Hey just brain storming some Eldar for a potential army. Looking for opinions. Here is what I am thinking:

Spiritseer

Troop:
5x Wraithguard
- Wave Serpent (Scatter Lasers, Holofields, Shuri Cannon)

5x Wraithguard
- Waver Serpent (Scatter Lasers, Holofields, Shuri Cannon)

9x Dire Avengers
- Waver Serpent (Scatter Lasers, Holofields, Shuri Cannon)

3x Guardian Jet Bikes
- 1x Shuri Cannon

3x Guardian Jet Bikes
- 1x Shuri Cannon

Fast:
10x Warp Spiders

Heavy:
Fire Prism (Holofield)

Fire Prism (Holofield)

Wraithknight

Really would like to hear some thoughts. This is a truly well rounded army and yet saturation exists throughout the list. Both AV and AI are taken care of in a variety of ways. The list also has the potential to play differently every time.

Is there anything I am missing?

Thoughts before it gets buried?

I like it, though if you are mounting up Wraithguard, a unit of Wraithscyths could be devastating.

I would potentially drop the Spiders and a Fire Prism, to pick up another Wraithknight, upgrade the Aventers to more Wraighguard, and try to find points for the Wraithscythes. Keeps the great mobility and a definite early threat army.

Just my 2cents.

Is there a particular reason why you want the Dire Avengers more than Guardians? You'd save 27 points by taking a 10 man Guardian squad instead, which you could put into a weapon platform of any kind or put towards something else.

Yeah, the Dire Avengers have some decent perks (Counter Attack!) and the better SV, LD, and range than a Guardian, but depending on how you use them, those differences might not matter much.

Wraithscythes are the CC wraiths? Are they good? I was using the stock Wraithguard as objective capturing, Fire Dragon replacements; which are obviously good at killing just about anything.

I included the spiders and the DAs for horde/AI control. No need? DA over guardians because it appears to me that they have a more focused role and that is why I included them. Originally i have guardians but I am putting stock in the longer range catapults used by the DA.

The Fire Prisms are there for saturation but I imagine two Knights would be devastating (and would look freaking awesome on the tabletop!)

More 2 cents please.

I really like the direction of the codex and want to jump in but will only do it if i like my plan.

Wraithscythes is a term people use for Wraithguard with D-Scythes. D-Scythes are great close range destroyers-of-all-things. They also make your unit of Wraithguard nearly un-assaultable as you'll be laying down nD3 Distort hits on anyone that tries.

Well that sounds like all sorts of awesome.
