Hey guys, so exciting to get the new codex today. After having a good read it's obvious which units are better than others. I particularly love the new fire prism's cannon options (S9 AP1 Lance? Yes please) and jetbikes/wave serpents/warp spiders are also great. I've always had a soft spot for Iyanden so I tried to incorporate that in the list (couldn't justify using Yriel even though I wish I could as I think the whole list needs to be tailored around him). If anyone has any questions about the new codex let me know.

Spiritseer - 70
Farseer (Singing Spear) - 105

5x Wraithguard (Wraithcannon) - 160
Wave Serpent (T-L SL, T-L ShuriCan) 130

What do you guys think about the new codex? Any units that stand out that I'm missing out on?

Why are you taking 2 spiritseers? Surely a farseer would be better for one of them?

Good point, updated list to include a farseer and dropped spiders to 8

No problem. This seems to be the new list people are leaning toward. Wraithguard/blades, Warp Spiders, Jetbikes and 3 of the any of the awesome heavy support. Can't wait to see how these lists work!

I really like the D-scythes on the guard - lots of fun to be had raping TEQ's, extra 50 points is a bit excessive though. Would probably field them and some blades in a higher points list.

Also disappointed in the wraithknight's cost, but I'm glad I won't have to buy one to be competitive because they look ridiculous.

Wouldn't be better to give a Wraith unit the Scythe cannon?. I think it'll allow you to deal with Hordes easily. Also, Holofields are a must now, because it raises the survivability of the poor AV12 (and if you add Ghostwalk Matrix, you can even shoot from inside cover without the need of moving your vehicle)

Holofields are a better buy for fire prisms than shuriken cannons - you do not want to be anywhere close to the enemy with those tanks.

Thanks guys, would spirit stones be as important?

I think they are, because it allows you to Ignore effects, meaning you'll still be able to shoot.

Updated. I could potentially drop a prism to beef up spiders/jetbikes etc.

The upgrade cost is for the entire unit, not per model.
