I have a large tourney coming up in November and need to get the force together and get some games in - struggling with the list though.

Very keen to ensure i have 1-2 wraith knights in the list as i have found the single very good and 2 all but invulnerable in most games. Other than that, i can buy and build as needed...

At this stage I am thinking...

Farseer, Mantle, singing spear, jet bike

2x6 Wind Riders, 2 SC per unit

2x Wraithknight w HWC

at the core - its 884 total here.

I like the idea of adding warp spiders/crimson hunters/dire avengers to round it out nicely then adding allies (Tau? maybe) to utilise some extra tricks.

Any ideas and help welcome!

Good list. Love the idea of the 2 wraithknights! One thing though, I would give the wraithknights each 1 scatter laser just so that the HWC's are pretty much TL. Also you may want to add some rangers because they are great in little squads of 5 shooting stuff down when they hide in cover(Aegis Defence line is the way to go).

Main issue is that you can only fire 2 weapons - i would rather fire 2 HWC than 1 which is TL. That said, the farseer is there for guide and prescience on the pair of them so laser lock is a non issue.

I have plenty of rangers and can add them no worries - i like to have 5 just to be annoying...

I am half considering a footdar list with more bikes, walkers and spiders

I would also love to be able to get the crimson hunter to work well...

Missing anti infantry here, but that's what DE are for! Choice between splinter boat of 10 in boat with splinter wracks or 5 in a venom with blaster. Then there is this horribly evil unit that's the dukes splinterborn. 5 trueborn in a venom with 2 cannons and 3 carbines, all of which wounds on 3's. Nasty. I would add a unit of reavers (GREAT!) or scourges with haywire blasters to preference and im going out on a limb and am going to suggest a Talos. All that high T will really scare most armies.

So the allied detachment would look something like

Duke
5 trueborn in venom w/ cannon with 2 cannons 3 carbines
5 warriors in venom w/ cannon and blaster OR 10 warriors in raider w/ splinter wracks, nightshields and cannon
6 reavers with 2 heatlances + champ with V.Blade
Talos

Lots of anti infantry, so the eldar part can load up on fire prisms and crimson hunters all they want, that horde isn't getting anywhere past 49(59!) splinter shots a turn + the reavers turbo boasting.
