First Tournament with Eldar

[Xenos and Proud]

Hi so im needing some help with my Eldar force that will be fighting alongside a Tau force in a doubles 500 Point each Tournament. It is Conflict Scotland by the way so if anyone has any information about that i would love to hear about that too.

The basic idea with our army is that the Tau deal with tanks and light infantry where they excel and hold objectives.

While my force of Eldar concentrates on Heavy infantry and claiming enemy objectives. I will use guardian jetbikes and Shining Spears for speed and probably a Fire Prism for the S9 AP2 blast. I wil use a biked Farseer to provide fortune.

So any ideas for either army.

well, your eladar army sounds quite good heres my thoughts.

HQ
farseer with jetbike, fortune, mind war, doom, runes of witnessing and warding, spiritstones. 205pts
TROOPS
2X3 gaurdian jetbikes with shurien cannons 152 pts
HEAVY
fire prism with shuriken cannon and star engines 140pts

Hmm... I don't like it. I guess it might work in conjunction with you're Tau friend, what's he bringing exactly?

It seems like you've got a lot of points sinks for a 500 point game.

don't know if this is still going but i thought i'd come up with a list

farseer - jetbike - doom

3 x jetbike - cannon - warlock / destructor

3 x jetbike - cannon - warlock / destructor

vyper - EML

vyper - EML


- 497


doom and destructor working hand in hand while the vypers have flexibility between firing @ troops or vehicles, plus the prism will only get 1 shot at least with 2 EML you have a back up should the first go wrong.


or there is this:


farseer - fortune

5 x rangers

10 x dire avengers - exarch - twin catapult / bladestorm

1 x fire prism - holo field - s/stones


- 492


farseer backs up the DA with fortune, rangers take out enemy MC's / characters, fire prism does the whizzy round blow stuff up thing

but that list is made more for getting bodies in, you could get even more by swapping out the DA and using guardians, then drop the HF/SS of the prism and that will get you even more
