OKAY, here is my rework from all of the suggestions I recieved earlier. I am going up against Khorne and Nob bikers alot in my gaming area. I have beat khorne with a similiar list to this in the past and drew once. However, I am going for the massacre because this guy thinks he cannot and should not be beat.

HQ
Avatar
Farseer (jetbike, doom, fortune, runes of warding, spirit stones, singing spear)
Warlocks x5 (jetbikes, destructors x3, embolden, enhanced)

Elite
Striking Scorpions x10 (Exarch with claw, Stalker)
Wave Serpent for Scorpions (Bright Lance)
Harlequins x10 (Troupe Master, Shadowseer, Kisses)


Troops
Jetbikes x6 (Shuriken Cannon x2) Ojective Grabbers that reserve and hang around Avatar's fearless bubble, but try to stay out of assault
Dire Avengers x8 (Exarch with shimmershield, defend)
Dire Avengers x8 (Exarch with twin cats and bladestorm)

Heavy Support
Wraith Lord x1 (Missile Launcher, Bright Lance)
Wraith Lord x2 (Bright Lance)

I took the missile launchers off to save points for the full jetbike squad, or I could decrease it to three bike and put the missile launchers back on the Wraithlord. I have not been having a lot of luck with S8 weapons other than the bright lance, taking down tanks. The occasion plasma missile is good however.

My strategy would be to charge forward with the Seer Council (I know it is small) and Wave Serpent filled with Scorpions to invade the emeny deployment zone and cause a delay and distraction. Then the rest of the killy stuff can catch up and smash what is held up in the enemy deployment join. The Eldarzilla four and harlies along with the shimmershield avengers will approach from the front. The Jetbikes will probaly be reserved as to stay behind for objective grabbing or snipe at light vehicles that try to escape the trap or grab objectives.

I basically want to pin the enemy inbetween the forward unit and the approaching unit. I hope this will cause panic and bad decisions on his part.

I am thinking about dropping a WraithLord for three additional Warlocks.

What say you?

Try some Wraithguard if you're going to have 3 Wraithlords.

I'd run the jetlocks in a unit of at least 8. Are the DAs just going to walk around next to the Avatar and be fearless? I feel like Guardians will be better suited for this since you can then get a lot more of them and they can get you some heavy weapons to shoot while they're standing there.

I'd probably drop the EML from the Wraithlord and use those points in the Jetlocks or to drop your farseer in favor trying to find points for Eldrad. Just let Eldrad hide in one of the Serpents but make sure he stays close enough to the Jetlocks that he can buff them with Fortune/Doom/Guide.
