Eldar Balances Footslogging [200]
Hi this list has been through a lot of alterations!
Any critiquing will be much appreciated, but i will give my reasoning for my choices.
Here goes:
=== HQ ===
Avatar of Khaine 155
This guy is going to be at the forefront of my attack, He will be used to absorb he majority of fire, and although I’m not expecting him to get to their line, if he does he'll be devastating.
Eldrad 210
This guy will be with the Harlies benefiting from the Spiritseer Veil of tears, hell be casting fortune on the Avatar when advancing so he can absorb even more fire. Then when I get near to my opponent's line he'll attach himself onto a unit of Dire Avengers and cast Doom, Guide and with the Exarchs Blade Storm will cause a massive volley of 27 S4 AP5 shots re-rolling to hit and re-rolling to wound.
=== Troops ===
5 Pathfinders 120
5 Pathfinders 120
As the bulk of my army advances these guys will be sitting in cover sniping away, weakening the enemies’ defense for there impending doom.
Dire Avengers 165
Exarch w/ power weapon and Shimmersheild
Defend
Bladestorm
Dire Avengers 165
Exarch w/ power weapon and Shimmersheild
Defend
Bladestorm
These guys will really come into their own when they can unload there mags into the enemy. As I already mentioned earlier Eldrad will make a big difference to these guys destructive ablility. The Defend is in there to finish of with a decent assault after the shooting phase, and the power weapon and Shimmersheild is in there for the same reason, as well as the fact i have no power weapons in this list.
=== Elites ===
10 Striking Scorpions 199
Exarch w/ Scorpions claw
Shadowstrike
Stalker
These guys infiltrate near any long range fire power, broadsides, whirlwinds, hammerheads, and even snipers. Then after these guys have taken out what they target. The rest of my army can advance in relative safety.
10 Harliquins 292
8 Kisses
2 Fusion Pistols
Troupe Master
Death Jester
Shadowseer
It’s a footslogging list, so yes I have Harlies. The spiritseer is a must-must buy as the Harlies will be defenseless otherwise. The Troupe Master is there for his extra attack and leadership; the Death Jester because IMHO a 24" S6 AP5 Assault 3, Pinning weapon, and an awesome looking model is worth the 10 points.
3 Wraithguard 105
Warlock 49
Conceal
Spiritseer
Witchblade to singing spear
These guys were sort off a last minute addition to my army, I had about 150 points left to spend, and didn't want to get any more troops, couldn't get any more heavy support, and fast attackers didn't really fit into my army. So I had a choice between a small unit of footslogging fire dragons, or howling banshees. I f I was playing mechdar I would take the banshees because of the power weapons but because I cant zoom across in a Wave Serpent I thought that the Wraithguards would be the best option. I also through in a conceal warlock, for the added survivability.
=== Heavy Support ===
3 War Walkers 230
1 w/ bright lance and EML
1 w/ 2 bright lances
1 w/ 2 EML
I was going to go for a Nightspinner and a unit of Fire Dragons in a Wave Serpent but because this isn't mechdar, I thought that the anti tank capabilities and their abundance of shots, made the War Walkers the best option. I gave the unit a good mixture of weapons so they could handle most circumstances, but the main job of this unit is anti tank.
Wraithlord 155
2 flamers
EML
Bright Lance
Wraithlord 155
2 flamers
EML
Bright Lance
What can I say...?
...Two epic monstrous creatures that can take a beating and are awesome at long range shooting and even more devastating in combat.
Total 2000
There you go. Thank you all very much for reading and I hope you can give me an insight on what you think of this army.
