Hey everybody! All right to start off I wanna say that although I'm new to this site, I've been a long time visitor and have always loved the great advice and tactics others have gotten by seeking help in The Dark City (sensing a bit of irony lol). The current meta at my LGS is SM (mainly Vanilla, BA, DA), Nurgle CSM, Necrons, Orks, and Eldar. Today I'm looking for that same help against an eldar player who plays like he's in the Nova Finals. He runs a very competitive 2K list and tries not to be smug about it. Off the top of my head, his list usually consists of:
2 Farseers (Sometimes 1 as Eldrad and 1 usually on bike)
~7 Rangers
8 Dark Reapers w/ Exarch (fast shot)
2-3 Wave Serpents
Dire Avengers to fill those serpents
Fire Prism
~8-10 Jetbikes
Swooping Hawks w/ Exarch
Thats probably more or less what he runs, but these are the ones I can remember the most. With that said I would really appreciate some advice/guidance on my list to make his smug face swell with nerd rage lol

This may sound crazy but I feel like I have too much AT for what he's bringing, which is why I put dissies on the raiders. As for the Flesh Gauntlet, (which I'm sure someone is crapping their pants asking why), I've had tremendous success with it in the past, including 1-hitting a riptide on the first assault after overwatch took out 4 wyches and the last 5 finally made it thru the Shielded Missile drones. I was also thinking about switching the HQs with The Duke and an Archon w/ HB, ST, PGL, CD, SF. I don't have any Wracks or Grots but I do plan to pick some up soon so they're out of the question atm. Either way, any help would contribute to making sure that everyone knows DE are still around and shouldn't be taken lightly!
Edit: So I dropped a Wych and added Splinter Racks to the last 10 warrior raider.

anyways adding SR to one of the raiders sounds like a good idea just to keep up the volume of fire so I'll try dropping a Wych and throwing the SR on the 3rd boat and see if that helps. Basically, if I can get my opponent to focus more on the Trueborn, ravagers, and even Vect himself, that'll allow me to sneak the wyches and haemy in behind his line and hopefully cause havoc on any troops or HQs he's got sitting back there. If he's at my LGS tonight, I'll try this list out and see how it goes!
