You might have some issues with flyers as two ScatterKnights and 4 TL-Brightlances aren't going to be enough to deal with aerial units. And once your troops are out of the Transports(unless you have Protect on them) they are Turkeybait.

How do you feel about swapping in some Dakkaserpents?

Remember the Wraithknight can only fire 2 weapons, so currently you've bought 2 extra weapons that he can't fire.

Best build is either stock or Sun Cannon and one Scatter Laser.

Hmm... you might want to consider a Spiritseer with these guys and changing them back to Ghostblades. Three S6 AP3 attack per Wraith on the charge. But what about terminators? JINX MAKES TERMINATORS CRY. But what if you don't get Jinx/whocares or you're just fighting regular 3+ save dudes? Then DRAIN those noobs so you're not only hitting before they do, but killing them so they can't deal as many wounds back.

Wait, where's the AA? You need some sort of AA, even a quadgun or friendly flier. At least one. And guess what? With the points you'd save from taking out a Wraithknight (280) you can get both a Quadgun and a Crimson Hunter Exarch. Then, if you change the remaining Wraithknight back to its standard equipment (which is really good), you'd have enough to fiddle other things as you see fit.

Honestly, the Wraithknight is best in its standard configuration. The two S10 AP2 shots, when coupled with a Farseer on a Jetbike (for moving around from unit to unit) can deal heavy blows to tanks and terminators alike. A unit of 5 terminators, two HWC shots, one terminator dies, unload some shuriken shots into it, kill another, then charge with the WK and kill off the rest, taking maybe a wound or three in the process. But wait, who cares about wounds, you have RENEWER, which MAKES YOUR OPPONENT CRY. It's like a slightly less sucky It Will Not Die.

Remember that your WK gets a S10 HoW attack. It's AP-, but as someone else said, a S10 AP- hit at initiative 10 is never a bad way to start off a combat.

Ggrrr ... whoops ... over looked the multiple weapons on the Wraithknights, and the rule for only being able to fire two of them = the idea was to hit a target (flyers) first with the laser-locks and then gain the twin linked effect from the primary wespons ... well, at least that will be 80 points shaved from the list - Spirit Stones perhaps again on the Wave Serpents.

I like this, but I think the points you've spent on upgrading the wave serpent would be better spent on D-scythes.

I really don't think that the wraithguard are particularly good for close combat. Really, there are much better CC units in the Eldar codex and I wouldn't expect this unit to win a CC that often. The D-scythes are better in every respect.

Now beside the fact that you've got too many weapons, this is like 600 points. My vote would be to downgrade to 3 Wraithlords with heavy weapons and still have points to spare.
