HQ
Autarch
Farseer
Warlock
*** The Autarch and Farseer make for good HQ's. The Avatar is pretty good also, but not as easy to use effectively as these two. I use one of each in my 2250 army. How do you normally kit them out?
ELITES
10 Scorpions - exarch
6 Banshees - exarch
6 Fire Dragons - exarch
*** Considering their transportation options, I'd think that you'll need a Serpent to get the Banshees or Dragons where they can do some good. Otherwise, good solid choices. Usually though, as a combat unit, Banshees do better at full strength. Really think about adding a Serpent for them.
TROOPS
10 Dire Avengers
8 Dire Avengers
10 Guardians
6 Rangers
*** These are very serviceable units. I field 2 units of Avengers, 2 of Storm Guardians, and 2 Guardian Jetbike squads. I have learned to respect the Rangers. What platform do you have for your Guardians, and how do you equip your DA Exarchs?
HEAVY
Falcon - shuriken cannon, bright lance
Wraithlord - wraithsword, bright lance
Wraithlord - 2 bright lances
*** As was mentioned before, duplicate weapons on the Wraithlord is a waste, as is the Brightlance on the Falcon. Stick with either a Star Cannon or a Scatter Laser. I use the Scatter Laser and a Shuricannon for the 7 Str6 shots in addition to the Pulse Laser. The Wraithlords really need a secondary 'main' weapon to be truly useful. I recommend an Eldar Missile Launcher, though many prefer Star Cannons in this role. The Wraithsword is a bit iffy to me, but it does make for a very very cool model, and that is definitely worth losing a little efficiency.
When you get the chance, try giving us a more detailed list for the army you want to field. Don't worry about your buds, as they'll most likely lose anyway, giving you more than just bragging rights. :laugh:
C&C!
