Decided to collect a new army to diversify myself from my Tyranids force. Incidentally if i field the following i can host a Hive fleet Kraken re-enactment all by myself.

Total Cost: 2000 (on the nose!)

Iyanden Eldar

HQs: 385
Spiritseer
Spiritseer, Spear of Teuthlas
Wraithseer, D-cannon

Troops: 580
5 Wraith Guard, D-Scythes
5 Wraith Guard, D-Scythes
5 Wraith Guard

Heavy: 530
Wraithknight
Wraithlord, 2x Flamers, Ghostglaive, 2x Scatter Lasers
Wraithlord, 2x Flamers, Ghostglaive, 2x Scatter Lasers

Dark Eldar Allies

HQ: 170

Troops: 210
3 Wracks, Venom, Dual Cannons, Night Shield
3 Wracks, Venom, Dual Cannons, Night Shield

Heavy: 125
Ravager, Flicker Field, Night Shield

I've considered replacing the standard Wraith Guard (160pts) with 4 Trueborn + venom + blasters(163pts) but it puts me at a weird point total.

The plan is to attach the Haemos to the Venom Wracks and bring the wraith army out into mid field via the webway portals. With the spirit seers attached to the wraith guard, D-scythes are bulky so I can't put them in a raider. My plan for fliers is simply to drown them in scatter laser fire and hope for the best.

Bulky means they take up 2 spaces instead of 1, you can take 5 d-scythe WG in a raider.

As for the rest of the army it looks fun, you lack AA but otherwise close up you should do fine.

Good luck.

Only thing I would suggest changing would be maybe change 1 scatter laser on each wraightlord to a star cannon to take advantage of the laser lock on an AP2 weapon with the same range?

I think trueborns in a venom with 2 splinter cannons on the venom and 2 on the trueborns would make any MC cry and would be hilarious i think for about 100 points or less if my memory serves me properly with a squad of 3-5..

Both those options sound good, especially the starcannon so i have more turn 1 armor popping power.

As for the trueborn venoms i might field that just for the look of horror on my friends face when he fields Dreadknights.
