Hey all

I am another new guy and finally ramping up my Epic: Armageddon project after buying / trading for a whole bunch of models . Anyways, I'm building up IG and Eldar to start, since those are the forces that interest me most and because one of my friends also has a huge thing for Eldar so it would help me to convince him to try the game   . I am still trying to grasp the rules and figured I'd submit a couple list ideas to see if they are crazy unbalanced or if they would give a good game between them. I'm shooting for 2k points to start, no war engines and no flyers. We can add those in later. Both lists were built out of the Epic Handbook 2008

These were my first shots at lists:

IG (using the Steel Legion list):

500 - Regimental HQ

350 - Infantry Company - (Swap out for Artillery + Sentinals?)
+ Fire Support Platpoon

650 - Tank Company (BTS)
+ Command Vanquisher

150 Rough Rider Platoon

350 Stormtrooper Platoon
+ Valkyries

Eldar (using the Ulthwe' list):

Avatar - Free

Wraithgate - 50

Black Guardian Warhost - 500 (BTS)
+ Seer Council
+ Wave Serpents

Guardian Warhost - 350
+ 3 Heavy Weapons
+ 3 Support Weapons
+ 3 Wraithguard

Guardian Warhost - 150

Windrider Troupe - 200
+ 5 Jetbikes, 1 Vyper

Aspect Warrior Troupe - 175
+ 4 Swooping Hawks (different aspect warrior?)

Aspect Warrior Troupe - 275
+ 4 Dark Reapers (different aspect warrior?)
+ 2 Wave Serpents

Swords of Vaul - 300
+ 5 Falcons
+ 1 Firestorm

Guard definately need more activations. The Eldar will run rings around them otherwise.

Since you're not using any aircraft I would loose the Firestorm and replace it with a Falcon.

Yeah, I was thinking it would give me more AP shots and then I realized that it isn't quite the infantry shredding machine that the Hydra is. So 6 falcons it is.

So my thought, to boost the activation count on the IG side, is to drop the 350 point infantry company for Sentinals + a Basilisk battery. They still start down one activation but that would even out with the webway gate. The other idea is to put in a Flak battery for the crazy number of AP shots it can take and a second stormtrooper company on foot.
