Broadside Bash!

Well, it is time to get ready for the Broadside Bash. It will be my first chance to try to qualify for Vegas. I do not like my chances though with soft scores for Comp and Sportsmanship. I will bring a comp-friendly list and you will see how I will get killed on comp.

I thought about not posting my list, but what the heck, I will put it out there.

Here it is, 2000 points of Eldar:

Since it is a comp tournament I am dropping Eldrad to try to be a bit more comp friendly.

I got the idea for this army after I played in the Wild West Shootout. I was messaging Darth Diggler who is a very good player from the Chicago area who I played a couple of years ago at the 'Ard Boyz finals in Baltimore. He was telling me that he was running a list like mine, so I added some of the elements that he was using, and then putting my own twist on it.

If you remember my WWSO list, I added a Falcon and some Fire Dragons for added anti-tank to go with the Guardian's Brightlances. In this list I added the Wraithlords in the anti-tank role. Since they take up the heavy support slots that I was using for the massed War Walkers I added the Warp Spiders to make up for some of the lost firepower.

I first used the Warp Spiders in last year's 'Ard Boyz http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/250049.page. I really like the way they worked. They have a lot of mobility and are able to get into combat when you need it and they can put down a ton of strength 6 shooting at BS 4. There are some downsides to them though, and that has to do with their 12" range for shooting.
