? (Can I win games, if I am sneaky, and play to mission?)
2) Who should I make Warlord and what chart?
3) As I am knew to psychic powers what disciplines and whom to cast it on?
4) Anything I am missing?

On to the list.....

1850 Itc format

Grotesqurie (460 pts)

90 Haemonculus w/ sump & scissorhand

180 3 Grotesques including Abby w/scissorhand
Raider w/ shock prow

180 3 Grotesques including Abby w/ scissorhand

105 5 Warriors w/ Venom 2sc

73 3 Reavers w/ HL & CC

I would personally drop the 3 Warlocks for 4 Scatterbikes with 1 Warlock. That gives you a good unit for the Farseer to join and Guide, while giving you more shots, which you disparity need.
The Autarch needs to join the 6 Reavers. He gives them more punch and they give him Hit & Run. The Shining Spears are just there to help other combats

I was hoping to help mitigate that with the Warlock council, Shining Spears, and the Heat Lances, but definitely worried. What about shurricannons on you suggested squad could help with Me? Who should be Warlord? What Psychic powers? I know I want Psychic Scream to go with the sweet -3 Of from Grots and Succubus, but what else?

Thanx again!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706131/8976354.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/706131/8976354.page GMT If really are worried though, make some points for Dark Lances on the Raiders and Blasters in the Warrior units. That should cover you against all but the most heavy AV lists.

About Warlocks. I love them, but they suck. One Warlock costs about the same as 3 Windriders but will die like just 1. They also do not contribute a lot, seeing as a Farseer is only twice the cost as 1 yet over 3x more effective.
That is why I suggested more bodies and only 1 warlock as part of another Scatterbike unit.

About Shuricannons. I love these too. Fortunately, they don't suck, but the Scatterlaser is just better. The extra shot and range make all the difference. You can get into CC with the stuff that Shuricannons want to shoot at anyway, so why not play the bikes to their strength? I.e. staying as far away as possible.
