Greetings All,

        I have a 1000 pt tournament coming in a couple of weeks and due the the
scarcity of players in my area it is hard to find someone to playtest
armies against. So I ask for the wisdom of the great wise ones on this list.

        My first army was as follows-

HQ +25 185 (50 AF. Mv 30, charge 45
Aspect +JP,+Aslt,+Psy even bugs look twice.)
Aspect +JP,+Aslt x9

HQ +25
Aspect +JP x5 NightSpinner x5 300 (jp so they can keep up)
                                                                (suppress the bejeezus out of someone)

HQ +25 305 (trnspt for Harlies)
Vampire x3
Pheonix x2

ShadowSeer Great Harlequin 207 (cause they look so
Harlequin Squad (2) x3 darn cool. and 58 AF
Harlequin squad (2)+Solitaire x2 isnt bad either.)



        I also toyed with the idea of replacing the flyers and harlequins with a
warlock titan. It seems like this is way to fragile. Not enough units on
the board. I have not played that many games so I am unsure how this is
going to work out.
        The plan was to use the 5 NightSpinners on overwatch to place 4-5 BMs on a
unit every turn while the rest of my army manuevers to keep the other stuff
busy. When they are sufficiently covered in BMs(turn 2 I would think) I
would drop the harlequins on his rear line and charge with the aspect
detachment. after that I could use the flyers as ground attack with 24
FP!!! It still seems like to few units to me but with Eldar you are kind
of stuck with that.
        Am I better off with the orbiting harlequins or the warlock titan? Or
maybe I should just play the orks with my warlord in a great gargant(12
shields)? I would really like to play a couple of games with each to see
how they work but that is not goin to happen in the next week.

        Thanks for the time. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Even the bad
ones.
