    What to do with these Eldar?

    So I was bored and sat down to build an Eldar list for 2000pts next month, so I know what to paint, and I came up with this.

    Spiritseer- 70pts.

    Baharroth- 195pts

    Wraithguard- 320pts
    10x Wraithguard

    Wraithguard- 320pts
    10x Wraithguard

    Windrider Jetbikes- 51pts
    3x Jetbikes

    Windrider Jetbikes- 51pts
    3x Jetbikes

    Windrider Jetbikes- 51pts
    3x Jetbikes

    Rangers-60pts.
    5x Rangers

    Wraithlord- 160pts
    2x Scatter Lasers
    2x Flamers

    Wraithlord- 160pts
    2x Scatter Lasers
    2x Flamers

    Wraithknight- 240pts.

    Swooping Hawks- 160pts
    10x Swooping Hawks

    Swooping Hawks- 160pts.
    10x Swooping Hawks

    1998pts.

    My concerns/ comments
    1. But JR! You're using Baharroth and 2 units of swooping hawks? Do you even want to win?!
    -Shut your dirty mouth

    2. I only have 3 units of Jetbikes sadly, so that ranger squad is just kind of shoved in there. I'm not in love with the little unit but I'm not sure what else to do with 60 points

    3. Is it worth taking a wraithguard unit to 5 wraiths and putting them in a waveserpent?

    4. Is two dakka wraithlords even worth it? I love having one at least, but is that okay to deal with flyers maybe? I also have the obscene amount of S10 shooting, but basically the dual bright lance Wraithlord is underwhelming.
    I have Dark Reapers too if they might fit better?

    1. That many hawks with Baharroth is actually pretty nice.

    2. Rangers are fine. They probably wont even be shot at cause all the other threats.

    3. Not if they don't have D-sycthes.

    4. Reapers would be better but don't fit the theme at all. But sometimes you gotta say **** the theme lol.

    Swap the word "theme" with "synergy" and your golden. Also it is funny that you are assuming that the list with 20 swooping hawks is trying to power game by adding dark reapers

    Hey man, I just mentioned it because I know JR likes that kind of thing.

    Sometimes stock wraithgaurd are good to. More survivable, and can double tap out those pesky wraithknights and riptides, which can really shift the game in your favor.

    I think my theme got lost somewhere with the 3 units if jetbikes and refusal to use the wraithseer over baharroth.
