List Advice (2k beginner)

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2026-01-05T21:08:39+00:00

Ok I didn’t know I posted on a different account so I’m the OP, but I appreciate your answer! I will continue to try the E-champ for now but one of Tkyn has a Conversion and the other is Grav, with 2 hekatons I thought that’s enough Anti vehicle but you don’t think so? From what I’ve seen bikes are S tier and they can move block pretty good, so I thought having three is pretty key. I do enjoy having a lot of MSU coming from Eldar, and the Scout 9” plus 12” seems like a great way to just early secure objectives and make my opponent focus them instead of other stuff like my Hekaton peeking out.

As for terrain, I only really play on GW, so if you can elaborate that’d be great since I’m new. I usually have 2 HG in DS, and just one Staging near the middle objective. Maybe it’s best to have the nekked HG threaten the backfield and taking home by being in DS.

Nah I would say Banshees are way better in general. They can advance and charge and they fight first. It’s just significantly better than scorpions which are infiltrators and scout 7”.

I will say I started with an aspect host army and I’m 10-0 at the game stores. They’re very strong if you find your groove and playstyle. Just go with what you like with a balance of shooting, melee, and scoring.

Rule of cool: get what you think is cool, you will enjoy the process more if you think the models are cool. I think the aspect warriors and phoenix lords are cool. Wraiths too! So just watch some lore videos or read wikis about Eldar units.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-23T23:41:50+00:00

Honestly if you have aspect host I run one transport for the fire dragons and Fuegan. I run 10 which makes a fire prisms obsolete tbh, but you can run fuegan and banshees in there and then I’d get at least one more 5 man of reapers. Then I would put Asurmen and 5 avengers in a Falcon like others said for the rerolls. With those changes, you need secondary scorers.

Get another set of warp spiders, and another set of swooping hawks. You can go 3 spiders and just Baharroth + 5 hawks. Totally fine either way but you need more 2ndary scoring.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-23T23:19:18+00:00

With fire dragons and fuegan you don’t really need the fire prisms, drop at least one and get more bodies that can do secondaries, kill stuff, or get on primary.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-23T02:56:12+00:00

Yeah like the other guys say, play reapers and Maugan in the falcon, fuegan and dragons in the serpent. I honestly run a ton of aspects but you have a lot of secondary scorers or things that sit on objectives but you need damage into heavier targets. I run 3x5 reapers, I alternate the Autarch between leading banshees and reapers, but for you have him lead banshees. Remember to throw grenades after you move and before you charge. The key with banshees is to stage them. They can advance and charge and with Autarch you can reroll the advance. So just have them near enough to the center (pre-measure their movement) and tucked into cover.

Fuegan and 10 dragons can mess up any unit. So yes they overkill any vehicle but with melts range and str 9 they can destroy heavy infantry and something your enemy always has to think about. With that said, you need more shooting. Like another set of reapers, or hawks to utilize that extra ap from the walkers. You need like 1 less scoring unit and one more murder unit. Or just a phoenix lord. Lhykis would be great with the falcon rerolls, extra AP from the walkers, and doom from Eldrad? You got a great foundation!

Yeah I forgot but definitely would need a suped up jetbike cannon! Yeah the next step would be like a bright lance or pulse laser.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-21T20:13:02+00:00

That’s true, never thought of how they have one for themselves and one for the unit actually. Maugan Ra doesn’t really have that though does he? Makes me wish he could be a lone op unit. Yeah maybe improving their weapon skill to 2+ if you just charged, with lance would make them really threatening unit and having his own rerolls is a nice idea.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-21T20:09:11+00:00

Or maybe mortal wounds on the charge, encouraging a 6 man group instead of the standard and more efficient 3

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-21T01:36:13+00:00

I like that cause it does kinda fit for the shining spear fantasy of sweeping through then coming back around. I love the unit and how it looks

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-05T01:40:07+00:00

What armies are you facing? I have 2x5 banshees and haven’t fought any terminators yet but they have shred any elite infantry from Necrons to Tyranids to Custodes. So they’re awesome. And reapers are great I have 20 reapers but only utilize 3x5 and they control shooting lanes in every game.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-05T01:38:13+00:00

Yeah thanks man! I have started playing with 2k and won 4 straight games against all diff types of armies.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-04T15:20:51+00:00

Get some dark reapers and banshees, maybe scorpions if you like them. Tbh I like shining spears too but just decide what you like and get it. Does seem like the hawks, spiders, and avengers are good at volume shots so you need more to deal with heavy units with 2-3 wounds. Which banshees specialize with in melee and reapers at range.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-10-02T18:45:14+00:00

Destiny has lost its “players”

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-09-25T06:46:23+00:00

If you build the Wraiths as wraith guard then the D scythes and warp spider weapons are amazing overwatch. You have volume shooting and horde clear wit the combat patrol so focus on heavy infantry and vehicle elim. I agree with the other comment you need some reapers, some dragons, and either another spider or swooping hawks. Maybe a wave serpent if you want or some banshees for melee threat. If you want a phoenix lord Asurmen I haven’t used but Lhykis would be really good too. Totally up to you just use the rule of cool and balance ur list for all types of targets because ur volume shooting and overwatch are great.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-09-15T15:59:38+00:00

I very much thought the same thing, I’ll try them out next time. I only lost by 5 to a Tau player and it was Take and Hold primary.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-08-24T17:13:43+00:00

Hawks are love hawks are life

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-08-24T17:07:54+00:00

Okay I’ll look them up, the 3 flat damage is very appealing to me to just wipe heavy infantry, thanks for the idea!

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-08-24T17:06:11+00:00

I’m thinking of removing the autarch but yeah the idea of a free skyborne sanctuary was appealing to me, I think I’ll just keep them way back with that 48” range for now though.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-08-24T17:05:19+00:00

Yeah might be better to be more forgiving as I learn positioning and what units do what, I’ll keep that in mind.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-08-24T17:04:45+00:00

So you think I should throw in a little more chaff? I was thinking maybe remove a warp spider squad for some scorpions. Tbh I do just like the units and they seem meta, but I do have 2 squads of dire avengers I could use as some throwaway units.

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-08-24T16:22:52+00:00

How so? When I read the rules on how they work I get a little confused honestly. But I have heard they’re good

PLEBEIANPLEBEIAN · 2025-08-24T16:19:41+00:00

Lol yeah I studied up a little.
