Hi everybody!
Given that Allies of Convenience isn't a huge penalty I've started tinkering with how to mix Eldar and Marines. Fluffwise Eldar are second only to Tzeentch in manipulating the fates of 'lesser' races so I don't have any real issue with mixing these books. Also while not uber competitive like Taudar I think there are some synergies to build from. This list focuses on speed.
Anyhow here's the first draft of the list. Any suggestions, criticisms or pointing out of blind spots would be very much appreciated.
The Need for Speed
Primary
1 Farseer, Jetbike
6 Jetbikes (2 x Shuriken Cannons)
10 Guardians
1 Wave Serpent (TL Scatter, Shuriken Cannon, Holofields)
10 Guardian
1 Wave Serpent (TL Bright Lance, Holofields)
6 Swooping Hawks
3 War Walkers (2x Scatter Lasers)
Allied
1 Captain, Bike, Artificer Armor, Shield Eternal, Burning Blade
5 Command Squad, Bikes, Apothecary, Champion, 3xMeltaguns, 3x MB, 3x Storm Shied, 1 x Lightning Claw
8 Bikes, 2x Meltaguns
1 Attack Bike, Multi-Melta
Clocks in at 1746 points and 53 models.
11 KP's and can expand to 5 scoring units by Combat squading the marine bikes.
My thought with flyers is basically to ignore them and try to maul the enemy ground forces as quickly as possible. Expanding to 2k I would drop in an Eldar Nightwing Interceptor but it eats a lot of points at 1750.
Thanks mates!
