Not easy to read in the slightest.. if you want feedback.. make it a touch more friendly to the eye.

people are drawn into Wraithguard with their look and background but they are elite
cant hold objectives
guns are weak

only good thing is their toughness

are you read the eldar codex?

if you take 10 with a spiritseer you may take them as a troops choice.

So they can hold objectives
Their guns (while having short range) are arguably the most powerful in the game (wounds on 2+, AP2, Inflicts instant death on the roll of a 6)
They are fearless so you cant make them run
And they are T6 so they are damn hard to kill.

Wraithguard are a tarpit, hard to kill and unbreakable. Used in conjuction with harequins (who have hit and run) they can be devastating.

I mean, what's the point in winning if you allow people that don't take the game seriously to live?

Against a mechanized list you might be Hard Pressed. Too many Dark Reapers Take a War Walker Squadron Armed Scatter lasers instead.

One of the Farseers should get Fortune to support the Wraithguard. If you have nothing against him, I'd suggest taking Eldrad instead of both Farseers.

I don't know how the Dark Reapers are doing, as I've never fielded them so far. I have good experiences with triple Wraithlords though, kitted out exactly like you have kitted yours out.

Just some stuff to think about.

My dark reapers a just too static on the board i have used them a couple of times and been disappointed 80% of the time. Now my wraithguard i love to death taken with a spiritseer and mounted in a wave serpent their awesome. Mobile fire power

Looks a bit odd. The army lacks long-range anti-tank support. For this, I'd take 2 or 3 Wraithlords.
A Guardian squad without weapon platform is pointless.

Take either a 5man squad of guard in a serpent and take lots more troops or take a couple more troop choices as it stands. It will be soo easy to kill/break/route those two lil guardain squads - embolden will only get you so far.

Reapers will fare better at range. You dont really need bright lances with 10 guard (Monoliths are slow but wont teleport in miles away and LR generally come to you - but mechenised guard are cool, as are non-mechenised scoring guard. If your spending that many points on the guard then id suggest swapping one of the farseers purposes to fortuneing the guard. : ( 3+armour, 4+ cover or 5+ cover)- rerollable isnt too bad.

Your glass-hammer harlequins wont fare well with your 66% glass toothpick troops.

This list lacks a focoused backbone.

I am not really sure what exactly your trying to say here, I agree that harlequins are a fragile unit ( as are almost all eldar) but they are the unit I have had the greatest success with. They shred in CC against almost anything, and then jump out in my turn allowing the wraith guard to shoot. So far strategy has been working well, needs tweaking but I have only played this list about 5 times. As far as a backbone goes I am not sure what could be more of a back bone then a 10 man squad of T6 scoring units in power armor. Thanks for the constructive comments though ; )

For countercharge, harlequins are what this list needs though I'd take either eldrad and avatar/yriel for HQ as that gives a more tactical edge.

You might want to drop a guardian squad and put one in a ws so you have a quick objective grabing unit and have a bl on the tank for anti tank.

The guardians in a ws is an option I have considered, one guardian squad the way I have it written are like 25 points, where would you get the other points necessary to put them in wave serpent ?
