    What Weapons should i put on my eldar stuff?

    Hello, So i am starting a Siam-Hann Eldar army. I recently purchased the battle pack (Guardians, a couple dire avengers, wave serpent, and war walker) I also have an Autarch. What weapons should I put on the wave serpent and walker? also, do you recommend the reaper launcher or the Shurkein shooter for the autarch? I intend to use the scout rule with the walker so what do you suggest? also, is it a good idea to put bright lances on a wave serpent?

    Also i noticed that you can get twin linked weapons. So say if i had two Bright lances on my Wave serpent, would the mean i have 2 twin linked bright lances? or just one twin linked bright lance?

    Thanks Tristan P.

    Definitely NOT the Reaper Launcher on the Exarch, unless he's on a Jetbike, then maybe.

    Rest of the army composition = helps decide what weapons to give the Walker/Serpent

    You have the Eldar Codex? Explains what the Wave Serpent gets as options. Ditto Walker

    “A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.” - General George S. Patton

    best advice with weapon selections for eldar vehicles is to magnetize them or even just pin them so you can swap the weapons (even the weapons on the guardians' platform)

    Scatter lasers on a walker are cheap and get you 8 S6 shots (right? don't know the eldar codex like the back of my hand). My buddy runs his that way, good for hordes/light vehicles.

    Sybrite is right magnetize everything. That the best way to do it. All mine aren t and i regret it so much ... I m getting 3 warwalker for christmas and those one gonna be 100% magnetize.

    Wave Serpent= 4 option
    1- Shuriken Canon , cheap
    2- Bright Lance , Expensive but effective
    3- Scatter laser , good vs armor 10-"11"
    4- My favorite option Missile launcher + shuriken canon

    Me i have 4 wave , 2 bright lance, 2 ML. ML can be use as defensive weapon. But i regret nothing is magnetize because shuriken canon on a wave serpent is THE way to keep your wave cheap.

    Warwalker , only 1 option
    Scatter laser twice.

    First off. Magnetize....but the first set should be:

    Scatter lasers on the war walker, (get more war walkers. 3 if you can, then kill everything they hit)...the number of shots and the power is just sweet.
    put Eldar missile launchers on the rest. even the support weap; even if twin linked too. this is your anti armour and anti heavy infantry. plus the SL's still kick ass...

    Done.

    This is my setup.
    Bright lances are cool. (good vs. necrons) everyone loves em, but the cost for one shot (one die roll) vs. hit chance is too low for me (same-ish for the starcannon)

    Eldar vehicle BS never made sense to me. You'd think in all the millennia they've been around they'd spend some time doing target practice. "Nah... we let the tanks that shoot blast weapons bother with that stuff."

    (Sorry for the mini hijack!)

    I like to keep the Wave Serpent as cheap as possible (its probably going to die anyway) so just t/l Shuriken Cannons. As for War Walkers.... double scatter lasers all the way! same for the guardian support weapon, scatter laser is a good choice.

    Remember. for the war walkers, double scatters lasers (or whatever else) is NOT twin linked. each fires separately so you get 8 shots with one war walker.
