Which loadout is the best for the wraithknight so that I can use it often and to great advantage?
I want to know this so that I can model it accordingly...

Thank you

I would personally say the suncannon, shield and one scatter laser. That way you aren't paying for a laser you can't fire and you have an invuln. The sword is a bit of a waste of points imo.

If you want to waste tanks use the two wraithcannons but imo a wraithlord with two bright lances will do that better for cheaper. Unless you run into a BT land raider with blessed hull....

I am thinking two heavy wraith cannons and one scatter laser, scatter laser purely for snap shots but I do plan on doing a full on wraithguard army so more for fluff then anything.

Otherwise, probably the scatter laser and suncannon,

You can't snap shot 3rd and 4th weapons on a MC can you? I thought it was just fire 2.

Anyway with laser lock you would have to fire the Laser first.

I'm going 1 with scatterlaser, shield and suncannon and 1 with the sword, shield and two starcannons.

The second isn't efficient use of points, but its going to look good

If you are going for a pure wraith list, I would still suggest the suncannons.

2 wraithlords with bright lances plus wraithguard and serpents should be able to handle the anti tank while all you will have for anti infantry would be the suncannon, hemlocks and d scythes on the guard.

Um, unless the Wraithknight has a special rule that lets him fire a 3rd/4th weapon you cannot shoot more than 2. Its an MC, which is limited to two guns a phase, not a vehicle which can fire everything.

I'd laugh my ass off if that thing was a huge walker instead of an MC, given the current meta being armor values suck.

An ork with an idea tends to end with a bang.

It seems that others have come to the same conclusion: the Suncannon and Scatterlaser is the only sensible combination. It is expensive as hell, but at least it brings something that can't be easily replicated by other, cheaper units.

I am not going to run a wraith list as cool as it may sound since I would like to run jetbikes in my list as well and other things.

I am not exactly sure what is what weapon since I am new to eldar. So which one for the back mounted weapons and which one for the arms - i probably wont use the sword at this rate and might just place it in the ground fo decoration as if it has stabbed through a space marine or something...

I thinknit may be possible to model it with the sword and shield whilst it has the two arm mounted weapons as well - i think that means the sun cannon has to be used on the aegis defence line instead then. :(
