Doesn't an allied detachment have to be a different faction from your primary detachment (the primary is the one with your warlord in)? So you'll have to use a CAD with two troops choices?
Other than that it looks a good list. Lots of mobility and firepower.
RE: New Eldar list - 1850 - Embolden - 26-07-2015
Will, I'm sure you can take a Formation and Allied detachment together. Don't have the cally rulespack on me at present.
RE: New Eldar list - 1850 - will - 26-07-2015
Yeah you can Rob. I'm talking about the restrictions in the rulebook for using an allied detachment. Rather than explain here's a pic as I'm lazy
[attachment=1823]
Last paragraph in restrictions. Unless you can get an allied detachment with different rules from somewhere?
RE: New Eldar list - 1850 - jjakaalbinoboy - 26-07-2015
Ah....that sucks.
RE: New Eldar list - 1850 - Nick1988 - 26-07-2015
There is a way of doing it but it may be cad
all the flying circus lists are nid/nid formation
RE: New Eldar list - 1850 - jjakaalbinoboy - 26-07-2015
Thought of another option
Craftworld Warhost Detachment [Primary Detachment]:
Guardian Battlehost:
Farseer - 100
10 Guardians - (free weapon [Eldar Missilie Launcher]) - 90
10 Guardians - (free weapon [Eldar Missilie Launcher]) - 90
10 Guardians - (free weapon [Eldar Missilie Launcher]) - 90
1 War Walker - 2 Scatter Lasers - 60
1 Vyper - 2 Shuriken Cannons - 50
1 D-Cannon - 55
Heroes of the Craftworld:
Autarch: Fusion - 80
Engines of Vaul:
3 Falcons - 3 Pulse Lasers, 3 Scatter Lasers, 3 Shuriken Cannons - 405
Aspect Host:
5 Fire Dragons - Exarch - 120
5 Fire Dragons - Exarch - 120
5 Fire Dragons - Exarch - 120
Crimson Death:
Crimson Hunter Exarch 160
2 Crimson Hunters - 280
Total 1820pts.
I'd lose my Hornets and the 2nd Farseer but the planes would be pretty tasty.
RE: New Eldar list - 1850 - jjakaalbinoboy - 27-09-2015
Had a new idea for a list I'm going to test out.
Warhost Detachment:

10 Guardians - (free weapon [Eldar Missilie Launcher]) - 90

10 Guardians - (free weapon [Eldar Missilie Launcher]) - 90
3 War Walker - 6 Scatter Lasers - 180
3 Vyper - 3 Shuriken Cannons, 3 Scatter Lasers - 180
3 D-Cannon - 165
Heroes of the Craftworld:
Autarch - Fusion Gun - 80
Engines of Vaul:
3 Falcons - 3 Shuriken Cannons, 3 Scatter Lasers, 3 Pulse Lasers - 405
Aspect Host:
5 Fire Dragons - Exarch - 120
5 Fire Dragons - Exarch - 120
5 Fire Dragons - Exarch - 120
Fortifications:
Aegis Defence Line - Icarus Lascannon - 85
Comes to 1840pts.

You are remarkably light on transports there JJ. But 3 squads of firedragons will make any armour cry. Looks very nice and well balanced.

Yeah I know, I'd need to find 375 points for 3 Wave Serpents for the guardians though. I'm going for a kind of "hammer and anvil" with this though.
