Top Army Lists At Smite Club Open: Eldar Embark
Thanks to Best Coast Pairings, we can look back at the event as if we were all there ourselves.
3rd Place: Jason Flanzer – Necrons
2nd Place: Don Hooson – Death Guard
1st Place: Daniel Olivas – Aeldari
Daniel’s Eldar is actually almost entirely Harlequins! This means expect lots of Troupes and transports!
He went with a two-detachment setup featuring a battalion led by a Shadowseer for psychic support and two Troupe Masters to lead the army of Troupes into battle. Speaking of which, there are 36 across six squads for the lists troop category.
These are the bulk of the bodies, thanks to their ability to move nimbly and shoot out of their transports.
Elites bring in a Death Jester to help with ranged chip damage, while the Solitaire serves as an elite melee duelist. Heavy Support brings in 3 Voidweavers for some ranged fire.
Dedicated Transports include 5-star weavers for carrying all of those troupes down the field. Fortification Network is the second detachment and has a Webway gate to provide an option to deep strike in on.
