I can't comment much on Eldar, as I haven't sat down with the new rule book.

However, I hope Fire Prisms have better luck in your gaming place than they did at the Memphis Battle Bunker. I don't think there was a single vehicle that had a worse shooting record in all of GWs line than that thing.

However, I can comment on this, if it's still allowed. Guide (Farseer ability to allow re-rolls to hit, I think) has proven to be invaluable when you absolutely, positively HAVE to blow something up. I'm assuming it's still in there, and if it is, it may be worth squeezing in.

Prisms now have BS4, and when taking two of them, you can combine fire to strengthen and twin-link the prism cannons (either S10 AP1 Blast, or S6 AP3 Large Blast). Also, didn't have the points for guide. The Farseer is mainly along to Doom the squads that the Bladestorming Dire Av... I mena "Black Guardians" are shooting up.

Ah, well, I mean even for a BS 3, it was horrible. It was just cursed. :D

I didn't know about the twin linking, and I have no idea what Doom does.

Doom - Pick an enemy squad within 24" of the Psyker. If the psychic test is successful, all failed To Wound rolls against that squad may be rerolled until the start of the Psyker's next turn.

Sweet mother of all that is holy and good...

That's disgusting.

I love it.

[quoniam23.livejournal.com]

Combine that with the Dire... I mean "Black Guardians" bladestorming. Each squad would then get 27 BS4 and 5 BS5 S4 AP5 shots, on the move, that reroll failed wounds. Essentially, whichever squad I want is dead. D-E-D Dead.

Your List

[(Anonymous)]

Try Holo Fields & Spirit Stones on your Vypers- they will never go down. Drop the Autarch if you need the points. Check out a few of my battle reports at http://saimhann.blogspot.com/ to see what I am talking about with the Vypers. Other then that I think your list is pretty solid- lots of troops to dish it out and take back fire- if you can get them all into cover even better.
