Editing Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Eldar Corsairs (7E) (section)

==Building your Army==
The best thing about this army is most of the infantry can be converted out of any regular Eldar/Deldar troops with greenstuff, patience and a steady hand.
The worst thing is that most of the vehicles are [[Forge World]] (beautiful, but expensive)(many options aren't any more expensive now than regular GW stuff. Seriously, nab some Warp Hunters).  Using High Elves, Wood Elves, and Dark Elves from AoS for conversions is a great idea.

As with Craftworld Eldar careful consideration should be taken when choosing your army however they do have more flexible choices over their craftworld brethren. The first thing you should notice is BS4 everywhere, this is a [[Khaine|god]]send when compared to the measly BS3 on many codices out there. Falcons are Corsair  dedicated transports, put EVERYTHING in Falcons.

Now, lets look at the army:
*HQ
**Obviously you want a Corsair Prince, the real question is which free specialization to take. You'll need at least one Baron as well and getting that Void Dreamer eventually is a plus.
***Lots of options for conversions.  Use an Autarch on a bike for your Prince.  There are probably still old jetbikes at your FLGS, you can use them to differentiate your Baron from regular bikes.  Fleetmasters from AoS make great piratey walking Princes/Barons.  Find a space elf/regular elf model you like and go to town.

*Elite
**Two choices stand out here:
**Suicidal CC shock troops
**Deep Striking walkers with heavy firepower, a decent I save, and the option to blast into melee
***Wyches can easily be used as Malevolents.  If you want relatively beefier Voidstorms, consider using Striking Scorpions.  With a bit of modeling to lose the dreads (and there is a LOT of hair on them) they make for a more imposing elite than regular guardians.  AoS Dark Aelf Corsairs would be great stand-ins also, they even come equipped with "venom blades" already!  Not many people would stop you from using regular War Walkers as Wasps.

*Troops
**Reavers give you Venoms/Falcons, Ghostwalkers are Obj Campers, and bikes are Obj grabbers.  Mix and match to taste.
***Guardians are your best bet and bikes from the regular line works as well.  High Aelf Shadow Warriors from AoS make great looking Ghostwalkers (using Dark Eldar Scourge dark lances as rifles).

*Fast Attack
**Hornets are beautifully effective as are Nightwings, Hornets hit harder but Nightwings are harder to kill. 1 Squad of 3 Hornets and 2 Nightwings can't go wrong. Remeber that Vyper is only 50 pts for one Scatter Laser and one Splinter cannon (or two splinter cannon). So 150 pts gave you 12 S6 shots and 18 Poisoned (4+) shots. 
***If you can't get your hands on FW right away (and you really should get Hornets at least), using Vypers to fill up lists is fine.  They actually aren't that bad.

*Heavy Support
**Warp Hunters and Firestorms provide much needed firepower, Firestorm is better at killing light vehicles while Warp Hunter is better at killing infantry. Fire Prisms are great as well.
***Again if you can't get your hands on the sweet sweet resin, using Fire Prisms and Night Spinners is fine.  For Balestrikes this writer used just the gunner and his seat from Vypers and cut the flares off left over star engines.  Glue the flares on the bottom, slap them on small clear flying bases, ?????, and you have yourself a "jetpack" using man-portable Heavy weapons squad.
