Yeah, I didn't realize just how cheap you could get a War Walker. I think in larger games, that whole AV10 thing is just a great way for them to turn into flaming wreckage, and then they need the Scatter Lasers to stay at range for what little good it does 'em. But the cannons are just 5 points...

Problem is still that AV10 is vulnerable to small arms fire. Among the safest places it might be is in assault, where some piddly S3 folks arent' going to hurt it...and it gets one S5-6 swipe a turn. Anyone that brought an anti-carni gun can still nail the Warwalker, I think.

Nice work, and some nice ides...

Though it still stymies me that you can get a warwalker with two shuriken cannon for only 40 points!

Sisters of Battle Squad:

Sister Superior w/ Eviscerator 50
7 Battle Sisters
-5 w/ Bolters, 1 w/ heavy flamer, 1 w/ meltagun

Total: 149
You have an anti-tank shot, you have a burnination device, and you have a sarge-like special character. The squad is pretty durable with power armor, and it's got a weapon-mix. Call it a basic purgation squad.

Eldar Guardian Task Force
War Walker w/ 2 Shuriken Cannons 40pts
Eldar Guardian Squad w/ Warlock, Shuriken Cannon Platform 110pts

I think it's pretty representative of a small Eldar force; it's got a decent amount of S6 dakka, but still needs cover. In CC, the Warlock at least gives you a chance against that wandering Carnifex.

Eldar Saim-Hann Scouting Party
Eldar Jetbike Squad
4 Eldar Jet Bikes, 1 w/ Shuriken Cannon
1 Warlock on Jetbike w/ Embolden

They're emblematic of their fluff: small, mobile, and they've even got A big gun. In case of CC, apply Warlock. Or, you could go for 6 with a single Shuriken Cannon, and some leftover points.

a bare minimum pagk squad 4 grey knights and a justicar.bang on 150 and the nemesis weapons should deal nicely with any light tanks and look cool
