Post subject: | Some lists for advice |
Hello folks, List advice request here, sorry about the length. Going to have a few games on wednesday of this week as Eldar vs. Smurfs, and am looking for some advice on two lists I have prepared. I'm using Biel Tan with the official Errata. We are starting with 2000 pts, only infantry and vehicles as it has been a while since we both played, then hopefully 3000 and 4000 points including flyers and WEs depending on time. Below I have two lists, the 2k and 3k possibilities. Please cut them to bits, and any advice on tactics would be most welcome: 2000 Pts Webway Gate - 50 Avatar - Free (Hooray, best rule ever, and I have the old giant SM Avatar with the big sword to tower over the puny humans  ![]() Guardian warhost 1 - Farseer + 7 stands + 3 heavy weapons 200 Guardian warhost 2 - Farseer + 7 stands + 4 wave serpents 350 Aspect warriors - 8 swooping hawks + 2 exarchs 350 3 x Prism cannons 250 6 x Vypers 200 5 x Falcons 250 5 x Falcons 250 4 x Scouts 100 2000pts total 3000 Pts Webway Gate - 50 Avatar - Free Guardian warhost 1 - Farseer + 7 stands + 3 heavy weapons 200 Guardian warhost 2 - Farseer + 7 stands + 4 wave serpents 350 Aspect warriors - 8 swooping hawks + 2 exarchs 350 3 x Prism cannons 250 6 x Vypers 200 5 x Falcons 250 5 x Falcons 250 6 x Warwalkers 200 2 x Revenants 650 1 x Cobra 250 3000pts total Debating whether the lone cobra will do much, I could replace it with nightwings maybe in the 3000pts, and take 2 Cobras in the 4000pts? Am thinking of deploying Guardian warhost 1 out of the gate? Are their heavy weapons worth the points, or would I be better getting rid of their heavy weapons, the scouts and SH exarchs, and taking Warwalkers from the off in the 2000pts? Looking for advice on what to add to make a 4000pt list please. Will replace a falcon in each troupe with a firestorm to protect against air attack. Anyway here is what else I have available, including the above: 6 Wraithlords - was thinking of putting 3 of these in Guardian warhost 1, but I'm unsure if they would just make it too expensive and tempting/easy to take out from range 3 Phantoms - Bought 2 of these on Ebay for £2  ![]() 1 Warlock - Love the stats and fluff of this but unsure in such small games, never used one before 1 Scorpion 2 Cobras plus the one above, are 2 cobras better, or a cobra and scorpion paired? 1 Vampire - Aspect air assault? 6 Phoenix bombers - would 2 bomber wings be good in the larger 4000pt game, or a bit hit and miss, better to have things on the ground? 8 Nightwings 5 falcons (plus the 10 above to make 15 in total) 10 wave serpents (plust the 4 above to make 14) 4 Night spinners - are these any good versus marines considering they have ATSKNF 11 jetbikes 16 guardian stands (plus the 14 above to make 30) 10 support platforms 4 wraithguard - as for wraithlord, in warhost 1 instead of support platforms? As you can see I have a real mishmash of aspects, can only really field swooping hawks in any number 3 dark reapers, 4 harlequins, 3 striking scorpions, 2 Dire avengers, 2 warp spiders, 3 Howling Banshees, 2 fire dragons Any advice is welcome. Am worried about Terminators, they never die, never faced a Titan larger than a Warhound before either. Thanks |

That Warlock Titan is guaranteed to win any number of games vs. SM, they are ill-equipped to deal with it. Fielding it when you know you are facing SM is close to cheating! ![]() Nightwings will be useful to shoot down T-Hawks, denying the SM one of their strengths. Success is not assured, but Eldar have the best fighters for that task. I commonly mix my Windriders 4 Jebikers and 2 Vypers, giving the ability to put BM even when shot-at, plus having 4+ save Vypers up front to soak hits. The added vulnerability of the LVs is a worthy tradeoff IMO. |
