I recently purchased the Ghost Warriors box set (with added discount) and I have always loved the Forge World Wraithseer so I have decided to go on a fluffy modeling project that hopefully will not suck when actually being played. I have all the models below (apart from the Wraithseer) so I do not want to change to much, but additions and advice welcome.
HQ
Spiritseer (converted Iyanna Arienal) - 70 pts
Wraithseer with D-cannon - 235 pts
Troops (I have not glued these yet so can change)
5 Wraith Guard with wraith cannon - 160 pts
5 Wraith Guard with GA + FS - 160 pts
5 Wraith Guard with wraith cannon - 160 pts
Heavy Support (I have not glued these yet so can change)
Wraithlord twin BL, twin flamers, sword - 165 pts
Wraithlord twin BL, twin flamers, sword - 165 pts
Wraithknight - Suncannon, scatter shield and Scatter laser - 300 pts
I work this comes out to 1415 points, so any suggestions on the last 85 points?
Again if I want to increase this to 2000 points would people recommend as many Wave serpents as possible or another Wraithkniget and another unit of Wraithguard or even a couple of Wraithfighters?

Well, its fluffy but Iyanden armies are usually not really competitive.

Well I'm not super knowledgeable about Eldar I just started them but I would say get some wave serpents.
I like the ghost Warriors package it is good for low model count.
I would just take 2 groups of 5 wraithgguard and slap each of them in their own wave serpent.
I would also suggest magnetizing the wraithlords and the wraithknight it's easy lol
I like the loadouts for your wraithknight and the wraithlord but you might want to take 2 different loadouts but that's your call.
If you take wave serpents and what I said earlier you should be at about 1500 but if your not quite there you could take either
5 dire avengers for like 65 points or 3 jet bikes for 51 points which is really good points wise.

The wraithseer is a bit expensive for 1500, but having 4 T8 monsterous creatures is going to be tough for an opponent to crack. Consider dropping it for some more wraithguard or a couple of serpents.
5 man wraithguard teams work well in serpents. Either gun option, I usually take cannons to stay cost effective. Wraithblades are best in 10 man squads, so consider running a 10 man wraithblade unit and 5 man wraithguard with cannons in a serpent.
Do magnetize your lords, but always take double heavy guns. Dual lances is my favorite build, but scatter+scatter, and scatter+star are decent too.
I personally don't like the suncannon and shield on the knight. Yes it helps with horde control(Iyanden typically has a problem with this) but it is very expensive. Stock with cannons is the best, but magnetize and see which works best for you.
To hit 2k, get 10 wraithblades, mech up 5 man wraithguard squads, and consider additional spiritseers. You might also want a small squad of swooping hawks to help with horde control.

The most important rule of 40K-Page XVII of the 6th edition rulebook, the figure at the top right of the page. "Shake hands with your opponent and thank them for a good battle and fun experience." Then go out for a beer.
Shine bright like Iyanden |

Thanks for all the good advice, I think I will drop a unit of Wraithguard and with the spare points go for two Wave Serpents.
