Well, the codex came in today. Alllllright! So here is my first list. Meaning that it probably is a dismal failure. :lol: But that's what commentary is for! I think that I might enjoy the concept of aspect warriors too much. :shifty: I might have alternate, shootier lists. However, I like my aspect warriors getting some for now. Enjoy, and have at it!
Some first glances at my own list have questioning the use of 2 HQs, not having enough firepower and the usefulness of 8 hawks rather than 6...
HQ - 183 pts
ELITES - 640 pts
TROOPS - 338 pts
FAST ATTACK - 210
HEAVY SUPPORT - 370 pts

Eldar 1850 points
HQ - 183 pts
Autarch - 120 pts
Swooping hawk wings, mandiblasters, power weapon, fusion gun.
Farseer - 163 pts (!)
Singing spear, jetbike, runes of witnessing, spirit stones, doom, mind war.
The autarch supports wherever he is needed, slicing monkeigh spines or popping tanks alike. The farseer will support the advance of the banshees and scorpions, dooming and such.

ELITES - 640 pts
10 Striking Scorpions - 212 pts
Exarch w/ scorpion chainsword and scorpion's claw, stalker and shadowstrike.
9 striking scorpions.
6 Fire Dragons - 121 pts
Exarch w/ fire pike and crack shot.
5 fire dragons.
10 Howling Banshees - 352 pts (holy... crap)
Exarch w/ executioner, war shout and acrobatic.
9 howling banshees.
Wave serpent w/ vectored engines, star engines, spirit stones, twin-linked scatter lasers.
The scorpions infilrate and attack targets of opportunity. The fire dragons hitch a ride on the falcon, praying to be overlooked until its too late. The banshees ride their incredibly expensive wave serpent to the enemy lines, disembark in cover (hopefully) and have at the bag guys. Hopefully they can get some terminators and the like as notches on their belts.

10 Dire Avengers - 169 pts
Exarch w/ dire sword, shuriken pistol and bladestorm.

Exarch w/ dire sword, shuriken pistol and bladestorm.
9 dire avengers.
I've never spent so little on troops in a 1850 pt list, but there is a first time for everything. I am still wrapping my mind around Eldar. They will grab objectives, hold table quarters and do whatever they need to. I wil experiment with them in wave serpents later on, practicing their new tactical applications. I like them.

FAST ATTACK - 210
8 Swooping Hawks - 210 pts
Exarch w/ hawk's talon, skyleap and intercept.
7 swooping hawks.
I'll have to see if I feel bad about unleashing the grenade packs upon the enemy as much as possible. Given most player's shameless tactics, I won't be bothered in the least. They will still be useful busting tanks, wasting light infantry with their lasblasters and violating skimmers.

HEAVY SUPPORT - 370 pts
Falcon - 220 pts
Bright lance, shuriken cannon, vectored engines, holofield, spirit stones.
War Walker Squadron (2) - 150 pts
2 war walkers w/ scatter laser and bright lances.
The falcon is primarily fire support, but will also drop off the fire dragons in an opportune place. I have to get some experience under my belt before I decide if two of them is feasible. Also with their weaponry. Some trial and error is in order. The war walkers grab cover and send lance fire downrange. Their scout move will be used to its fullest extent, since they'll initially set up with the falcon.
