Okay so according to the Games Workshop FAQ, Autarch +1 to reserve rolls is a may ability. Yes that means you get to come in on turn two with a 2+, and yes that means 1/3 of the time you will get to choose weather or not you come in.
YOU START ENTIRE ARMY IN RESERVE!! Starting those poor wave serpents on the board to run around and be the only target is just a mistake. Only way you would do this is if your against a heavy CC army, and need to take some shots before they get close. Against any army with remote amounts of shots, start nothing or everything in reserve. Since we all love our swooping hawks so much, everything is starting in reserve. Another viable option if you get first turn is to start your fire dragons on the board, this will be explained later.
So Autarchs come raging in with the fellow birdies on turn 2, throwing down a grenade pack anywhere on the map, shoots something, avoids getting assaulted with their 12" move, then says latta and repeats. Yes I know swooping hawks are bad, but maybe not if your getting them in on 2+'s the entire game. AS WELL AS ONE OF THEM BEING THE AUTARCH WITH FUSION GUN. Yeah, a one man tank killer, pretty good.
Okay but really, You use your fire dragons to pop vehicles with cargo. Obviously the grenade pack isn't very good against vehicles, so we need some flesh to blow up, because unfortunately S4 against AV12 just doesn't do anything. Then you have the choice of either leaping out for another blast if you cant get them far enough away (due to bad deviation of course, not inferior playing ability) , or you can mop up the rest of a unit with a nice array of assault 2 shots with deacent stats. Remember, we are Eldar, we are like the Orcs of shooting (not really but yeah, we actually win games).
Okay war walker squadron, what better way to abuse a 2+ infiltrate move then with 6 blast templates, or with 24 S6 AP6 36' range shots. Eat that back/side of tanks.
Okay honestly I would never spend money on swooping hawks, and haven't made this army myself, but I think it would be fun, and the only viable way to play them. Comments are always appreciated, as long as its constructive criticism, and not just rage. This is my first list post (first post actually), and I hope you all appreciate it
