Total: 1850
Part of the changes are due to the fact that I've got a total of 3 Wave Serpents and 3 Heavy Support tank bodies.
I'm just really noy feeling the love on Falcons so far. Their shooting is 'eh', and as a transport, well, they're inferior to a Wave Serpent. Wave Serpents have a better main gun, more capacity, and the energy field. The only time I see the Falcon do something different is when it moves 6" and cranks out 3 S8 shots at BS3. I'm just not seeing a lot of the point in a Falcon, and a Fire Prism is better at taking out infantry. In a pinch, it can try to pop tanks with it, as well.
Beyond that, changes are twofold: the Autarch is gone, and there are Rangers in lieu of a third squad of Avengers. I'm going to give v1 some more testing, but this is probably the next incarnation of mech eldar.

Added a couple extra fire dragons I see. Five melta guns not quite enough for ya? Heh.
Seriously though: the changes look pretty solid. I'm no expert on Space Elves, but I do agree that the Wave Serpent > Falcon. Especially when used as a transport for Dire Avengers The double Fire Prism will certainly give hordes a difficult time as well. (...he said from experience.)
Hey, we saw that 5 meltaguns doesn't always do the trick...but that's dice luck for you. Normally a melta pen should be a destroyed on 4+, and on open-top, a 3+ should've done it...but hey, sometimes Snake Eyes just come up and stare at you.
I do plan on getting more tests in, and seeing if there's a way to keep the Autarch in there. I'd like to test that out a little bit before totally scrapping him.
