Here is an Iyanden list that I have been toying with. My questions are regarding competitiveness and general comments and criticism.

HQ

3x Spiritseer

Troops

Ranger x 5

Ranger x 5

Wraithguard with D-cannon x 5, Wave Serpent with BL and HF

Wraithgurad with D-Scyth x 5 , Wave Serpent with BL, HF

Wraithgurad with D-Scyth x 5 , Wave Serpent with BL, HF

Fast Attack

Warp Spider x 5

Heavy Support

Wraithlord with 2x BL, Flamers, GG

Wraithlord with 2x BL, Flamers, GG

Wraithknight with Scattter Laser

Total = 2000 exactly

So Wraithknight is my warlord obviously. Pretty straight forward list though but your thoughts will be appreciated.

Your running a spiritseer for each WG squad? Voice of twilight is really good for all wraiths, but don't count out the other powers as well and even telepathy.

You have 3 durable scoring units, so you may want to consider dropping one squad of rangers for a bit more killing power.

Serpents really need TL scatter lasers over lances. Your heavy support should deal with heavy armor easy enough. In a pinch, each wraith squad can do it.

The wraithknight does not need a scatter laser, but should probably use the cannons each turn. Since you are running the WK as your warlord, get a wraithforge stone for one of your spiritseers. Keep the seer's serpent nearby so you can heal em on a 3+ each turn!

Thanks for the response. Yes, the 3 spiritseers are for the WG squads. By removing a squad of rangers to get more killing power should I use those points towards more warp spiders? Can't get more WG per squad cause then they can't fit in the WS. I am originally a Dark Eldar player so my WS have BL on them because I am use to my transport having DL haha. You recommend the TL SL on the WS to accomplish more anti troop? I agree I have a lot of anti tank so that makes sense. The best advice is the for sure the wraithforge stone. Gonna need to check that out for sure!! Any other comments, does this look like a pretty standard competitive Iyanden list?

I know you can't fit in any more wraithguard, but yes rangers for warp spiders is a good fix. You can even split for a bit more of each! Point is, you should be OK on objectives.

I laughed at the lance comment! Very true! However, the scatter laser twin links the serpent shield should you need to shoot it. It also twin links chin shuricannons but you are going catapults. Both choices have merit, really just preference. S6 dakka is just a good TAC shooting. You have the nice S8 lance in the heavy and S10 guns/d weapons left and right, so that dakka covers plenty of bases.

A good friend of mine in my meta runs a foot version of your list, and yes it looks standard.

You should take a maximum of one Spiritseer with Wraithforge stone. Three are superfluous.

Drop the rangers for min bike squads.

Drop the WL for a second Wraithknight.

Fixed.

Thanks for your help. I got another list potentially

Where does this stack up to my previous list? I find pathfinders very freaking cool.

Switch BL on Wave Serpents to Scatterlaser and Shuriken Cannon. It ups their killing power against light infantery, your achillies heel.

That was a brain fart on my part. Wave serpents will be equipped with scatter lasers and holo field. My mistake.

how come illic? he will hit every time, but wounds only half. and thats also dumping even more points into troops that dont really need any more survivability, they should be good.

I enjoy the pathfinders rules-stealth and shrouded with 100% precision shots. Just seems pretty cool. I'll play test with them and see if they are worth their points. They may not be but their rules seem to spice up the list a little. Illic is in there for no other reason than to make pathfinders available and for his infiltrate special rule allowing the pathfinders to deep strike to his position.

Nice list I expected to see 2-3 wraithknights when i saw you thread. I personally would go with more warp spiders over the pathfinders. let us kow how they perform for you.
