Ok since I am converting for the 300 point contest, i am not building an Eldar ranger army. I usualy play a mixed Eldar force of guardians, storm guardians, warp spiders, banshees and tanks, so this is new to me. I am very familiar with the codex. So far my army consists of:
1 Farseer with Doom and fortune and paraphenelia. (This one to accompany pathfinders) He has a spearso can kill vehicles at short range.
1 Farseer with Eldritch Storm and Guide and paraphenelia. (this one to help the Wraithlord and Dark Reapers)
25 pathfinders. (2 of 10, 1 of 5 so far, this is variable) If I forget these guys have the scout ability one more time. . .
A Wraithlord, with 2 flamers and a twin-linked bright lance. I know the twin linked weapons on a Wraithlord are expensive and not very effective compared to two different weapons, but I am fitting him to the ranger theme (he is already converted to a kneeling sniper position), so he wont miss.
5 dark Reapers, exarch included with the tempest launcher and fast shot.
This totals about 1200 points give or take. Any suggestions on where the other 300 points should go? I worry about my anti-tank capabilities, but am trying to stay within the stealthy, long range them of the army. I know, dark reapers?!?! they aren't stealthy! Well i gave them ranger cloaks modeled on and just wantedto try them, and they are long range ambush style firepower so i am going with it!
Ok, my options so far in concept:
A Second Wraithlord
A Vyper or two
A regular squad of guardians with a weapons platform
Striking Scorpions? Wellthey claim to be stealthy
Anyne who is familiarwith this theme help me out!
