Email in: 1750 Eldar Tournament Tuning Part II

"So...last minute rules changing. Each vehicle = 1 KP (in Squadron to...) So waaaayyyy to much KP in my army!

There is no need to discuss the Tournament rules. I do not agree with this particular rulling...but that is OK.

So... I drop Doomseer and Autarch for the mighty Eldrad. I admit...he rocks! SW are an issue...but with 3 Powers...some one wil give away!

Taking into account your suggestions, this is the look of the final list:

1 Eldrad Ulthran (HQ) @ 210 Pts

5 Fire Dragons (Elites) @ 190 Pts
Wave Serpent, Linked Shuriken Cannon, Spirit Stones
5 Fire Dragons (Elites) @ 190 Pts
Wave Serpent, Linked Shuriken Cannon, Spirit Stones

5 Dire Avengers (Troops) @ 205 Pts
Wave Serpent, Shuriken Cannon Upgrade; Linked Bright Lances
5 Dire Avengers (Troops) @ 205 Pts
Wave Serpent, Shuriken Cannon Upgrade; Linked Bright Lances
5 Dire Avengers (Troops) @ 60 Pts

2 Vyper (Fast Attack) @ 140 Pts
Shuriken Cannon Upgrade (x2); Scatter Laser (x2)
2 Vyper (Fast Attack) @ 140 Pts
Shuriken Cannon Upgrade (x2); Scatter Laser (x2)

1 Fire Prism (Heavy Support) @ 115 Pts
1 Fire Prism (Heavy Support) @ 115 Pts
1 Falcon (Heavy Support) @ 175 Pts
Shuriken Cannon Upgrade; Scatter Laser
Holo-fields

I believe that SS in the Dragon Wagon is essencial!...

Other thing that I'm considering (...since I dont have all the bits for a chin monted Shuriken Cannon) is "upgrading" one Dire Avengers squad for a10xStorm Guardians with 2xFlamer and drop the Cannons on 2 Waves and Falcon. Thougths on that?

Thanks,
Luís"

Here's the original email in question by Luis and I hope I've posted this in time before your tournament. I'll say it again but if you have a deadline please let me know in the subject or first line of the email. The majority of the time I just skim emails when they come in to check if I can send back an immediate reply if needed or if there's a deadline. If it's not there it gets in line and atm I've got 20 e-mails after this which need to be answered (I'm flattered you all value my opinion so much!) which could delay your e-mail until after the tournament.

Anyway, the list is solid but I'd make one change. Change the Vypers to 2x Shuriken Cannon (rather than SL/SC) and add underslung cannons to the Dragon Serpents and Fire Prisms. You end up gaining 8 S6 shots at the cost of some range which is fine. I wouldn't change in for the Guardians and think the list with the above change is all good even with the very strange KP rule.
