So the idea behind this list is to simply run around with a bunch of Wraithguard and hopefully have some fun while (possibly) winning games...Low KP count and good opportunity for support powers. Hopefully GW FAQs it so Iyanden can ally with Eldar, then I would have 2 Farseers in the list for Fortune =(.

Unless you're running a 10 model Wraithstar buffed out the ying yang, I would drop the squads to 5(or 6 model if the Spiritseers aren't riding along) squads and put them in Wave Serpents. T6 and a 3+ armour save doesn't mean squat in this meta. Your units will drop like flies without proper support!

I would change all to WG with cannons, drop serpents, and make them all 10 strongs, hope for protect for 2+ As on WG.

Also maybe drop WK for 2 WLs with two SL.

I have to second the notion that wraithguard are not very sturdy. They are sturdy enough, but still very expensive and the list is low on wounds.
A food-wraith list might work with a wraithseer and a regular seer or two for a bunch of nice buffs, but that would be one big unit.
To that big unit I'd still add two 5 droid units with serpents. Being able to move forward 30" and then get out with the S10 DS2 weapons is really nice.


I've been playing Iyanden primary lists a lot recently. This is what I do now for 2k:

2 HQ
1 Farseer, Mantle, Jetbike
1 Spiritseer

4 Troops
5 Wraithguards + Serpent, TL Scatterlaser, Shurikencannon, Holofield
5 Wraithguards + Serpent, TL Scatterlaser, Shurikencannon, Holofield
5 Wraithguards + Serpent, TL Scatterlaser, Shurikencannon, Holofield
5 Wraithguards + Serpent, TL Scatterlaser, Shurikencannon, Holofield

2 Support
Wraithknight, Suncannon, Scatterlaser
Wraithknight

That is 1985 points. Season to taste.

Fluffy Iyanden is pretty difficult under 1850 for me. Unless you want to ditch some WG for either Warp Spiders or a Guardian blob I think your list looks pretty good. I'd say for sure consider a farseer as a second HQ slot and potentially add in more D-Scythes. Normal Wraith Cannons are not all that scary unless against tanks/MCs. Hordes of Nids or Orks will give you fits. Yes you can tar pit them with T6 fearless troops... chances are that would probably screw up your game plan more than your opponents considering how many points you have in each unit. I hate to post a list in a thread about your list, but here is how I am planning to spend my tax return .

Farseer - Jetbike, Spirit Stone Anath'lan, Runes of Witnessing

Spiritseer
Spiritseer

20 Guardians - 2 Bright Lances

5 Wraith Guard - Wave Serpent w/ SL and Holofield

5 Wraith Guard - D-Scythes, Wave Serpent w/ SL and Holofield

3 Jetbikes
3 Jetbikes

7 Warp Spiders
7 Warp Spiders

Wraith Knight
Wraith Knight
2k but pretty easily scaled to 1850. Not so much 1750.

A little low on wraith units considering it's supposed to be fluffy, but I don't think people will mistake it for anything besides Iyanden.

Whatever you do will you please post some battle reports with it hahaha! I haven't seen many people rock WGs and they are IMHO one of the coolest models in the game.
