Too big. Don't forget you only have 5 main force slots and 5 s=
upport
slots in Eldar detachments. If you want to transport all 10 guardia=
ns,
you have to use your support slots to take another 5 falcons, thus
obvi=
ating the possibility of using the fire prisms or support
platforms. Perso=
nally, I really like the 10 guardians/10 falcons
detachments and have found=
them quite handy using a firefight then
overwatch strategy. Put the fire =
prisms in a separate detachment, put
the support platforms in a detachment =
with the Dark Reapers and load 'em
in a wave serpent.
How would this be to=
o big? If each UNIT is upgraded to included falcons?

First off, you don't =

What about transport for these guys? I generally keep the ass=

aspects in one detachment. If they have jump packs, let 'em go it

Too many - See above. As far as =

some falcons in their own detachment an=

Interesting detachment. Very mixed - I'd hav=

This should tear a few things apart.

I would make at least one of y=

That way you can choose where your =

apply. Making both move at infantry speed=

IMHO.

You can alway=

Alw=

Oops, I =
should have read 'til the end - sorry! Do you have wave

mount 'em in those. Wave Serpents are the ideal

Sorry, but if you feel like driving to New Jersey, let me know.
