Dire Avengers

First up are the Dire Avengers. I drew inspiration heavily from the kill team of eldar in the 4th edition rules, and I wanted a real dynamism to them. They've got a few swords to add flavour, I kit bashed them with high elf archers and guardians, I think there is a falcon pilot in there too. There is a vague underwater theme to my colour scheme going on, which will tye into their fleet name, when I can think of a good one..

Hi there this is gonna be a blog where I'll show my progress in trying to collect an eldar pirate force for 40K. Why pirates? Well I got a bit railroaded into collecting the pointy ears and I wanted to do something a bit different, I wanted jetbikes but saim hann seemed too obvious and pirates seemed a natural candidate for a jetbike army.

I've worked up a 2000pt list as follows:
HQ
Farseer on jetbike, spirit stones, fortune, guide
Farseer Guide

Troops
10 dire Avenges inc. Exarch 2 catapults, Defend
in wave Serpent bright lance
12 Guardian jetbikes with 4 shuriken cannon

Elites
6 Harlequins Troupe Master power weapon, 5 Kisses
5 Fire Dragons

Fast Attack
3 Vypers with 3 scatter laser 2 shuriken cannon
5 Shining Spears inc. Exarch withdraw

Heavy Support
3 War Walkers with 6 scatter laser
Falcon with scatter laser, shuriken cannon and holofields
Falcon with scatter laser, shuriken cannon and holofields

I'll be updating with pics of the army as it develops!
