Saim-Hann: 1500pts Balanced List

Here is the Saim-Hann list that I have been building. I use this as a balanced and semi-competitive force. It's got some really hard hitting elements such as the Dragons in the sooped-up Falcon, but also some more fluffy elements such as the 7 man jetbike squad - which is perhaps tactically questionable but just looks good! I think this stops the list from being accused of normal mech Eldar cheese, anybody agree?

The red notations indicate the current progress on each unit.

I've notched up 5 wins and 3 losses with this list which I think is pretty respectable. I'm trying to get as much play as possible out of them now, because as you may have noticed, 5th ed. will not be kind to my guys. I'm sure I'll get into that in another post, as well as some tactical hints & tricks that I have picked up for this army.

A quick tribute must be paid to the fantastic blog The Way of the Saim-Hann which has been a great inspiration and aid to me throughout this project. Well worth a visit!
