So after looking through the Eldar codex. I have decided on my list. I have always loved Iyanden and the new models makes it so much better. Of course with the supplement around the corner as well. This is what I have made. Its a 1500 points list and its fluff with a competitive side to it.

Spiritseer
Spiritseer

Wraithguard x8
Wraithguard x8
Wraithblades x8

Wraithlord: x2 Scatter lasers, Glaive
Wraithlord: x2 Scatter lasers, Glaive
Wraithknight: Scatter laser

This might change of course when the Iyanden supplement comes out. This is the base for it so far.

I would drop 1 spirit seer and add a farseer.

The wraith knight cant shoot both cannons and the scatter laser. So you're paying a lot to twin link 1 of them; when you could be hitting with both.

The lords can drop 1 SL each; possibly pick up a bright lance or a shuri cannon, or a star cannon for some added killing power.

What are the wraithblades armed with? Axes or Swords? Axes makes a brutal CC unit (yes initiative 1 but S7 AP2 with a 4+ invuln) and make a good invulnerable bunker for the spirit seer.

I like the idea and am running something similar at 2k; but i think some refinement is in order.

Thanks for the reply.

The idea with the scatter laser on the Knight was more for some added infantry killing shots. I don't plan on using it to t-l the cannons on him. I like the idea of both Scatter lasers on the lords. That's 8 ST6 shots. I just like that a lot. Easy to kill transports and light infantry. The blades are the swords. I just like the look of them over all. I know the Inv. save would be awesome for them, but I don't have the extra points for one thing and the swords look so cool.

Axe/invuln save is free (as you lose 1 attack and become unwieldy). The only guard/blade upgrade that costs points is the D-scythes.

A problem I see is that this army is very slow. With the Wraithknight being your only mobile unit you will have problems reaching priority targets.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Still going from memory as my dex has not arrived.

Well I really don't see that as being an issue. They can run and shoot so that's fine.

Thanks for the reply's keep them coming.

They can't run and shoot, they don't have Battle Focus.

Oh. I thought it was army wide, Interesting. Well I guess back to the drawing board. I guess this is what I get for doing this from memory.

Thanks for pointing that out.

All the living Eldar have it...except Dark Reapers weirdly. I know Dark Reapers couldn't use it anyway but neither can jetbikes and they have it.

Yeah I didn't pay to much attention to who had it. Just saw the rule assumed they all had it. That's what I get for assuming. :/

I guess the jet bikes have it because of the guardians that drive them. *shrugs*
