Hey everyone. I posted a 1750 Eldar list awhile ago for a tournament I plan on attending soon and since then I have done a lot of tweaking. Mostly I added in about 500 pts of tau to fill in some AA gaps and to hopefully multiply the rest of the force a bit with the commander. Anyway here's the new list:
+++ Vegas Eldar (1750pts) +++
+++ 1750pt Codex: Eldar 6th Edition (2013), Tau Empire 6th Ed (2013) Roster (Primary Detachment, Allied Detachment)) +++

The Eldar stuff should be mostly self explanatory. I went with a commander with all those crazy upgrades as they all transfer to friendly models and since he's fairly mobile I can get him where I want him fairly quick. Was thinking of starting him with the riptide to get a couple crazy powerful ion accelerator blasts off in the first couple turns. The riptide is there for good AA and to also just generally kill crap. The Kroot are there as my mandatory Tau troop and mostly to fill the role that my rangers normally fill: sit on some back line objective.
In my mind I can see this being a really nasty list but haven't play tested it yet (will do so next week). So any thoughts? Would broad sides be better? Crisis suits? A farsight enclave list? Let me know!
