This is part two of my effort to learn Eldar by making lists. Again, this list is far from perfect: I had to pour a lot of points into the Farseer, only to realize that once I take a useless power away from the scorpions, I'm still 27 points below. However, I think it gave me some useful experience playing with the Eldar codex, and I'm curious to read what you think of it.
This one is a mechanized list. In general, a real list I'd actually build to will probably look more like this (though I do like the idea of those jetbikes...). I get bored of painting only infantry and like to throw some tanks in there as well, and this list would let me do just that.
HQ
Farseer w/Runes of Warding and Witnessing, Spirit Stones, Singing Spear, 3 Powers
Elites
5 Striking Scorpions, Exarch w/Scorpion Chainblade, Scorpion's Claw
Troops
10 Dire Avengers, Exarch w/2 Catapualts, Bladestorm, Defend in a Waveserpent w/Scatter Lasers
10 Dire Avengers, Exarch w/2 Catapualts, Bladestorm, Defend in a Waveserpent w/Scatter Lasers
10 Guardians, Heavy Weapons Platform w/Bright Lance, Warlock w/1 Power, in a Waveserpent w/Scatter Lasers
Fast Attack
10 Warp Spiders, Exarch w/2 Death Spinners, Powerblades
Heavy Support
Falcon w/Bright Lance, Shuriken Cannon
The idea here is that the farseer rides with the scorpions and takes out heavier targets, with the help of the falcon. The dire avengers are more multipurpose, while the guardians look for a good vantage point to shoot at things with their heavy weapon. The warp spiders are here because it's always good to have something that I can drop behind enemy lines and use to clear objectives. Also, they make a good anvil to the scorpions' hammer.
