500 point starter army

[Warmasterwillie]

Hi guys,

 

Decided after 15 years of collecting marines to dip my toe into the world of Eldar. Going for a cheap use (mostly) what I’ve got lieing around in boxes army. Thought a small 500 point force would be a good place to start as I go way over board on painting and then loose motivation.

 

After playing around a fair bit I decide on the following list and would appreciate some more seasoned advice.

 

 

 

Battalion Detachment +5CP (Aeldari - Craftworlds) [29 PL, 500pts]

 

Craftworld Attribute:

Alaitoc: Fieldcraft

 

HQ

 

Farseer [6 PL, 110pts]:

1. Guide, 4: Fate's Messenger, 6. Mind War, Craftworlds Warlord, Shuriken Pistol, Witchblade

. Shiftshroud of Alanssair

 

Warlock [2 PL, 55pts]:

5. Quicken/Restrain, Shuriken Pistol, Witchblade

 

Troops

 

Dire Avengers [3 PL, 55pts]

. 5x Dire Avenger: 5x Avenger Shuriken Catapult

 

Guardian Defenders [5 PL, 80pts]: 10x Guardian Defender

 

Guardian Defenders [5 PL, 80pts]10x Guardian Defender

 

Heavy Support

 

War Walkers [8 PL, 120pts]

. War Walker: Scatter Laser, Starcannon

. War Walker: Scatter Laser, Starcannon

 

Total: [29 PL, 500pts]

 

It’s a fairly squishy list, doubt it would do very well against guard, but it’s a start. My major problem is weather to do a shuffle and try and use snipers instead of dire avengers.

 

Let me know what you think
