So after what seems like an eternity i finaly decided a while back to go with eldar for my second 40k army, wanted something more competitive then the first one.
Decided on Ulthwe for the color scheme but winter themed, so still black/white as primary colors but replacing red/yellow for blue/silver as the main secondary colors with a snow/rocky base.
Already purchased a bunch of stuff for the army and even have had some of it painted already.
Here is what i have so far:
HQ (210 points)
Eldrad Ulthran (210 points)
Elites (121 points)
Fire dragons (121 points)
- Troupe Leader /w fire pike and crack shot
- 5 Fire Dragons /w fusion gun and melta bombs
Troops (354 points)
Black Guardians (count as dire avengers) (177 points)
- Exarch /w defend, bladestorm, power weapons and shimmershield
- 9 Dire avengers /w avenger shuriken catapults
Black Guardians (count as dire avengers) (177 points)
- Exarch /w defend, bladestorm, power weapons and shimmershield
- 9 Dire avengers /w avenger shuriken catapults
Fast Attack (0 points)
Heavy Support (552 points)
Falcon (215 points)
- Starcannon, shuriken cannon, holo-fields, spirit stones and vectored engines
Wraithlord (140 points)
- Wraithsword, 2 flamers and a bright lance
Dark Reapers (197 points)
- Exarch /w reaper launcher and crack shot
- 4 Dark Reapers /w reaper launchers
I have some points left over and not really sure where to go with them.
Shining spears would be great since they are a great counter assault unit, i love the look of them and eventually i am planning on replacing the fire dragons with harlequins and those 2 units would work well together i think, plus after reading warrior coven it appeals to my sense of fluff that the only 2 aspect in the army would be reapers and shining spears.
I also considered adding a 6 man squad of pathfinders, mostly because i love the look of them or maybee some wraithguard and a warlock with conceal to group up with eldrad.
The problem mostly with all those ideas is i know for a fact how fragile 3t 4+ save model can be from playing a storm trooper heavy DH list so i am worried that only 2 squads of dire avengers in what is already a very low model count army is really not going to work.
Would love a little feedback on what i have so far, what changes i should think of making and units i should consider adding.
I definatly want something that is competitive, for friendly games and tourneys as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
