As part of my efforts to learn Eldar, I've decided to make some lists. Here's my first attempt at a 1500 Eldar list. I know that the list isn't perfect - for one thing, it's one point over, but the Eldar codex is old and messy and I don't want to bother fixing it - but I'm curious to hear your feedback.
The idea of this list is that it's supposed to be a very mobile foot list. Lots of infiltration, things that can outflank, and jet bikes!
I'm unlikely to settle on this list as my main list, because I really like painting vehicles. As a result, I've tended to gravitate towards mechanized armies, which let me paint some tanks, some transports, and some infantry. However, I see some ways that a list like this could be a lot of fun.
HQ
• Farseer w/Jetbike, 2 Powers
Elites
• 10 Striking Scorpions, Exarch w/Scorpion's Claw, Infiltrate
Troops
• 10 Dire Avengers, Exarch w/Two Catapaults, Bladestorm, Defend
• 10 Dire Avengers, Exarch w/Two Catapaults, Bladestorm, Defend
• 10 Guardians + Heavy Weapons Platform w/Bright Lance
• 10 Rangers (Pathfinders)
Fast Attack
• 5 Shining Spears, Exarch w/Star Lance, Hit and Run
• 10 Warp Spiders, Exarch w/Extra Death Spinner, Powerblades
The idea is that the farseer and his shining spears crew are my main hammer. They fly around, soak up fire, and try to use hit-and-run to stay locked in combat on my enemy's turn so that no one can shoot at them. The rangers, scorpions, and warp spiders all have ways of deploying behind enemy lines, while my dire avengers just have to footslog it. The guardians will probably camp a backfield objective and take on enemy vehicles with their bright lance.
Questions? Comments? Thoughts?
