IDIC Hann Eldar List Tweaks

Nick speaking,

It's been a while since I gave an update on my current Saim Hann styled army list which has gradually been evolving as it's being painted. Looking back, the last time I posted my IDIC Hann list was a year ago, when I was just putting it together...

Here is my original list with an update on where I have gone with it...

HQ

1 x IDIC Farseer Jetbike with Spear/Doom/Fortune/Guide/Warding/Witnessing/Stones (208)

5 x IDIC Warlock Jetbikes with Spear/Destructor (290)

The Farseer has stayed the same, but I have tweaked the Warlocks a bit due to the unit running of the board once! I now have one Warlock with Embolden and a Witchblade, dropping the Spear to stay under points as I ended up two points over at the end.

TROOPS

6 x IDIC Guardian Jetbikes with 2x Shuriken Cannon (152)

6 x IDIC Guardian Jetbikes 1x Shuriken Cannon (142)

I noted in the original post that I wanted to have an extra Suriken Cannon on the Jetbikes, and I have now fitted that in. I have thought about going for three Jetbike units, but having a troops tank option seems to be a bit better, giving me protection and the ability to tank shock anyone off objectives. 

10 x IDIC Guardians with Shuriken Cannon (85)

1 x IDIC Wave Serpent with Scatter Laser/Stone/Vectored Engines/Star Engines (160)

I originally had Guardians in a Serpent, because I had my Guardians painted, but I knew It wasn't ideal and that I would eventually go with Storm Guardians instead. Although I will end up with a version of my list with a Wave Serpent, I have currently exchange the Serpent for a Falcon with five basic Dire Avengers in it. I chose the Falcon because a) It's already painted b) It's difficult to damage with the it's Holofields. I armed it with a Missile launcher and Shuriken Cannon.

FAST ATTACK

2x IDIC Vypers with Star Cannon/Shuriken Cannon (160)

2x IDIC Vypers with Star Cannon/Shuriken Cannon (160)

Star Cannons are nice but expensive, and with so many cover saves around Scatter Lasers seem to be the better option! However at the moment I am running one unit with Scatter Lasers and one with Star Cannons to mix things up a bit. The Shuriken Cannon at the front stays for sure.

HEAVY

1 x IDIC Fire Prism with Stone/Vectored Engines/Star Engines/Holofield (195)

1 x IDIC Fire Prism with Stone/Vectored Engines/Star Engines/Holofield (195)

With all the list tweaks I have now managed to fit a Shuriken Cannon on each of my Fire Prisms so that they can still shoot if the Prism Cannon gets blown off! I have also dropped the Vectored engines as I feel they are just too expensive and don't earn their points back.

My list now looks like this:

HQ

1 x IDIC Farseer Jetbike with Spear/Doom/Fortune/Guide/Warding/Witnessing/Stones (208)

4 x IDIC Warlock Jetbikes with Spear/Destructor (232)

1 x IDIC Warlock Jetbike with Witchblade/Embolden (50)

TROOPS

6 x IDIC Guardian Jetbikes with 2x Shuriken Cannon (152)

6 x IDIC Guardian Jetbikes with 2x Shuriken Cannon (152)

5 x IDIC Dire Avengers (60)

1 x IDIC Falcon with Missile Launcher/Shur Cannon/Stone/Vectored Engines/Star Engines/Holofield (225)

FAST ATTACK

2x IDIC Vypers with Star Cannon/Shuriken Cannon (160)

2x IDIC Vypers with Scatter Lasers/Shuriken Cannon (140)

HEAVY

1 x IDIC Fire Prism with Shur Cannon/Stone/Star Engines/Holofield (185)

1 x IDIC Fire Prism with Shur Cannon/Stone/Star Engines/Holofield (185)

1749 points

Just the Seer Council and Dire Avengers to paint before this list is totally painted and I can get to work on my Night Spinner turrets!
