Arkay1a's Talking About Eldar

So here I was looking for a little info on how people use Wraith Guard to spice up the tactics for my Foot Slogging list when I came across Arkay1a. I was really impressed with his series Talking About Eldar.

This isn’t a small task so it’s inspiring to see someone jump in there and cover each unit with experience and detail as he has. Listening to other peoples opinions and uses for each unit is refreshing rather then reading over page upon page of forum banter and having to sift through so much nonsence. So when you have a moment please check out his channel and if you're as impressed as I was subscribe as well.

Foot Slogging Eldar 2

ok so things have not gone well with my attempts to make a foot slogging Eldar list. I think one of the big things is that I'm missing either war walkers or wraith lord.

• Wraith lord are tough to kill and have some nice long range weapons
• War walkers are cheap have long range weapons can be in a squadron and can outflank.

With this said I considered doing this as my last shot at a foot slogging Eldar list

• Avatar
• 5 Fire dragons
• Farseer (runes of warding, spirit stone, doom, fortune)
• 10 wraith guard (spirit seer, conceal, unit counts as troops)
• 6 howling banshee (exarch, mirror swords, war shout)
• 10 Dire avengers (exarch, defend, shimmer shield, power weapon)
• 10 Dire avengers (exarch, defend, shimmer shield, power weapon)
• 10 Pathfinder
• 8 Warp Spider (exarch, withdraw, power blades, death spinner x2)

There were lots of recommendations to put guardians in and I can do that, mind you the recommendations for wraith lords or war walkers i can't yet. :)

Foot Slogging Eldar

okay, so I've been going to tournaments with my mech Eldar but this time I want to try a list with everyone on foot. Here is my rough list so far.

Eldrad

10 Dire avengers (exarch, defend, shimmer shield, power weapon)

10 Dire avengers (exarch, defend, shimmer shield, power weapon)

10 Pathfinder

10 wraith guard (spirit seer, conceal, unit counts as troops)

Autarch (scorpion chain sword, fusion gun, mandiblaster, warp spider jump pack)

8 Warp Spider (exarch, withdraw, power blades, death spinner x2)

5 Dark Reaper (exarch)

total 1695/1700

Here is the general idea, deploy the pathfinder close to the enemy deployment zone use them to kill troops or try and pop light tanks. Move the wraith guard with Eldrad fortuning them up to the enemy lines followed by the dire avengers. I want to try the warp spiders and autarch idea (of course the autarch staying alone after the assault movement). Dark reapers to help clean up any opened tanks.

What are your thoughts? How would you use these? Would you replace the dark reapers with striking scorpions? Should I use a normal farseer and not use Eldrad? Should I go for higher numbers on foot offering more kill points or stick with offering less kill points with higher cost units?

Sry the video was late, had some issues uploading =D

Eldar Warp Spider & Autach Tactic

So my idea is that you get a group of 7+1 Warp Spiders and an autarch with a fusion gun and jump pack. This is a risky tactic to pull off. Deep strike the autarch behind a transport as well as the warp spiders and use the autarch to crack the tank and the spiders to clean up the disembarking troops. In the assault phase try and move the spiders and the autarch into coherency of each other so your hq cant be picked off easily. Rinse and repeat with the next transport or unit, followed up by assaulting them. I know there is some refinement needed but this it a thought I had. Let me know what you think :)

EDIT: Doh, ok looks like we can't have an independant character join back up with a unit during the assault phase as per page 48 of the rule book. The tactic will still work, you just can't have the two join up. Good catch Andrew & Elessar =D
