Greetings, people of Dakka! The time might have come to expand my Eldar to 1850 pts, so I'd like to hear your opinion about the following list:

Jetseer council formation:

Jetseer, spear
Jetseer, spear
5 Jetlocks

CAD:

HQ:

Eldrad Ulthran
Stoned Jetseer

Troops:

5 rangers
3 scatbikes

Elites:

10 Wraithguard

LoW:

Wraithknight, dual wraithcannons

Heroes' Path Formation:

Death Jester

Shadowseer, Mask of Secrets

Solitaire

I'm 1 pt over the allowance Now I know that this is not the uber optimal way to go, but at the moment all the models I own are what you see in the list minus wraithguard and the wraithknight, plus one hornet and an unit of guardians, but I've got a chance to grab those wraiths for a reasonable price and am thinking should I or not, given that warahmmer should probably be the last thing I should spend money atm, but if the list above might stand a chance in a semi-competitive meta, I might as well go for it. Cheers!

Edit: Eldrad is intended to footslog along with the guard, making them more viable with potential invis and his scouting warlord trait.

Edit 2: All the Jetlocks actually have witchblades

Well, you can take one Singing Spear out to get under for that one extra point.

You've two DeathStars:
a. WG are avoided easily (too short in range and speed)
b. the Jetseer council which, as your opponent, I'd give full love of bullets, with only 11 wounds, however pys-buffed. Also, if the opponent has a tarpit (wolfstar, nurglings, Scarabs) ... well.

If playing Maelstrom missions, a little fire power spent on the one unit of Scatbikes will be an easy KP and really hurt your ability to score. Only your WK and the council are available for high mobility.

I'm not sure about the Harlies ( in that, I dunno how bad-ass it is )

If you drop the bad Harley formation and take baharoth and maybe another psycher you can make a little gating star with the wraithguard. This won't scatter because of baharoth. Footslogging the guard will mean they never get to shoot. Ever. Honestly.

10 Wraithguard seems overkill. Nothing will survive that. I'd turn them into two units of five.
