I just don't see the Lords fitting into this list due to the
mobility of the rest of it.
Not saying the lords aren't good but they belong in a different lis for me.....
Here is the
new version I'm likely going to test this Saturday:
1,749 points Ulthwe
HQ(210) Eldrad
(155) Yriel
TROOPS(127) 10 storm guardians w/ 2 fusion guns + warlock w/ destructor, witchblade & pistol
(145) Wave serpent w/ TL BL's & spirit stones
(85) 10 defender guardians w/ shuriken cannon
(145) Wave serpent w/ TL BL's & spirit stones.
(60) 5 Dire avengers
ELITES(192) 10 Striking scorpions w/ exarch, scorpion's claw & stalker.
(110) Wave serpent w/ TL shuriken cannons & spirit stones.
HEAVY(160) Fire prism w/ holo field & spirit stones.
(160) Fire prism w/ holo field & spirit stones.
(200) Falcon w/ EML, holo field, spirit stones & vectored engines
Swapping out a serpent & stormies for the avengers and falcon give me a very duarable scoring unit for late game and with only 5 models in the falcon there is room for either Eldrad or Yriel if I so choose. The falcon synergizes well with guide which Eldrad can do early on if need be.
I mainly like this idea as it is waaay cheaper on my wallet since I don' have to buy an extra serpent and an extra stormie unit...I'll miss the extra flamers but I've found I'm not getting them out enough to warrant them anyways.
Vectored engines on the falcon give that extra bit of insurance incase I get an imobilized result while siting over the objective I just boosted to.
Posted by: moc065 As for comp score, your all skimmer list will get crucified by any score that leaves it up to your opponent; the days of the Cheese Skimmers are too fresh in peoples minds still.
I've come to the conlussion that I'm going to get nailed no matter what list I run simply becasue it is Eldar. Im also testing a "wraith" list at 1750 which has:
Eldrad
Yriel
10 wraithguard w/ spirit ser & conceal
10 defenders EML warlock embolden
10 defenders EML warlock embolden
wraithlord EML BL
wraithlord EML BL
Wraithlord EML BL
10 harlies (6 kisses) SS,TM (pw) & DJ
This will also get slammed on comp. Of course, I could take Eldrad out for a "generic" Seer but then they'll point out I' playing an Iyanden style list while my army is painted in an
Ulthwe theme.....despite the craftworld codex being
gone and the changes to the game my army is still autmatcally
supposed to look and act a certain way....a handicap that none of my oppoents feel should affect themselves when fielding their beatstick lists...lol
AS to the dragons: I'd love to put them back in the list but they are literrally one shot wonders. This list s far capitalizs on staying mounted and at range for as long as possible. Since the dragons have to get close & dismount it's not really in my plan not o mention I need to keep what I have.
As to the prisms: I've been having
very good success with them of late. They killed 11 tactical marines, 3 terminators and a dreadnaught in my last game while also tak shocking and contesting objectives to allow for the win.
Edit: Grr, I hate the keyboard of my laptop at work - it doesn't register often making look like I can't spel...
Edit: it made me spell the word spell wrong....lol
