Topic: 8th Edition Aeldari List-building competition #1 -1,500pts All-comers

[volatilegaz]

•This is the first of (hopefully) many competitions along these lines. This one is for a 1,500pt Matched Play all-comers list. You should build a list designed to beat all comers in both Eternal War and Maelstrom missions.
•When writing the list, please make sure that it is legible and easy to read. Also please include the points total, plus a short break down of the tactics you plan on using with the list.
•All forces must be selected from the current Index: Xenos 1 only (and no Necrons!), so no fortifications or Forgeworld allowed. Also, the list must be Battle-Forged.
•The lists will be judged by the community, who will vote for the winner. When building and judging lists, please consider the following factors as being typical of a good list: adherence to the theme, competitiveness, ingenuity, quality of accompanying tactics, fun to play and minimal unit spamming
•From the time of this post, you have two weeks to write and submit an army list.  Post your army list in a new thread on the Eldar board and link to that thread by replying to this thread. Please only use this thread for list submissions.
•After posting your list, you may edit it based on comments you receive from the community, but with restrictions.  Any changes must be done to the original post in your army list thread.  Reposting the list further in the thread will not be considered legitimate changes for the contest.
•To submit your army list, post a link to the thread you created in this thread.  Please note, that once you do this you may not make any more changes to your army list!  If your original post in your army list thread shows an edit time after the time you posted your submission, your submission will be disqualified.
•After the two weeks are up, one of our friendly mods will post a poll with all of the submitted lists for the community to vote on.
•The poll will run for 1 week from the poll being posted, and the person with the most votes will be crowned the victor.
•I will create a new thread for every new contest that will be specifically for the submissions with any additional restrictions for that contest.

WOOOO - HOOOO!


Consider this my place holder and commitment to drop a list in here soon 

Here it is - my list. Hope you enjoy
1500 pts Comp List - all comers

[Tweedz]

Couple of questions since it has been awhile since I have been involved in 40k and a lot has changed.


1. Aeldari simply refers to the general space-elf species and would include dark eldar, eldar, and harlequins correct?
        1a. Does this mean it is a Ynnari list?
        1b. Do I have to include people from all three armies? ( I know next to nothing about dark eldar atm).

2. When i hear 'all comers' when referring to list building, often times I see lists that just seem to throw together any models the person has and are generally unfocused. But I assume you mean that regardless of what we bring, we should reasonably be able to take on hoards, elite armies, vehicle heavies, etc, etc?

[volatilegaz]

1. Yes.
1a. Not necessarily. You can stick to just one of the factions if you like.
1b. Correct. It should be the best list you can make without knowing who you'll be facing.

[Dread]

This sounds really fun and I appreciate the effort. Do you think you'll run a power points comp? Like 100 point list? I ask because around my gaming groups they are all doing power point games.

[volatilegaz]

yeah, there's definitely some power point comps in the pipeline

Just realized, I am not 100% clear on when lists have to be posted to here...

You post a link to your list here after you are sure you have finished tinkering with it. The deadline for doing so is 2 weeks from the OP, so 8th July for this one.

Considerations

Anti Horde - I strongly feel that Horde is the strongest in this edition with the removal of templates. For such purpose as to deal with the likes of an Ork/Tyranid/etc horde that wants to engage me, I bring 4 units of guardians as they seem like the most cost effective way of dealing with Horde like elements. I wouldn't want my Banshees or Scorpions fighting against 30 orks.

Anti Armour - Dragons + Serpents + Farseer. I believe I got that covered.

Flexibility - Scorpions and the Avatar I feel are very flexible in what they can target and be effective against. Scorpions specially can help shut down an enemy vehicle in the back lines, like a Basilisk/Manticore/Hammerhead simply by locking it in assault.

Serpents are durable and provide good supporting fire while getting my units where they need to be rather safely.

You need to post a link to the list, rather than post the list in this topic .

Lol i saw someone reserve a post for a future list and i didnt' make a thread for this list since it was 1500 i went and quickly edited one of my 2000 pts lists lol. So if it pleases the court I submit the above post as my entry.

My submission is the OP of this thread: 1500 pts competition list: Iyanden Ghost Warriors

[Irisado]

So if it pleases the court I submit the above post as my entry.

That's up to Volatilegaz, as he is the competition organiser.  I just make the polls once the deadline has elapsed.

Yeah, if you could post as a separate topic, and link to it here Akaitsuki, I would be grateful. It just makes things simpler if everyone does it the same way. Plus you then get the chance to discuss and tweak your list before final submission.
Cheers.

Made the final edits to my list and updated the tactics to reflect my unit changes.

Aeldari 1500 all-comers competition: Footdar

[Fenris]

Alrighty then, I guess this list would have to do:
1500p for competition mechanized Ynnari brigade
Almost all good things come in three

[volatilegaz]

There's been some faqs and facebook posts from games workshop suggesting thinks like hemlock spirit stones and autarch force shields have to be paid for.
No need to take them into account for this competition, but we will do in future comps.

In the future, please use the modify button. Double posting is against the forum rules, and for that reason, the system merged your posts.BTW, which part of the FAQ suggests that you have to pay for spirit stones on a Hemlock?
