2000pt Eldar Ulthwe "fluffy"

[Deacon Ix]

Was having quite a difficult time coming up with an Eldar list as everything is just so good, so I decided to make my army based on the fluff. Ulthwe doesn't have many Aspect Warriors generally, but does attract Dark Reapers, so most of it's force is made up of the Black Guardians. It also has the largest amount of Psykers.

So where I could afford it I included a warlock leader, the D weapon support platforms are something that might go but the idea is area denial, they can sit in cover and an opponent would be fairly wary of coming within 24" of them.

I was originally going to have storm guardians but with the FAQ not giving a second attack for a pistol weapon they seem fairly pointless.

The allied detachment of Jet Bikes are for objective taking and with scatter lasers they can kite really nicely.

I have called this list "Fluffy" and I think it is but it does get 21+D6 psykic points a phase and scatter lasers are the current cheese but I'm not creating a list to loose! Basically everything Eldar have is awesome but I wanted something a bit more fun than the normal meta.

I think it would be very out of the ordinary to see 30+ guardians on the table... I would rather have two Reaper Squads of 5 than 3 of 3. You could add some Dire Avengers or Another aspect for the Aspect Host. I say drop the allied contingent and bring a Wraithknight. You have no assault or super-heavy deterrent.
