Below are two list's i wrote for people i know (one is new but knows most things and the other hasn't played for 4 years) their main concern is to have fun while still being able to win some games, our local store isn't very big on competative lists so a few tactical downsides to a list won't be too much of a problem. Input would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

General idea. FS joins the WG to fortune them and MW anything with a powerfist. Yriel joins this unit but can detach closer to the enemy if needs be and if there is a juicy eye or wrath target. The WG march up the board with a fortunes 3+armor and 5+cover and T6 hopefully shrugging off most damage with the WL's advancing to deal with enemy armor at range, the sword weilding WL will be able to add some extra hitty in combat aswell. As for the Guardian squad, they will sit on a home objective or advance to one somewhere out of the way and hope nothing targets them. The bikes will be able to move quickly up the flanks and either flame infantry or spear a vehicle, if they are alive at the end of the game they can contest/claim objectives out of the WG's reach.

General idea. FS and locks with fortune and guide, all with spears can go tank hunting and can even do well in combat against most things. SG ride around shooting at tanks waiting to place 3 templates down on light infantry, or if there is none, gang up and place 6 templates down on heavy infantry and multicharge in the vain hope of killing something with the philosophy of "i have so many attacks, i can't loose" The normal guardians will hold home objectives and lend fire support, the WL will either be a deterrent to anything wanting to crush the guardians or as a "second wave" if he is needed. As for the vypers, moving flat out and trying to set up side/rear arc shots on vehicles or harrasing infantry (i find they make a very good, if short-lived, distraction or objective contester)

I really like the Ulthwe themed list (my favorite Craftworld); i'd probably get rid of the Vyper's and include another Wraithlord though, not for any competitive reason but just because i like Wraithlords lol

The ulthwe list with its jetbikes is a great list. If the vypers are apart then I would replace them with another wraithlord.

Otherwise, that list is amazing!

ps: I have the same wraithlord configuration.

Ulthwe list: I would drop the foot guardians, and spirit stones on the vypers, to acquire a unit of FDs in a WS. These are really a key unit for eldar, there's never any reason not to take them! Other than that, the list looks quite strong.

drop yper for lord

Thanks for the input guys, if the vypers are dropped and a second wraithlord taken with the same config of the first one i'll have enough points to take runes of warding (which can be really fun) or should i spend those spare points making a more shooty lord?

I love my fire dragons, and in my own lists i always have at least one unit, but for the Ulthwe list though my friend asked that his 40 guardians be included and he'd rather not take any aspects, after a few games he might see sence when he realises how fast guardians die

The Ulthwe list was tested twice.
Once in a 2v2, which ended up with an Eldar victory, although the other eldar list did more work.
And a 1v1 against mech eldar which ended up in a draw, so thats not too conclusive either.
