Ok, so my thought process on this is that the HQ choice could stay protected a Dire Avenger squadron and use the points to purchase more units as they are more potent at killing other units and I would rather have an extra squad instead of a farseer on a windrider (which could capture objectives) but from past experience, other units proved more useful. the Jetbikes could capture or steal objectives. The Dire Avenger squads are meant to sit on objectives and used to act as the main fire power against opposition troops choice or heavily armoured units with their bladestorm special rule. the Wraithguard will be using their strength D weapons to remove tanks or possible titans and other large monstrous creatures. the Warp Spiders will be deep striking behind enemy tanks with their strength 6 weapons to glance it to death and could also be used as objective grabbers and just a general annoyance unit. the Falcon will provide a clearing up unit to remove remaining hull points from other vehicles or monstrous creatures. The Wraithknight would be a massive moving target and to provide cover fire for the army against armour 2 units and has the invulnerable save as well as destroying vehicles in combat. I would give the warlord trait to the knight instead of the warlock as he is weaker.

Feedback would be appreciated Thank you!

Fire Prism
2 more Jetbikes
5 Rangers
Wraithlord
3 more Wraithguard
5 Wraithblades

I like it. As in, I would both play with and against it. Kudos.

Thank you thats kind of you

Don't sweat it A personal taste of mine would be a Farseer over the Warlock but points is points and I dunno how much Wraithguard are (yet to get Codex) to see whether dropping one would be enough (don't enough know if you can have five man)

I would swap the Wraithknight over to D Cannons and get him some scatter lasers. The D Cannons are just so much better than the Sun Cannon.

I would advise dropping the Exarch so you can make the Knight warlord, currently the Exarch is forced to be your warlord and that's an easy STW to get.

Otherwise I'm sure you're aware jet bikes >>>> DAs in Serpents.

Finally at 140 points is that Falcon as good as a Crimson Hunter, particularly given you have no AA anywhere in your list?

yeah the cannons are good on the wraithknight but i felt the 5+ invulnerable save was important especially if the wariathknight only has a 3+ save.

I didnt realise the Exarch was forced but yes I would want to remove him to make him the warlord.

Personally I prefer the Dire Avengers to the Jet bikes especially as I only have 5 jetbikes as it is and personally I don't like the Jetbike play style as a whole even if it is more competative.

The Crimson Hunter would be very useful but as I stated at the bottom of my post, I do not currently own one but If I did invest in one (which is bound to occur at some point) then yes I will replace the Falcon with the Hunter Thanks for feedback

Wraithknight now has FnP,so invulnerable ain't as necessary

I don't see it in the codex at all? :/

Gargantuan Creatures all come with FnP as standard.

I see, thank you guys so much!

With all the Eldar hate out there you should leave the wraithknight alone. You will get more games that way.

Unless your trying to be competitive than by all means spam the D all bikes like everyone else.

Pretty much this.

But he's not taking str d in form of wraithcannon or sword.
oh and BTW, aren't Warp spiders FA?

The warlock is a poor HQ choice. He doesn't have independent character. So you have one warlock wondering around on his own, now able to join any squad.... Very easy first blood.

Having a single warlock is actually great. He can either hide in the falcon, or merely stay in reserves. Come on late game onto an objective. Do you really want to shoot at a 35 point model that has a 4++ and easily hidden?

Overall, an interesting list. I would advise dropping the spider exarch and one wraithguard for 2 more spiders instead. 7 spiders is a strong unit.

i would start with the formation that lets you take the squads. take 2-3 fire dragon squads and 0-1 dire avenger squad.
if you have to proxy a bit i am sure most people will understand outside of tournament play.
to start i want to say i think wave serpents got nerfed beyond redemption so i would compleatly drop them unless you are carrying wraith guard in them.

cad
1 or 2 seers on bikes

troops
take a 3 man squad of bikes normally i would say just fill up you troop slot with 6 of these squads
somehow i think you can make wraith guard troops. if so take 2 5 man squads in wave serpents with scatter lasers.

heavy support
3 falcons with the 5++ squad

i don't see any guardians that you own but that heavy support d weapon is amazing. they can move 6 then run so lets say 3 then shoot 24 inches that's a 31" threat zone.

LOW wraith knight base plus one star cannon so you can assault into something if you need to and still shoot at ranged target with the D

you will have to proxy two falcons with the extra wave serpent and prism.

i dont play eldar but i spent about 20 minutes looking over the dex and this is the list i would try.

the killing power of that falcon drop is amazing with fire dragons on board. you should be able to guarantee the 3 biggest fears all die that turn.
the dex is incredibly strong and will be an absolute blast to play with and against. hope you have fun.
and i see you are trying to use a little bit of everything. you really need to look at the formations and the aspect HQs there is some fun to be had.
