Why aren't you seeing it yet? I told you to go.
This movie is 3000 metric tons of kick ass. It's also way better than a movie about giant-robot-smash has to be. Plus Idris Elba. And directed by the Guillermo del Toro who also directed the Hellboy movies.
Go see!

In case you haven't noticed, Wave Serpents are ridiculously good.
Spaguatyrine is freaking out about them. That says a lot right there. Honestly, Krak missile and Lascannon spam is the way to go. They wreck all of Eldar's good stuff.
I tested out a 4 serpent list with a Karandras guardian blob. It worked pretty well, but it needed a little more Wave Serpent. I'm thinking of trying this out next:
Eldar 1850
Spirit Seer
5x Wraithgaurd w/ D-Scythes in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
5x Wraithgaurd in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
5x Fire Dragons in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
5x Dire Avengers in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
5x Dire Avengers in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
5x Dire Avengers in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
Fire Pirsm w/ Shuriken Cannon
Fire Pirsm w/ Shuriken Cannon
Just need to get some Wraith Guard. I'll probably try it with proxies first. Oddly enough, it's not that much different from what I was playing in 5th. Wave Serpents and Fire Prisms FTW. I think you could run a list with 9 serpents at 1850. But you're taking Banshee squads to get the extra Serpents at that point. Kind of sad really.
I've also been thinking about an Eldar/Tau hybrid:
XV-8 Commander w/ 2x Plasma Rifles, Puretide Chip, Iridium Armor
Riptide w/ Smart Missiles, Ion Accelerator, Early Warning Override
Riptide w/ Smart Missiles, Ion Accelerator, Early Warning Override
12x Firewarriors
10x Kroot w/ 1x Hound
10x Kroot w/ 1x Hound
Avatar w/ Fast Shot
5x Fire Dragons in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
5x Dire Avengers in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
5x Dire Avengers in a Wave Serpent w/ Scatter Laser and Shuriken Cannon
Wraith Knight
Normally I'm not a fan of the Wraith Knight, and I think the new Avatar is also problematic. I'm hoping this list has enough big nasties that an opponent won't be able to handle all of them.
