The Guardians hold the home objective, plus being able wander forwards with the platform. I'm thinking that if 6th turns out the way I think I will, then I'm going to need snipers. Lots of Rangers. Would I buy a bastion for a silly cover save? Maybe. Maybe. I might even make a bastion with a similar footprint to look like Eldar Webway Portals.
So, What do people think? Will this list work at 500 points? Should I just take space marines to learn the new edition?

Something New Today
My New Project.
Sooooooo. In case you have been living in a fantasy shaped (or LOTR shaped – lol as if) hole for the last 2 years, you will be aware that 6th edition us upon us this weekend. To celebrate, my local store is opening at midnight, and running a tourney from next week.
Here is one of my army lists
Farseer, Runes of Warding, Spirit Stones, Guide, Doom. 135 Points
Dire Avengers (6) Exarch With Bladestorm, Wave Serpent – Shuriken Cannons 199 Points
Guardians (10) Shuriken Cannon 85 Points
Fire Dragons (5) 80 Points
499 Points
So, Eldar? Oooo Scary. I fancy a change, and have been playing High Elves. I'm thinking I might try this list, see how it plays. The Dire Avengers drive by with Farseer to guide/doom combo to hopefully maul of a unit in one turn with Bladestorm. I think I would fall down against horde armies, and maybe box armies. The problem is that I only have short range anti tank. Also, Runes Of warding (take psychic tests on 3D6) I'm hoping will be very broken in this edition!

You'll Certainly get a lot of overwatch shots with shurriken. I wonder if bladestorm is compatible? Might be tempted to take a cheaper power than Doom for the farseer and exchange both for the new cards.

I guess you probly could overwatch/Bladestorm... that would be nice :)yeah i havent looked at the new cards to much in relation to eldar, and because you pick them randomly, im not overly keen i dont think?
