As the title says, I'm playing in an escalation league with Eldar. We go up 250 points every two weeks, culminating in 1500 points.
I did well the first two games vs Death Guard and Black Templars but was utterly murdered by Tau (seriously wasn't even fun to play) and Space Marines with an aegis, thunder cannon and conversion beamer (dice didn't help).
So the next bump is in two weeks. Trying to plan the rest of my army. Here's my list at 750. My future options are below. If it helps, the meta is Tau heavy, and cover kinda sucks. Some lists have tons of foot troops, some are vehicle heavy, so anti-armor is a judgement call.
750 points
Jetseer w/ spear - 120
Dire Avengers (10) w/ PW/SS exarch and Disarm- 160
Dire Avengers (10) w/ dakka exarch - 145
Jetbikes (3) - 51
Jetbikes (3) - 51
War walkers (3) w/ 6 bright lances - 210
Options for next escalations
What I own:
Wraithknight w/ two heavy wraithcannons - 240
5 Fire Dragons -110
Wave Serpent (still in box) - ~120
What I'm considering:
Swooping Hawks
Fire Prism
I don't want to lay down a lot more cash right now so advice is appreciated with that in mind. I'd like to work with or add to what I have above. I'd just run 3 wave serpents were money not an issue.
Edit: I'm already planning on making the DAs naked.
