Excellent advice! and what about if the OP doesn't play against D.E?

Anyway, the list. While it is true that high strength low AP weapons and also mass poison will blow you away, it's probably best to lose at unit of Wraithguard as they are costing way too much.

I would ditch the Dark Reapers are they are shockingly gak, and replace them with another Wraithlord. The EML and BL are too expensive, ditch them and get scatter lasers. You can easily glance vehicles to death with those and get buckets of shots.

well both squads of wraithguard will have fortune and the wraithseer will have fnp so its not like itll be easy even for DE to kill

And well the only dark eldar player is my father and we don't don't play at my flgs alot and even then I use them almost as often as him and I don't have another wraithlord and I always use ml bl so I'm probably not changing that! I think I might find a way to ally in some kabalitez tho!

I agree with Mercer that one WG unit will suffice. Get some EJBs or guardians instead (Or betteryet, ally in som DEs) take a squad of harlies, that way you can change conceal to enhance in the WG unit.

The WG unit must have a spiritseer to count as troops and Id take a spear instead of the witchblade.

The Dark Reaper exarch is much better at babysitting the Aegis than the Pathfinders. Atleast for the first rounds where you can intercept with the gun in your opponents phase and then shoot in your own with the tempest. 4 BS 5 str 7 shots that ignore cover? Mucho Neato!

While I appreciate the comments I really would like to keep all the wraithguard I think I'm gonna drop the reapers and the pathfinder upgrades and ally in 2 10 man units of kabalites and a cheap hq?

Double post Dx sorry I'm on phone

Haemonculus would be great for a cheap HQ.

Although the Dark Reaper Exarch is fantastic against just about anything I think Starcannon's and Scatterlaser's on the Wraithlord's would do a similar job.

Well, then model count is too low. Wraithguard is very situational. They take a walk towards the enemy and hope to make some damage and survive. That's not even fun to play.

I'd consider a list with more synergy: Eldrad, Avatar, 10 Wraithguard, Dire Avengers or Guardians walking in the Avatar's fearlessness bubble, Wraithlords, Warwalkers, and Harlies for counter-strike.

Glaring issue with the list is only 3 troops and all of them not being terribly mobile (pathfinder infiltrate is nice, but they are a set and forget).

The wraithgaurd won't be terrible thanks to the Wraithseer's FNP, but they still aren't great. You'll prob want to drop the Reapers and grab some harlies to walk behind the wraithguard to intimidate/counter charge..

BlueDagger is right. Play this army a few times and you'll see it has some glaring weaknesses.

Agreed. I think Bluedagger is right. Only three troops will hurt. Maybe add in a small Dire avenger squad to back up the wraithguard. Or perhaps a guardian squad to get another heavy weapon in there.

Also, a good counter assault unit to help out the wraithguard if they get stuck in combat would be nice.

Harlies and WG are a good pair.
