Ok, I've got some cash that I want to spend on two bfg fleets and two epic armies.

I'm leaning towards Imperial and Eldar since they've got a nice mix, speed, finese, brute force, etc.  That and the tau are a little too expensive for my tastes currently.

I'm probably going to build the two bfg fleets around 1500 points and thinking around 2700 or so for the epic ones.

Can any one recommend a pair of fun/effective lists for both imperial and eldar?  I'd like to have a single titan and some form of flyer for both too, even if it's the warhound titan, just like the idea of it.

Thanks!

I personally favor the IG for your Imperial Epic, the Guard is the most common Imperial force and their list is very solid. Currently their is only one of the Eldar lists finished/official so I'd go with that one unless you highly favor one of the other eldar army lists being worked on.

For your eldar you might find it easier to field an Ulthwe list as the troop formations tend to be less expensive (guardians) then the very cost heavy Biel-Tan aspect warhosts, this would free up points to squeeze in Revenants and maybe fliers, though I think at 2700pts you still wouldn't be able to have both (only 1/3 may be spent on Titans and Fliers, thus 891pts can be spent. Revenant scout titans are worth 650 and your cheapest fliers are 300). Still though, the Revenants are easily the best titans you can field.

Ummn. 1/3 of 2700pts would be 900pts, not 891pts!!

Would a 2700 army with titan(s) and flyer(s) be worth it?
I mean is it possible to build well rounded Imperial and Eldar armies?

I played SM with a Warlord Titan at a Epic Tournament at Nashcon back in May and went 2-1 (almost ended up in first place but I didn't know the Eldar rules). It was a monster and it tore up five kinds of hell all over the place. Orks ignored it as best they could, Chaos tried brining it down and failed, only the Eldar and their Titan warship could kill it.

I've played with and without it, and all I can say it's a huge points sink. Not that it isn't worth it, especially with the range of the TLD and GB being increased to 60cm.

With a Warlord, you don't have room for flyers, since you only have 50 points to play with. But maybe if you had some Warhound Titans, that would make a big difference.

Good Luck, which ever way you go.
