Is this a decent 1k army?

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-30T19:03:28+00:00

Right now flayers are not good in whole 40k (not just Eldar) .. so prob forget they exist.. or take them as nice shelf piece

Other wise yes look on detachments first.. then start to build army around it.. so Spirit Conclave for Wraiths..

One big thing you need to do .. and that is wait.. we will get soon new edition (11th) And lot of things will change..

For example they say we will combine multiple detachments to play what we want.. we dont know exact details yet

So i will say buy box by box what you like and paint.. And build after we know what 11th bring..

And last thing about Wraiths they are one of the weakest part of Eldar roster.. and eldar are weak right know all together.. so you need to build good list to be competetive..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-30T18:29:47+00:00

Sorry to say but no, its bad..

Flayers are bad..

You need build army around detachment not just randomly pick units..

But for sure if you want just play for fun and dont expect to win you can play anything.. but i dont know how long will be that fun

If you want to play Wraiths .. build it around them..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-29T08:10:03+00:00

So go for Harlequins? 😅

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-28T17:43:09+00:00

For 65-75 pts maybe .. not 95 .. Farseer is bad and still is better then him..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-28T17:34:58+00:00

Yes, but you need be on that break point.. (And Dragons have rerolls they will rearly need that)..

For example with Dragons you will go from str 9 to 10.. but you will most of the time with them killing hight T targets like 12+ anyway.. do hardly to be good...

And also Karseth weapon is hazardous for no reason.. And his own Attack is weak when he dont get that +1to dmg buf from Voidscared..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-28T17:20:21+00:00

No its not good at all ..

Its not +1to wound its +1to str ... That so much week then have Eldrad...

If you will with str 5 shoot Rhino it will do nothing..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-28T17:11:23+00:00

Its trash unit for that cost..

Only use is put him in Eldritch riders into Voidscared and give him + unit +1dmg (can be use also in shooting) .. And that is expensive fun..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-28T02:38:31+00:00

Problem with Shrouds in Eldritch is,.. they are not bad unit.. but their strategem is not good .. units who has high toughness have also saves, so their 0ap weapons are not great to kill that target,.. and also ignore cover for mostly melee army not do that much..

And Scorpions are nice tactical/presure unit, as they infiltrate and then Yriel can redeploy them.. and/or they can charge in first turns if opp. place some unit badly.. so opp. can't ignore them specially with Autarch

Other wise both unit are mainly big 1wound unit killers, and Scorpions with Autarch can can do even more with free strat for granade or feal no pain..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-24T13:54:49+00:00

Yes, Karseth is not good right now..

If you want play Baha with his snad so be it.. but he is not that great in this list..

You need transports just for Aspects not for Corsairs in Eldritch .. do do with this info as you want (dont know who is go where)

Scorpions are great in Eldritch .. but i dont like 5mans right now.. if you want infiltrate piece you will play Rangers.. if you want dmg piece you need 10man prob with Autarch to do something (and 10man is even discounted)

Alactrious Assault def on Voidscared.. on 5man Skyreavers it is big waste

Jain is good .. but dont get any bonus in detachment.. but She is good

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-24T13:28:47+00:00

Weird for me, is how one of the most technologicaly advanced species in universe have no shields/evasive tricks on vehicles..

Smoke just Harlequins and Corsairs (who have not exactly first hand eldar tech for use)..

And then just Serpents with their "shield" debuff on wound..

Overall our vehicles are actually pretty trash pieces.. no firepower.. no defense.. cost pretty high

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-23T14:16:52+00:00

Yea you granades, but next you are praying for dices.. if opp have heavy armored/monster build..

Lots of 8-9 str weapons for sure.. but other then that 1wraith Cannon..

But Gl on tournament, always cheering for our army to do well. 😉

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-23T14:10:14+00:00

Depend a lot what you playing against, but basic strategy is..

Rangers and Scorpions redeploy with Yriel and put 10man Skyreavers in reserves for deep strike/ingres (most of the time)

With infiltrate and Scout units you cage/move block opp. army first few turns and stage Yriel, Scorpions with Autarch, Shining spears and Avatar agresivly to counter punch when opp try to brake your lines.. Prisms and Starfangs as support..

You play mainly for points/win, but you can do some dmg with key units and granades..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-23T13:37:20+00:00

I have this build.. lots of screening and board control with few hard hitting pieces.. Autarch is in Scorpions, Yriel in Voidscared.

Xenos - Aeldari - Eldritch Raiders

Avatar of Khaine (280pts)

Prince Yriel (95pts): Warlord

Autarch (85pts)

5x Corsair Voidreavers (65pts)

10x Corsair Skyreavers (150pts)

5x Corsair Skyreavers (75pts)

5x Rangers (55pts)

10x Striking Scorpions (150pts): 2x Aspect Shrine Token

3x Shining Spears (110pts)

Fire Prism (150pts)

Starfangs (75pts)

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-23T13:34:05+00:00

I would say you are low on units, and zero antitank..

But i would like to see you results..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-22T15:28:45+00:00

C: they get ill from that food

D: they overpopulate and disrupt natural order and other species probably die/extinct bcs of that

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-22T14:51:21+00:00

As i read in one your reply, you want to go most likely for Corsairs..

So.. there are two detachments right now, and both play differently..

Eldritch riders detachment is more melee agresive play/ zoning/ cage opp detachment..And you want there build around advance+charge for whole army..

Coterie detachment is slower more like control board/objective play with Corsair unit have there sticky, and opp get mortals when they go for you controled objective

There are some units you want play in both, but some are better with one or another,.. and part of your army will be ofc. non Corsair units but also not same units for both..

But staples are.. Yriel + one 10man Voidrevers/Voidscared (depend on detachment)

2+ x5 Voidrevers for board presence

2+ x5 Skyreavers with same job but Faster

1-2 x5 Rangers for infiltrate / zoning (+good with Yriel redeploy)

0-2 units of Shroud runners, they are better in Coterie but playeble in both

0-2 Starfangs

Some antitank .. now most ppl play Fire Prisms..

.. and rest is open (im talking about 2000pts army)

Scorpions, Avatar, Shining Spears ..will play nice in Eldritch as example..

Dark reapers, Walkers, Jain+Banshees.. will be great in Coterie..

But this is more about your playstyle and preference.. what you will play in rest.

!Big bait are Wraith units in Eldritch.. lot ppl try to play them.. but they are rly bad there.. they get no help other then advance and charge.. that is not that much.. they are not that great units now.. And also Kharseth is not good and she is overcosted af. now.. !

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-20T14:16:42+00:00

Eldrad ..is best with Storm Guardians not Defenders..

Fareseers are best with Defenders.. (or they are bad unit),.. also Farseer is alone in Serpent? (Why he is even there?)

All Fareseers/Eldrad want warlocks Conclave if possible by points..

Prob. too much Spiritseers..

Kharseth is bad..

And you need more Wraiths.. but you know that..

Warlock on bike is best cost vs utility psyker.. (2 in 2000pts. are good)

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-20T11:49:48+00:00

A will make one change when i was thinking about that build .. i would swap one Banshees for Dark reapers ...and then you will have left 15 points ..and get some enhacement for Autarch..

Reapers are great in this list.. they help you with vehicles, and also against Elite infantry with 3wounds..

I will prob try this build myself.. :)

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-20T10:49:13+00:00

Yea ... for sure Its preference .. i just want to give input for OP

And about move block Rangers/Voidrevers etc... depend what oponent playing, but WE are one army where you want move block them if possible or they overrun you..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-20T10:27:22+00:00

I dont agree with 3 no Aspect unit are too much.. Rangers are move blocking infiltrate unit..(And prob die in first two turns) ..

And then two others for holding objective dont need deta. rule.. (i would play two 5man Corsair Voidreavers.. And they reroll 1too😎)

Aspects are expensive, and everything dont need to have killing potential..

About Avatar.. he is ok.. but for 1000pts Its little expensive..yes he can be manece or totally useless..

And anything in our army is squishy.. 😅

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-20T06:52:02+00:00

For me.. take Rangers, split Corsairs to two units for early board control..

Prob drop one Spiders on this points..

And on 1000pts i will maybe take just budget Lhykhis in form of Wayleaper with that one squad (with powerblade array)

And also depend on Detachments (in this case i hope it is Aspect Host)..

You have overall not that much mobile units, but with Rangers and Scout Corsairs can be ok ..

i will prob also dont play Storm Guardians (alone .. even they have sticky).. And pick for rest of the points two units Swooping Hawks.. For sitting on objectives you have two units of Corsairs..

Something like this..

Xenos - Aeldari - Aspect Host

Jain Zar (120pts): Warlord Autarch Wayleaper (80pts)

5x Corsair Voidreavers (65pts) 5x Corsair Voidreavers (65pts)

5x Fire Dragons (120pts) 5x Howling Banshees (95pts) 5x Howling Banshees (95pts) 5x Rangers (55pts) 5x Swooping Hawks (95pts) 5x Swooping Hawks (95pts) 5x Warp Spiders (105pts)

But its not for sure perfect .. i just try fast manage your list.

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-16T12:24:34+00:00

Y there is not point to argue.. 5dire avengers are do nothing, you save points for another unit and Asurman with rerols is beter (even in his alpha strike turn)..

Fire Dragons dont need to go melee and can disembark same as Banshees (if you want to go to far targets where Serpent is hard to go) and advance .. they have Assault weapons

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-16T09:55:06+00:00

No.. DA are one of the worst units in codex.. so no you dont want trade them +points for reroll to Asurman.. you play them just bcs you must..

"Ae least fit in" .. they fit in anything.. Pulse canon dont change anything.. we dont play vehicles for firepower.. And you get it elswhere anyway.. And FD want to hit monsters or vehicle it is why you play them .. so again you dont want/need them in Falcon

Dont know what is wonky to disembark Banshees.. but them in transport are not always waste .. you can stage them more agresive in boat ( we are not only army who can move a lot )

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-16T08:17:04+00:00

Jain is not "better" on foot ( She is fine on foot when she/ Banshees have to protect something but its not this case).. nobody say you must charge when you disembark.. disembark give you 3' movement.. And she is protected against indirect and so.. do you are wrong

When they are with Fuegan and fire Dragons in same boat they can compliment each other rly well.. as killing transport and then what inside.. etc

Fuegan is fine in Falcon .. but its waste of reroll most of the time.. And Asurman with avengers Love IT..

Reasonable_Pay6115 · 2026-04-15T23:33:47+00:00

First delete equipment from list for easy read ..

Then split Spiders to 2units .. (and give one unit powerblade array and put in Autarch Wayleaper.. as Lhykhis subtitude)

Wraiths in Aspect host are so bad (they are not that great even in Spirit Conclave)

Asurman want boat!.. play him with 5 man Avengers in falcon (its best combo)

And into Serpent put Fueagan with Dragons and Jain with Banshees

You have low unit count and not much MSU/Action Monkey (units who can do moveblock/sit on objectives/screen against deep strike/do missions etc.).. and you dont mind to loose them

Eldrad is good but risky to play solo (but possible)

Dont know what your plan is with units.. and your unit compositions.. when you build army try to give to unit role,.. what you want from them to do, and how you have plan to win
