| The Eldar must have started somewhere.... |
So first things first, the army list. This is 1500 points but I also have a 1000 and 600 so I can collect in stages because those Forgewolrd kits will put a dent in my pocket money funds. Here's a rundown of all the units, their equipment and roles.
HQ
Corsair Prince - Autarch equivalent
Power Weapon - standard stuff
Shimmershield - 5+ inv for him and his unit in cc
Melta Bombs - standard stuff
- For assaulting troops on objectives and such
3 Bladesworn - Prince's retinue
3 Power Weapons - standard stuff
Melta Bombs - standard stuff
- Protects the Prince and contribute 12 attacks on the charge.... oh yeah
Venom - Dedicated transport, oh yeah
Scatter Laser - standard stuff
- To serve and protect
Void Dreamer - Farseer equivalent but without Runes or anything cool
Witchblade - but he does have this,
Grynx - a small magical rodent to reroll one D6 every game
Webway Portal - and he also has this, win
- A swiss army knife with the deployment bubble
Troops
10 Corsairs - Guardians basically but with BS4!
Jetpack - Love these
2 Eldar Missle Launchers - Relentless EML's....
2 Flamers - Just because I'll have them doesn't mean I'll use them
Felarch - The exarch equivalent
- To camp on objectives really
5 Corsairs - Same as above
Shuriken Cannon - standard stuff
Fusion Gun - standard stuff
Felarch - Same as above but..
Power Weapon - with one of these
Haywire Grenades - and some of this!
- More swiss army knives with something deadly for anything unfriendly
Venom - standard stuff
Scatter Laser - standard stuff
- Really darn good at protecting those 5+ save Corsairs
*Above Corsair squad is duplicated for double awesomeness
2 Wasps - Basically normal War Walkers except BS4 and with Jetpacks
4 Scatter Lasers - For the massive hordes at BS4
5 Corsairs - Same as above
Shuriken Cannon - standard stuff
Fusion Gun - standard stuff
Felarch - Same as above but..
Power Weapon - with one of these
Haywire Grenades - and some of this!

2 Wasps - Basically normal War Walkers except BS4 and with Jetpacks
4 Scatter Lasers - For the massive hordes at BS4
- Just like regular Walkers, but better!
3 Corsair Jetbikes - same as regular Guardian Jetbikes but with BS4, scouts and 2 attacks base
Shuriken Cannon - standard stuff
Felarch - Same as above except
Fusion Pistol - with a BS4 melta pistol
Power Weapon - and 3 attacks base with WS4!
*Above Jetbike squad is duplicated so I can outflank reliably with at least one
Fast Attack
2 Hornets - Basically better Vypers, twice the guns, more speed, scouts, AV11
4 Pulse Lasers - For things that don't die
3 Corsair Jetbikes - same as regular Guardian Jetbikes but with BS4, scouts and 2 attacks base
Shuriken Cannon - standard stuff

4 Pulse Lasers - For things that don't die
- This unit is for anything that MUST DIE NOW
Total = 1499
So overall it is a fast list where everything can either outflank, deepstrike or come from the webway. I really like the idea, just need to buy and build it.
P.S. If anyone can think of a banner icon for Corsairs I'd love to hear about it as I cannot think of a design for their flags and banners.
