Farseer and Maugan Ra both go in the harlies unit, giving buffs to themselves and maybe to the Prisms and unloading the Uldanorethi, the Shrieker, and the Maugetar at range with splitfire. The Shadowseer prevents anyone from shooting at them at range. The Windriders are reserved and then hiding, the warp spiders deep strike to get rear armour/behind the aegis, etc. and then stay on the move. Prisms move around to keep up their 4+ cover and keep shooting lanes lined up, and unload at range. The only 'anti tank' I have really is the Fire Prisms. What do you think I am missing here? Almost everything is pumping out S6 or better shots, it has a backfield of ranged firepower, and a forward element to get rear armour/contest objectives/harass, and very mobile troops for late game grabs. Also, in 2 of the 6 game missions, I have 3 extra scoring units. Am I too light on troops? What would you do to make this list better?

A side note, I own literally zero of these models. My wife plays a all Wraith army, and I am going to proxy this one against her to see if I can prove that high T, slow moving badassery isn't always the only option. Then maybe she will try out some of the other Eldar units.

Edit: A sample of her units:
4+ Spiritseers
Avatar
occasionally a Farseer

5 to 10 man units of wraithguard (some d-scythes, some wraith cannons)
5 to 10 man units of wraithblades (usually ghost axes)

Wave serpents for whoever wants 'em.

2 or 3 Wraithlords, usually packing Brightlance/Starcannon or Brightlance/Scatter laser
2 or 3 War Walkers with double Scatter lasers

She rarely takes any fortifications, and never any flyers or wraithknights. Most of the time it ends up with me fighting wave serpents all day, but every time you kill one, instead of a prize in the cracker jack box, its full of death. with 1 or 2 Spirit Seers per Wraithguard/blade unit, they usually have Protect (2+ armour saves for her T6 models) Quicken (+3 run inches), and often Voice of Twilight (battle focus for wraith units). She usually outflanks the walkers to get side/rear or get behind walls/fortifications and chew through whoever is left by the time they come in. She tables me by turn 4 about 50% of the time. :(

Making a hard counter list to support your arguement against your wife? Hope you like the couch...

lol
She has won literally 50 out of the last 60 games or so. I have to do something!

Why don't you just nuke her with Guardian blobs?

Add in the avatar and all that bladestorm + 2x starcannons per squad will do nicely.

Or take 1-2 hunters with starcannons.

Wraith will disintegrate.

Why not just take a DE list and laugh? Or a Tau army and blow her away? Eldar on Eldar must be pretty dull. Or take a properly competitive Eldar list rather than this sort of mess. You're claiming S6 spam but this really isn't that. For S6 spam I was expecting 30 Warp Spiders, 9 War walkers, SL+ShuriCannon Serpents etc.

Something like this is S6 spam:

Farseer: jet bike, Mantle 155

5 DA: Serpent: HF, SL, ShC 210
5 DA: Serpent: HF, SL, ShC 210

10 Warp Spiders 190
9 Warp Spiders 171
9 Warp Spiders 171

3 War walkers: SL+ShC 195
3 War walkers: SL+ShC 195

That list has 112 S6 shots which you can twin link nearly all of between laser lock Guide & Prescience. Compare with the 47 S6 shots your list has. It also has potentially 70 S7 shots against Vehicles. Granted this list has literally no way to deal with AV14. But if S6 spam is what you want for a more rounded all comers list you switch it to double BL war walkers dropping a Warp Spider and a ShC from a Serpent. Perhaps splitting into 3 units of 2, giving one unit SL and Starcannon.

In a way I must agree with flingitnow. not sure what list your taking against her but in my experience wraith lists aren't that hard to beat. They are very similar to grey knights, too few models. Most compettive marine lists are able to deal with wraiths as well.

the list you propose may not do any better.

What do you normally run?

well, scince there has really been no actaual advise to the lsit poasted.... the longrifle is not worth it. i would drop the exarch on the spdiers for anotehr guy. I would also take out the harlie unit and buff characters because agaisnt wraith it isnt worth it. In its place i would add a mantle sear, and maybe some waveserpents
