I'm 2-0 with this list;

List A
Spiritseer - 70
6x 5 DA's in laser serpents w/shurki-cans (one has a catapult instead) - 1190
2x 5 dragons in laser serpents w/shurki-cans - 490

for 1750 on the dot, but I'm also considering:

List B
Spiritseer - 70
3x 5 DA's in laser serpents w/shurki-cans - 600
2x 5 wraithguard in laser serpents w/shurki-cans - 590
2x 5 dragons in laser serpents w/shurki-cans - 490

also 1750.

Less overall dakka for a harder punch. What do you guys think?

I prefer the second list slightly due to more durable troops if the game goes to 6+ turns, and also becase it has more heavy anti-tank to deal with large numbers of tough vehicles like a LR spam list, Dragons usually only get a tank per squad and that isn't enough if there are five land raiders on the other side of the board.

A, becasue it will dish out more damage turn 1+2, when it really counts. maybe have 3 fragon squads tho

List #2 is the better.

Only thing is AA could be a problem unless you plan on unloading all the serpents into it.

What I would do is TAKE OUT ALL THE SHURKIN CANNONS AND BUY ANOTHER SPIRITSEER SO BOTH YOUR WRAITHGUARD UNITS HAVE ONE, MWUHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

serpents actually do quite a number on air, youd be surprised

Yeah 7-8 Dakka Serpents should do enough AA. I prefer list 2 as it does better against more stuff and with MCs being so strong right now (and that's unlikely to change next month with Nids rumoured to be on the way) having Wraithguard is a good idea.

7 Dakka serpents would do well id imagine as aa units, only problem i forsee is fighting an ig tank line because your lack of AT on turn 1/2

Thanks for the responses!
So far I've found that the serpents can do AA decently, though air is going to be hard for any ground based eldar force.
The IG tank line and upcoming nid dex (along with the wraith knights and riptides) are excellent points and strong arguments for list B. I'll give it a go.
