The only units I'm feeling a bit iffy about are the spiders and rangers otherwise I think this is all good
Scythes kill assault/hoard units, Wraithcannons' kill Monsterous creatures/TEQ, Spiritseer buffs stuff and heavy support provides dakka aplenty.

I personally feel that the scythes wraiths need transports. Theres enough units out there that will either make you take large number of saves or just outright ignores them (sternguard with combi weapons/ hellfire rounds for example

I would say drop both prisims and war walkers and buy all your wraith guard units wave serpents with scatter lasers and chin cannons, swap spirit seer for far seer and give him jet bike mantle of laughing god and you will be mobile and alot of dakka.

hope this helps!

Footslogging is a slow way to die. I'd take one or two WG units in Serpents and add to more Serpents with Guardians or Avengers.

I think you should lose the Warp Spider Exarch, since if you'll roll doubles when warp jumping there is a chance he'll die. Small chance - maybe, but nevertheless a big loss when it happens.

Definitely ignore the advice about swapping the spiritseer for a farseer with mantle. That would be a RIDICULOUS decision in this list unless you intend to carry out a complete overhaul, as it's the spiritseer making all your wraiths troops instead of elites. Stick with the spiritseer.

Foot slogging can work, but is very risky. I agree about serpents for them. Serpents are the work horse of an eldar army and for the price of your prisms and spiders you can take 3. I do love spiders thoug, they are a very good unit.

If you do take 3, consider your AT. You will only really have the wraithcaonnons and serpet shields. so AV 13/14 might be a minor issue. Personally I think you'll be ok. But if you're worried then you can allways take BL/BL on the war walkers. Also, if you decide to drop a single walker and the rangers, you could squeeze in a 4th serpent. Though it makes your list very mono. It's up to you, but those scythes need serpents at least. For them I'd instantly drop the prisms!

Thanks for the feedback,
I've decided to play a few games with the list I made and if mobility does prove to be an issue then I'll probably end up asking for serpents for Christmas (or the Jan student loan)
I'll probably end up making a new post for that so stay tuned :p

Sorry about the farseer idea i forgot about he makes wraithguard troops with the points maybe you can take two spirit seers?

I think you need transports badly other than that I like the list

drop spider exarch for another guy for the squad.
