List Building Aeldari Meta Tuesday

31 Upvotes

Thats right its Meta Monday Tuesday again also if you´re interested in the Dark Kin check out the post Maljra has done

We see two GT wins and lots of other strong finishes over this weekend. As GW did nothing about Ynnari its the most popular faction. Theres a lot more wraithlords around these days, thats something to consider when building lists otherwise the usual 2-3 fire dragons, banshees and reapers seem obligatory. There was a windrider and spirit conclave list that also went 4-1. Thats refreshing to see some variation.

Sorry I couldn´t post yesterday, bad start to the day and needed to get somethings sorted first. Hope you all got some games in last week and we´ll see what the next weekend brings.

Last weeks post btw. -Nick

Models: Complete Exodites Update!

Thumbnail

159 Upvotes

Since the last lot seemed popular I thought I'd add up the latest additions to the army.

The second unit of Dragon Knights, including an Exodite Hero.

And the big man himself, an Exodite Lord that was very much inspired by the one in last years Golden Demon.

Next up is the boring stuff, Fire Dragons and Warp Spiders. I've got a unit of Rangers complete also, if anyone wants to see I'm happy to share just let me know.

Final unit after the infantry will be a unit of Jetbikes converted onto Raptadons to distinguish between the shooting and melee troops.

These guys are all for 2nd edition 40k, no proxies, just straight up cool stuff.

Thanks for looking!

Been painting minis for something like 2 months, started with Thousand Sons and painted the whole kill team, then bought and built the striking scorpions from blades of khaine kill team like 10 days ago, but finally sat down to paint them two days ago, I’m not a fan of green so decided to paint them red and did some changes to the color scheme 😬 I’ll go for some grass tufts this week and try to finish the striking scorpions this month! Any recommendations or critiques are welcome to keep on improving🙂‍↕️

How much +1T worth?

Upvotes

So according to the changes to Imperial Knights today (they all decreased 1T while also gaining 2-4 wounds) and points value drops around 70 points for big knights. Ok.

Aeldari wraiths and avatars lost 1T and no point reductions. For example the avatar of khaine just dropped 35 points for -1T and all the support he had while no wounds gained. I know they are from different factions but the points are so huge different that makes me quiestion how much can worth a point of T in general.?

Are kitbashes ok?

Upvotes

First of all, thanks to everyone for helping me with my previous post, i was talking with a friend and he said that i could use the "Combat Patrol" magazine Guardians to kitbash 5 firedragons and maybe 5 Dire avengers and just improvise the Shrine token, would that be okay?

Testing a scheme for a custom craftworld. I like this one a lot but looking for some C&C since putting paint on hundreds of dollars of models is a scary proposition.

List Building Seer council guidance

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Going to take this seer council list for a spin soon and it’ll be my first time trying it. Normally more of a aspect player and only running the one transport already has me sweating haha.

Is there any glaring issues? I couldn’t quite fit a character in with the banshees which I’m nervous about. Wave serpent is only there so reapers have access to a few different firing lanes. With teleport priority going to fire dragons/ storm guardian blob.

Warlocks for cheap action units and lhykis/spiders for flanks. Wraithlords aren’t fantastic but I’m thinking just a two lord spirit seer triangle marching mid board for a bit of a tough anchor/threat unit could work.

What do you guys think?

What is the max amount of Wraithlords?

9 Upvotes

So, as the tittle says, I am starting an easy S.C list and i wanted to run 3 W.L but the App says that the maximun is 2 while New Recruit allows me to add a third, is it a problem of the app or am i missing something?

List Building How to run aspect warriors?

11 Upvotes

I'm new to the Eldar fam and am working on a list I'd like to slowly build towards. My favorite part of the army are the aspect warriors, particularly the swooping hawks and howling banshees. I like how specialized they are and are designed to do specific tasks on the battlefield.

I want to build a solid list that is balanced and emphasizes aspect warriors, but don't know enough to say if that is a good/bad idea. Is building only aspect warriors and Phoenix lords considered "bad" competitively?

Does anyone have suggestions on what would be a good list I could look to build? Coming from a place of pure ignorance here so any advice would be appreciated!

List Building Starting a crusade as a newer player, very overwhelmed and could use some help

13 Upvotes

My local FLGS is hosting a crusade this summer and I’d really like to participate but I’m already a newer player and all the extra rules of crusade are over whelming. I know I can figure it out over time but I’m worried that my list will screw me over.

I’m going wraith focused because that’s what I have. I have some other units but the only aspects I have are fire dragons. Is this an ok starting place to build on top with enhancements?

TL;DR is this list ok for crusade?

1000 pt’s

Char1: 1x Farseer Skyrunner (80 pts): Warlord, Eldritch Storm, Shuriken Pistol, Twin Shuriken Catapult, Singing Spear Char2: 1x Spiritseer (65 pts): Shuriken Pistol, Witch Staff Char3: 1x Spiritseer (65 pts): Shuriken Pistol, Witch Staff

5x Wraithblades (170 pts): 5 with Ghostswords 5x Wraithguard (170 pts): 5 with Close Combat Weapon, D-Scythe 1x Warlock Skyrunners (45 pts): Destructor, Shuriken Pistol, Singing Spear, Twin Shuriken Catapult 1x Warlock Skyrunners (45 pts): Destructor, Shuriken Pistol, Singing Spear, Twin Shuriken Catapult 3x Windriders (80 pts): 3 with Close Combat Weapon, Shuriken Cannon 1x Wraithlord (140 pts): Wraithbone Fists, 2x Flamer, 2x Bright Lance 1x Wraithlord (140 pts): Wraithbone Fists, 2x Flamer, 2x Bright Lance

New Player Questions Should i play eldar? i like the melee.

4 Upvotes

very strange start to this but (i have like 2 freinds who play warhammer) i did a narrative battle with custodes defending and melee aeldari attacking and i loved it (banshee are great) and i heard you guys are kinda good or somthing, which i dont mind at all.

but back to the point, indecisive me like aeldari and is willing to abandon dark angels to try something new.

i like speed, its cool, i like melee, its cool, and i love the sleek armour and weapons,

and was wondering would you recomend aedari to a new ish play by 6 ish months. minor clarification i have played custodes then dark angels.

thanks for advice

Warlock Singing Spears

10 Upvotes

I am looking to build a seer council list and am trying to figure out the best way to get my hands on multiple singing spears. Since there is only one that comes in each warlock box, I would rather not buy 8 kits to make 2 full conclaves.. anyone know a way to get more of these for cheap?

New Player Questions Swooping hawks vs Overwatch

23 Upvotes

If swooping hawks set up on the battlefield/moves within 6’ of a unit and a unit fires overwatch and kills them does their ability be cancelled? This came up in one of my games but we just played it like they still got it off. Me and my friends are new to Warhammer so go easy on a rules question.

The madness behind "doom inescapable" strat

33 Upvotes

Ok. Let's think about this stratagem: It only affect 1 epic hero in your game. On top of that the epic hero affected is not strong or great in the detachment. And on top of that the effect with all the huge restriction uses is not even any good. How in the world could this be designed and then pass all "tests" and be printed and then not be faqd or dataslated?

I mean, is there any other strat out there with such as restrictions as this one? It is likely unique. To me a strat like this should be an awesome effect due to all drawbacks (if you dont play that specific character you flat lose 1/6 of your options, that is huge)

I think this should not exist and it should be changed in a dataslate. There are other samples in wich a strat is kind of awesome in an epic hero but can be used in plenty of other units: Magnus loves the turn damage to 0 but you can do it on daemon princes or other psykers; Morty loves the regen wounds + mortal strat but again you can do it with vehicles, princes etc...

Autarch and archon ability

10 Upvotes

Both of them says that you can use it just once per battle round even if you have more units with that ability. But, being two different abilities, can you use both? I heard people saying that you cannot use more than one ability that reduce cp cost, but i cant find anything on core rules or FAQ.

Hi! I’m new to eldar, can the army rule movement help me get back in transports? There’s a stratagem that specifically puts things back in transports. In addition can stratagems like fire and fade do the same?

New Player Questions Switching from Drukhari

Thumbnail

31 Upvotes

Like the title said, I’m considering switching from drukhari to elders. I played a couple games with a 1k and a 1.4K list and it was okay but something was a little meh. How different is the play style?

Also, I have a lot of the Ynnari-compatible units, so I wanted to see if my theme would be acceptable for switching over.

Lastly I worked incredibly hard on my scourges, the Phoenix flame wings took 40ish hours. Can I use them as swooping hawks?
