Eldar Fault-Finding

Hey everybody, this is the 50th post! Unbelievable.

Here are some stats:

• 2,340 Pageviews
• 14 Followers
• Views from dozens of countries, in order, UK, USA, Canada, Finland, Australia, France, Ireland, Germany, Ukraine, South Korea, etc, etc.....

Anyway, after much thinking, muling over, the 2 games on Monday and 2 games against myself I have found a few faults in my current Eldar list. First the faults then the possible solutions.

• Firstly, the Nightspinner, though fun, does nothing, literally nothing, so it has to go.
• Next, I don't have enough anti-tank ability, ranged or combat, so this has to be addressed. The Fire Prisms are only one shot and usually better served taking out infantry. I only have 2 Witchblades which against fast targets are very ineffective.
• The Farseer and Fire Prisms are too expensive for what they do. So I can get some more points by cutting them to size.

Now the solutions:

• To solve the anti-tank here come the Fire Dragons, in a Wave Serpent. They will definitely help and in the games against my Nids they mowed down Hive Tyrants and Raveners (doubling them out).
• I'm taking Eldritch Storm and Guide off of the Farseer to get points, plus I rarely use them.
• Also the Fire Prisms only have Holo-Fields as they want to be shooting not moving crazy fast.  

So here's a revised list taking all of this into account:
