Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: Liam Vsl’s Anti-Aeldari Aeldari Aspect Host
Liam Vsl is one of the best 40K players in the world and at the WTC he brought a heavily tech’d out Anti-Aeldari/Aeldari Aspect Host list. check it out!
Liam’s list has all the pieces from the current “best” of Space Elves meta, with some pieces to help deal with the other Elf lists out there. Let’s look at it to see a list that might do very well for you if you played it in a local event or two.
Here is the list – a modified Aspect host pushing the best Aspects down and into your face. It runs three Phoenix Lords to help with the damage output and a ton of utility. It also runs the sneaky Tempest launchers that allow for some very deadly no line of sight shooting to help punish other Aeldari armies who run those pesky Warp Spiders and Howling Banshees that live outside a vehicle.

Anti-Aeldari Aeldari Aspect Host Tactics
Fuegan and friends are really carrying a heavy anti vehicle/big stuff load for the army, but this is one of the units that can do it. They can split fire and put enough damage into two things very easily. Lhykis can also bring the pain quickly with their fast movement and abilities to just murder whoever they get into. The Dark Reapers are there for the mirror as the Tempest launchers can quickly remove one of these threats in the opposing Aeldari army. The Storm Guardians are also another tech piece to hold the back field with a large unit and just make it hard for other armies to quickly get over there as the rest of the army tries to lock you in place.
This army does all the things you want an army to do in 10th edition. It moves fast. It hits hard. It also can just lock other armies in place as it racks up the Primary score. Any army that has extreme movement that the opponent can’t stop is going to be a threat.
“Control the Dragon, channel it’s power, and in all things maintain absolute focus” ~ Fuegan
