Guardian of a Lost Cause The Fear Returns Ok here it goes. I am pretty sure this sucks as an army.
HQ
Autarch-77pts
Wargear: Forceshield, Scorpion Chainsword, Avenger Shruiken Catapault,
Plasma Grenades, Haywire Grenades
Elites
2 squads of Striking Scorpions-424pts
9xStriking Scorpions
Wargear: Shruiken Pistol, Scorpion Chainsword, Mandiblaster and Plasma Grenades
1xExarch
Wargear:Scorpion's Claw, Biting Blade and all the normal stuff.
Powers: Shadowstrike
Fire Dragons-120pts
4xFire Dragons
Wargear:Fusion Gun and Melta Bombs
1xExarch
Wargear:Firepike
Powers:Crack shot and Tank Hunter
Troops
2 squads of Dire Avengers-304pts
9x Dire Avengers
Wargear: Avenger Catapault
1xExarch
Wargear:2 Shuriken Catapault
Powers:Blade Storm
2 squads of Guardians-418pts
20xGuardians
1xWarlock
Wargear:Shining Spear
Powers:Enhance
1x Scatter Laser
Fast Attack
2 squads of Swooping Hawks-336pts
5xSwooping Hawks
1xExarch
Wargear:Sunrifle
Powers:Skyleap
Heavy Support
2 War Walker Squadrons-320pts
3xWar Walker
6xScatter Laser Total Point Value=1874 It looks alright. Though perhaps invest in getting your autarch a Mandiblaster. It is defenately an anti horde army thats for sure. May even give Space Marines a run for thier money. Yes it defeniately looks good, though perhaps you can put some things in up 2000 instead of your current point total. Yeah that was pretty much what I was going for. I mean if you took the time to calculate the number of shots I can get in one turn it will destroy Imp Guard in minutes. Not to mention the fact that Sky leap is an anti-horde attack with. I desgned it around beating the s**t out of my friends IG. though I think it will do well against BA and SMSW armies. They are close combat orientated so I can block them with scorpions and retreat to own with my scatter lasers. I'll try some combos to get the points higher. Maybe a falcon or a support platform to add a d-cannon.

Kalecos did you guys know that the eldar created the fantasy race lizard men. if you read the necron codex it soys that the necrotyr called the eldar the old ones. and if u read the lizardmen warbook it says that the lizard men were created by the old ones. 3nodding
Theres the simple fact that 'Old Ones" is horrendously vague. How many societies could possibly refer to their eldaers, ancestors, or creators as old ones? Thats hardly definitive proof. And finally is that GW has made it clear that unlike previously older fluff, the fantasy universe is seperate from the 40k one.

Well I proxied my tau for eldar. They were pwned by the Blood Angels. I kinda used them badly though. I should have attached my Auterach to my Shadow Scorpions. Well tomorrow we are going to recreate the same battle except for me using the Tau. It should take mere minutes to kill him. Extreme range.

Something I have realized lately, though they are a tad expenisve, shining spears are amazing.
Need a priority target taken out, Shining spears can do a pretty damned good job.
Their range is short, but they are on jetbikes, so they can move fast naturally AND they can move even faster if they need to.
S6 AP4 6" Assault 1, Lance
S8 AP4 6" Assault 1, Lance
That is really really nice.
They can move 12 inches and get in range... fire on the enemy. (Lance weapons count armor as 12. Except for the monolith, which ignores that) So even the basic laser lance has a chance of getting a glancing hit, but that is not the amazing part.
The amazing part is on the charge.
So lets say you have a squad of 5 shining spears with an Exarch.
You will have 4 S6 power weapon attacks and 1 S8 power weapon attack on the charge...
Now this assumes you hit them. WS 4 and 5 but I mean. ASHDOSPIfosid
I like them. xD

The reason was because they are trying to make it so that you can field a Swordwind host legally.
Jetbikes got moved to Trooooop.
so that pretty much covers all you need. xD Everything else you can get fast... including your HQ.
Saim hann + Shining spears = must.
I realized that.l
Shining spears would be perfect. Unit of 5 plus an Autarch.
And of course A unit of 10 Wraithguard with a warlock can be taken as a troop choice (Iyanden)
Aaaand Beil Tan? WEll suck it up and use Dire avengers as your troop choices. xDDD

Not bad, but Id say switch out the falcon for a fire prism. You already have plenty of flak power with the avengers. And a whole squad of fire dragons is even more shots, so perhaps a nice long range fire support tank. And of course the fire prism has BS4, and you can give it a shuriken cannon if you absolutely have to have a lot of shots.
That or perhaps consider a wave serpent. Either way, it seems workable. Any theme, or idea youre going for with it?

eldar are great because you have just about everything you can blast everything with dire advengers and thenuse harlaquins to kill every thing else then if you ever get the chance infultrltrait ranger pathfinders into a tall bulding the evemy has no way of reaching with the 2+ coversave and the fact you cant be charged you have an almost invinceable squad like terminators with out the fact that bigguns null your save
