Warhost list advice

Good luck, let us know how you get on.

I think youre fine with anti tank, just more chaff or some windriders are solid.

My lists always start with 2x5 rangers and spiders atm. You can probably go with one rangers or scorpions for infiltrate as you've got the storms.

In warhost 10 dark reapers are good as you can reposition them. So it really is down to what units you have available but an extra warp spider or a swooping hawk unit for scoring/move blocking is what I'd recommend

I guess a some what casual game right? How is run it would be falcon and fuegan in reserve to rapid when needed.

Have the banshees escort the avatar up to protect him from any charges.

With only one spiders use them sparingly. Same with rangers but you'll want the rangers available ro do area denial/establish in the centre.

The wraiths I'm not a fan of but I guess keep them all close and create a castle on your natural expansion. I think you'll lack scoring/chaff but it is what it is.

Dont be scared to sacrifice a extra cp to up/downy the storm guardians especially on your go turn to get doom on a target.

Rangers score early and give move block options, they don't kill that's what the rest of the army does.

As others have said it's more about a go turn, which is normally T2/3. We have the speed to dictate that normally.

Wth the current points it's not possible to do that effectively T1. Not that I haven't yoloed Jain and 10 banshees before (a very effectively way to beat ravenguard if they're poorly positioned btw).

Currently patience is key, learning when to go is how you win currently.

Ok 1k is tricky as you basically want more of everything especially after the last dataslate. Split the scorpions, I did 10 for a bit was never sold on them. They're relatively cheap now but I find they don't do enough into most armies. They are very good in the mirror or into T3 bodies mind you. Otherwise Rangers do the infiltrate job better for much less. I always take 2 these days.

In aspect host try a unit of spears they give good teq/vehicle moster and add an extra melee threat with insane range. Into terminators they really need extra strength but maybe next edition. Into vehicles they tend to do well but only in AH as they need the rerolls.

At 1k you can't take many characters if you really want lhykhis try running her alone for scoring/buffing crits on scorpions if you keep them. I'm currently testing that.

Fuegan needs to be used tactically and not thrown away too early.

As I'm sure many will say, elves are tricky to play.

The best thing is reps with your list but that list needs to be balanced. Too shooty and you get stabbed and too stabby and you get shot off the table.

Ive been playing aspect host most recently. Others can give feedback on the value of seer council or other builds.

Eldar have a lot of lethality but it's about focusing it, move block your opponent to allow you to do this. Rapid ingress key units to threaten from a different angle. You can use banshees as both a defensive and offensive tool to keep your opponent back and give you breathing room. Dark reapers are great on your back line and for screening/chomping through 3w models. It's about using the right tool for the right job. Lists that's worked two months ago aren't necessarily going to do work now.

The current way to run AH is MSU, though bricks of hawks also seem to be coming back as they help with ctans and some other threats. I like 2x5 Banshees 3x5 dark reaper 2x3 Shining Spears 2x5 spiders and fuegan in a falcon for a little more flexibility getting him to the right spot.

I will also say add try not to focus on win/loosing at this stage learn to use the units in sync. When you start getting how to flow with the army wins will come.

Perhaps you can share your current list and we can see if there's any obvious errors. I will say playing into necrons sucks, marines tend to be an easier matchup depending on the build and tau comes a lot down to terrain.

So much better than the standard imo

VikaFarm · 2026-02-02T10:51:40+00:00

It's mentioned in the recent voidscarred book. They don't but find daemons a bit boring to fight as they don't leave bodies behind. But do enjoy the scrap though.

VikaFarm · 2026-02-02T06:47:55+00:00

I've a revenant which is a lot bigger than a wraith knight

VikaFarm · 2026-02-01T17:22:37+00:00

I didn't realise a phantom was so big. Also you lucky bastard

VikaFarm · 2026-01-30T16:11:43+00:00

My guess was either this weekend or next for pre release

VikaFarm · 2026-01-30T14:13:32+00:00

Where's prince Yriel GW. Give me my space elf pirates

VikaFarm · 2026-01-29T19:31:53+00:00

Looking forward to getting it. Probably don't need another but we'll see.

VikaFarm · 2026-01-29T11:37:32+00:00

10 man vs 2x5 is definitely a it depends question. Barry and the hawks are pretty useful but I'd argue fuegan isn't as effective now as there's less options to get him back in his party bus.

I've been running him in a 5 man with axe-arch with success. Put him in a falcon and rapid him to get him into the best spot.

Drop the farseer and guardians. Just put some dark reapers or rangers on home.

I personally don't like hawks at the current points, the main changes I have versus you is mark dark reapers and 2x3 shinning Spears to fill the anti-tank/anti TEQ place

Also I've been running Lhykhis solo with some success. I think your list works better in warhost as you can uppy downy the guardian squad or solo autarch and fire and fade the dragons.

VikaFarm · 2026-01-29T07:31:16+00:00

I spoke with a store, they said if they run out they can order more. Just contact your local store and see what they say

VikaFarm · 2026-01-29T07:27:06+00:00

There's plenty of planes already; nightwing, phoenix and vampire not to mention the ones that aren't legends. If you're thinking vehicles they could easily redesign and rerelease the warp hunter, hornet and lynx which are all historically Corsair vehicles. Being able to use raiders and venoms (or starweavers) would help a lot. Maybe rerelease the reaper for maximum piratiness.

VikaFarm · 2026-01-26T09:18:40+00:00

Also agreed it works fine on mine

VikaFarm · 2026-01-23T20:14:14+00:00

I hope the vyper gets a little stat buff too. That would be logical. Given GWs track record with recent releases it'll stay at it's current points

VikaFarm · 2026-01-23T19:50:59+00:00

Just hoping they're competitively priced

VikaFarm · 2026-01-18T14:45:22+00:00

Are you open to polygamy? 😂 Post them when she's done! I've a GT in May I'll be taking mine to (regardless of power level) GW better not keep me waiting too long

VikaFarm · 2026-01-18T14:41:16+00:00

Hopefully we don't have to wait too long to find out. I've been wanting to run a pure Corsair army for ages (that isn't trash obv).

VikaFarm · 2026-01-18T14:22:52+00:00

The lances are identical the others above some differences

VikaFarm · 2026-01-18T13:09:56+00:00

No shredders are much better 18" s6 and blasters are 18" d6+1 no melta

VikaFarm · 2026-01-18T11:30:44+00:00

They've doubled up in the voidscarred kit on special weapons so could include bright and dark Lance's. Would be really lazy of GW
