some warwalkers seem like a better choice than wraithlords.

Yeah, I'm thinking about thye heavy support slot now. There's kind of an insect theme emerging lol -

Karandras as HQ

Scorpions as elite troops

Scatter bikes (which someone mentioned theming)

Hornets in fast attack

I'm really torn now over the heavy slot - Fire prisms have been mentioned and I can see the benefit in that, but I've also seen assault war walkers on Forgeworld called Eldar Wasp Assault Walkers - http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Eldar/ELDAR-WASP-ASSAULT-WALKER.html

Since someone mentioned Tau and I've never lost a game with them Id like to say that if you can use your wknights and bikes to make me focus my fire long enough that your whole army is in my face you win. If you don't zerg rush with your shields and monster beasts soaking all the damage I may actually table you

Edit: meant wraithlords. If I deploy well you can't play fancy like the eldar like and hope to win. I'll overwhelm you if you don't lock up my units fast

It is really interesting to hear from the perspective of someone who would be facing the army. Interesting to read that you would need to see the heavy units as high vlaue - and therefore a distraction - to draw away attention from the pretty brutal assault coming your way from flanking or infiltrating Scorpions.

Hi guys - back again with the revised list! I took a lot of the feedback into account and kept some of my original ideas (such as a couple of Wave Serpents for flanking).

This is what it looks like now and I think I'm happy with it! While I couldn't fit in Karandras, I think he Autarch is still going to add a punch to the unit while providing his Path of Command special rule.

As always, feedback welcome
