Pulsating Possessed Space Marine of Slaanesh

So this is round two in a tournament.
The list I backed up was:
Farseerer
Spirit stones, Guide and Doom
9 Dire Avengers
Exarch w/dual avenger catapults
9 Dire Avengers
Exarch w/dual avenger catapults
Wraithlord
Wraithsword and starcannon
I'd appreciate any help. I'm still new to Eldar.
Thanks.

You don't need those Exarchs. They're only worthwhile if you want the Exarch powers.
Wraithsword sucks. Even the shuricannon would be preferable; however, I'd recommend scraping up a few more points and getting a scatter laser to go with the starcannon. (In larger games, BL + EML, always.)
You sure you're not over points? It looks slightly over 500 to me.

That's exactly 500 points.

So I guess my list is so epic, that no one can think of another revision? Amazing.

It's hard to call anything epic at 500 points
It is a good starter list, though, and you cram in a good amount for 500 point Eldar. Some changes still to make:
You really don't need Guide, with all that BS4 shooting. You also need some more powerful long-range anti-tank fire.
Drop the stones and guide in favor of BL/ EML on the Wraithlord. that should fix any armor that you might face very quickly, assuming your Wraithlord survives incoming missile/lascannon fire.
This will cut down your S6 ranged fire, but given the potency of the BL/ EML combo, it's very much worth it.

Sneaky Kommando

The other option is taking regular guardian squads (gasp!) with weapons platforms. This moves all your AT fire from the WL to the infantry.

Half an hour with no replies and you self-bump your thread? Take a chill pill.
Savnock is probably right. I figured you wouldn't really need AT at this level, but when I think about you, you did take a WL, after all; it's quite likely your opponent will have something similar. A single Pred would give you a hard time.
