I've been wanting to play Eldar for awhile now, and since I just went out and bought the Codex, I figured I'd bang out a smaller list which basically includes the units I like most. I would have liked to include more Pathfinders, as I think the models are awesome, but I was a little concerned with having my anti-tank be limited to a command squad and 1 tank.

I have very little experience with Eldar, as only two other guys in my local club use them, so my grasp on the tactics is very limited. I'd appreciate any tips and pointers very much.

HQ:

HQ TOTAL: 234

9 Scorpions

TROOPS:

Pathfinders
5 Pathfinders

Dire Avengers
1 Dire Avenger Exarch w/2 Catapults, Bladestorm
5 Dire Avengers

Guardians

TROOPS TOTAL: 315

HEAVY SUPPORT:

Also a few questions. I like Pathfinders, so obviously I'm leaning towards Alaitoc for a craftworld. Are Alaitoc lists less competative than other Craftworld lists? Are there any other characteristics to Alaitoc besides their amount of Rangers and ties with Harlies?

Thanks for your help in advance.
