Aeldari Patrol (1500pts)

This is a v2.50 list that can be build using a Combat Patrol: Aeldari box from Games Workshop, or any other models of your choice.

Just use Shadow Dance with your mage. Your infantry is very much glass cannon, and getting a 4+ armor save in ranged and a 2+ in melee is a fantastic survivability boost. Psychic Fog is a good use if you know you'll be able to take a unit under 50% the next time you damage them - even a Q3+ Fearless unit is going to be making their test at a 50% chance to pass the next time. Spam infantry units will have pretty much no chance.
