    Eldar Army Help

    I've been out of the tabletop loop for about three years, and I'm looking to finish off the Eldar army I was trying to build. I'm looking to be able to put together a 1,500 point force, as well as some flexible 40k in 40 minute forces. So far, I have:

    1 Avatar
    1 Farseer
    5 Warlocks
    1 12-man Guardian Squad
    1 12-man Guardian Squad
    3 Jetbikes
    1 Vyper
    1 Falcon
    4 Fire Dragons
    1 Fire Dragon Exarch
    4 Howling Banshees
    1 Howling Banshee Exarch
    4 Dark Reapers
    1 Dark Reaper Exarch

    I've got one Wraithlord (and refuse to have any more) on the way. I've been thinking about adding a third Guardian squad, as well three grav platforms.

    Anything else I'm missing of importance?

    more vypers with starcannons, add warlocks to guardian squads (with conceal power) and then wraithguard (expensive yes, but totally worth it) Also try to get more guyradians (their weapons are pretty good) i would avoid the avatar for now...its powerful but against a shooting army it might die b4 doing anything. Phonix lords are also very nice. Asurmen has a 3+ invulnerable and *kinda* a force weapon, and allt he others have really good stats/good stuff!

    Swooping hawks only good thing is nade packs but they aren't really worth it. And support weapon platforms have to be used correctly like if you want to have a really nice pinning monster get 3 vibro cannons (imo the options for support platforms are too specailaized)

    Skip the swooping hawks, they've got great speed but nothing else. They simply get to the fight faster so they can die sooner.

    FirePrisms are nice, but another Falcon would be better. You can put the Fire Dragons in one and the Banshees in the other.

    You could use some more anti-tank. You could get another Vyper, and arm them with brightlances, or you could put grav-platforms in the guardian squads. In my experience, you're better off putting starcannon in the guardian squads though.

    The Guardian squads need warlocks. Put one in each with conceal. This will ensure that some of them survive long enough to actually shoot the enemy.

    Only other thing you're lacking is a hard close combat squad. Banshees hit hard but don't last long. Consider investing in some striking scorpions. They've got heavy armor and lots of attacks, not to mention strength 4!! They are the premiere heavy assault troops of the Eldar force.
