VERY UNFORGIVING IF YOU MESS UP OR SHUFFLE IN FRONT OF LOW AP TEMPLATES BUT POTENT. Comments?

First some legal issues.
1) your HQ slot is illegal. If you want to take a Warlock body guard, you need at least 3 warlocks.

Aside from that, a list like this needs to focus on defense. Your farseer needs Fortune and Warding. Runes of Warding defends you against enemy psychers, and Fortune helps keep your 400 point Wraithguard squad alive.

I would also consider conceal. I understand that cover is pretty easy to get in 5th edition, but... Wraithguard have only 12 inch guns. If you keep that hugely expensive troop squad tucked safely away in cover... you are basically taking them out of the game! You need them marching up, to take your opponent's objective. the 5+ cover save from conceal is not bad when combined with the Farseer's fortune.

The other issue you have is close combat. Inherant with Wraithguard is close combat. You've got a big tough durable squad, with devestating close range guns, that has trouble killing things in cc even with enhance! So naturally the enemy is going to charge them as soon as he can. You don't have any answers to that, except for a single wraithlord and a pheonix lord- and wraithlords don't have very many attacks. You need to focus on getting more attacks on the table so that you slash through most anything that gets into your wraithguard.

I would try a list like this

(100) Farseer- Runes of Warding, Fortune
(140) 5 Harlequins- shadowseer, 5 kisses
(391) 10 Wraith Guard + Warlock- spirit seer, conceal
(120) 5 Pathfinders
(125) Wraithlord- Missile, Sword
(125) Wraithlord- Missle, Sword

Total : 1001

I still think Pathfinders are bad. But this list keeps with your theme of small and elite, except it adds an additional Wraithlord, and 5 Harlequins. If you want to pop av14, you'll need to get up close and blast it with your guard, or smash it with your Lords. It plays basically the same except now you've got some real close combat punch. Since you've got 2 times as many wraithlord attacks, and they are re rolling misses. Not to mention the rending dice the Harlies can toss around.

Anyway, if you are dead set on a pheonix lord, Karandaras would be better. He confers stealth to the squad, which means you can get a 4+ cover save from a warlock's conceal, and a 3+ cover save from being in real cover. combine that with a farseer's fortune and you're opponent is sure to be frustrated.

That said, 1000 points is not the level you should be bringing a plord. You need more units on the table. an Eldar death star will pale in comparison to a Wolf, Blood Angel, or GK death star.

As akaean pointed out, the list is very illegal. You have 2 warlock units, you are a allowed one. If you have a warlock unit it must be at least 3 models. You must have 2 troops and currently one have one.

Thanks for the comments.

I do agree taking out maugen ra and rather putting in a counter assault squad makes sense (i would prob prefer banshees over harlies. i will see if i cant tinker and fit them in a WS). I do however have two troops as 10x WG count as troop plus rangers. The idea of this list is to be TERRIBLY frustrating for your opponent! when deployed correctly the rangers have 2+ cover save and start shooting from beginning of the game. The lords kite around in the back with pot shots. Im not a fan of the WL sword and IMO the WL should only be in CQC to take out the last IC in a squad or last minute measures... . Personally having played with WG and being attacked by SW, the enhance hugely trips up the enemy, but also agree to not that much affect only (1 save-able ) attack. But having banshees counter attack after units get tied up with WG would be FAR better than Maugen.. I will remove the single Lock from the Seer as he is not necessary anyways. That makes a legal list and much more sense. thanks guys.
