1500 Alaitoc

[Deleted]

heres how i think my alaitoc is going to end up:
HQ
Farseer-spirit stones, runes of witnessing, guide, mind war

ELITES
Fire Dragons(6)-exarch w/ fire pike, tank hunters, crack shot

TROOPS
Guardians(19)-warlock with conceal, starcannon platform

Dire Avengers(10)- Exarch with power weapon and shimmershield, defend, bladestorm

Dire Avengers(5)- Exarch with duel catapults, bladestorm, defend

Rangers(5)- pathfinders

Rangers(5)- pathfinders

Wave Serpent- Shuriken cannon, twin linked starcannon, vectored engines, star engines, spirit stones

HEAVY SUPPORT
War Walker- Twin linked brightlance, spirit stones

Falcon- Bright lance, vectored engines, holofields, star engines, spirit stones

Puts me at 1502, and yes i put every upgrade on the vehicles because im cheap and didnt want to have to buy more stuff to spend the points on. can do that later on since i still need to get 2 ranger squads, the dragons, and some more avengers

No assault units?! You'll struggle against horde armies a lot. Good call on Alaitoc though, I'm toying with the idea myself

I find it strange that you only have one wave serpent, too. Surely the most attractive thing about the Eldar is their speed?

And if you can't afford a lot of models, why not concentrate on a kick-ass 1k list instead of a half-arsed 1.5k one?

I just think that you haven't really thought this through properly and you might end up not liking the army because you can't play well with it. Just my opinion, if it makes you think at all then i'm happy

You got any painted yet? I love the Alaitoc paint scheme ;D

Yea no assault units yet but ill get some, and i tailored this a bit so that the guardians could fleet and take cover with the 5 avengers and shoot with their starcannon. Then when something gets close let loose shuriken. The fire dragons will cruise around in the falcon and the 10 avengers in the wave serpent. no none painted yet though, still need to finish my main army (blood angels). I have had the marines forever and i only ever played with friends and my cousins so i never got around to finish painting since i really dont like it haha. But now im trying to get more into playing people in the store and tournaments and stuff so i need to get crackin. I'll tweak this list a bit and see what i can come up with though, thanks for the input!

so i changed it and took your advice making it a 1k point list, i reposted it and will prolly paint it ulthwe since i have no rangers and a bunch of guardians, we'll see though but yea check out this thread:

Fluff wise Alaitoc fight alongside harliquin more than any other craft world. Not to mension the clowns ROCK!

Couple things for you.

Warwalkers do much better in squads.

I'd take off a couple of vehicle upgrades and bump up the shooty avenger squad to 10. A 10 man avenger squad WTFPWNS horde armies. i've anihilated a full 30 man Ork Boyz squad with them before. Kite them so you get a couple extra rounds of shooting, then unload with bladestorm and laugh at the Orkie dude's face when you tell him that you're assaulting him! Money wise this isn't a big deal cuz avengers only come in boxes of 10 anyway.
