Tau/Eldar 1500 Army List

Hey all!
Here's my take on the new Codex: Tau Empire. I utilize the ability to put out extreme fire power and some of the more unique combinations of upgrades with the Commander XV8-05 Suits. The goal is to utilize the immense close range fire output and synergy of the tau.

The Eldar detachment serves to further 'upgrade' the fire power of the Tau, allowing for greater ranged vollies of high strength fire so my more devastating unites such as the commander Shadowblight bomb can get up close and wipe entire units. Moonblight and the plasma units will work in tandem with Shadowblight to over power specific units, and the fire warriors will support and clean up the mess, as well as initiate other engagements so as to lessen the pressure on the forward ranks. The jetbikes will protect the farseer - who in turn guides his War Walkers. Stealth Teams enhance the Jump Shoot Jump strategy and the 18" death zone of the army as a whole. As well as, with their durability, providing a final reserve late in the game of fire power that could make the difference between holding or contesting an objective.

I've already won my first game with a 1000 point strictly Tau rendition of this army. Ultimately I plan on entering tournaments. Expect pictures of the paint schemes soon!

1000 Point Eldar/Tau List

Here will be listed my 1000 point Eldar - Tau army.

For 6th edition, my goal is to run an infantry army with the focus of manipulating range and maintaining ranged superiority.

To achieve those two goals (manipulating and maintaining) I have devised a list that allows me flexibility as well as a range gradient.

Let the Worlds Drown! Beginnings of an Eldar Army

Long time since I've posted. School has really picked up, and mid-terms just around the corner (less than two weeks, yikes!).
I've decided on creating a 1500 point Eldar army, to carry my infantry-insanity across a new spectrum of the 40k universe. As I've got Space Marine infantry, Imperial Guard infantry, and Tau infantry armies built (but not completed) I've wanted something new, something fresh. So, I went to one of the oldest books (the irony is blatant, isn't it?).
