Epic 40k - The Eldar Host lands

The Eldar are essentially Elves...in space! And they have GUNS - like, real ones that kill things and whatnot - instead of bows! What's not to love?!?!

They have the same noble features, are way underweight, they're stealthy and generally outnumbered and, of course, they have pointy ears. In Epic they enjoy two pages of extra rules to characterize their faction, most of which relate to their shoot-and-scoot tactics and their focus on preserving manpower as there are so few of them left in the Universe. Indeed, given I'm well known as a "meat grinder" player enjoying hordes of disposable infantry in my forces to overwhelm the enemy, this army offers a fresh tactical change to my play style.

The army I've completed consists of
3 Phantom Titans
1 Warlock Titan
4 Revenant Scout Titans
12 Tempest Heavy Grav Tanks
8 Prism Cannons
4 Wave Serpents
4 Warp Hunters
6 Doom Weavers
6 Firestorms
12 Dreadnaughts
6 metal Walkers
6 Plastic Walkers
9  Nightwing Flyers
8 stand of Wraith Guard
15 Stands of Jet Bikes
10 Stands of Viper Jet Bikes
10 Stands of Lascannon Platforms
10 Stands of Vibro Cannon Platforms
8 Stands of Dark Reapers (4 Stds are Converted)
8 Stands of Swooping Hawks
8 Stands of Striking Scorpions
8 Stands of Dire Avengers
8 Stands of Fire Dragons
4 Stands of Howling Banshees
12 Stands of Exarchs
8 Stands of Harlequins
2 Metal Avatars
60 Stands of Guardians
30 Plastic Falcon Grav Tanks
2 Plastic Warlock Falcon Grav Tanks
3 Warlock Stands

Painted as Biel-Tan and amounting to a frightening 11,000pt of Epic Armageddon these will have their baptism of fire at next week's Epic Tournament at Realm of Legends

Infantry. Lots of it. Really LOTS! In hovering transports. What's not to love?!?
