So I have a tournament this weekend and I made the following list as a semi competitive list hoping to do well but not be that guy...

So without further ado,

Hqs
Eldrad-205
Spiritseer with stone of anathan-85

Troops
Wraithguard x9 with d scythes-378
jetbikes-51
jetbikes-51
jetbikes-51

Fast
Crimson hunter exarch-180
Swooping hawks x6-96

Comes out to 1097 even,

Thanks for all C&C (just keep in mind I will NOT take wave serpents).

Are you going Iyanden? Voice of twilight+d scythes is pretty brutal. Combine that with a good chance to get protect and you are looking at a tough unit! Eldrad is nasty if you just roll for broke on telepathy trying to score invis. With his ability to regen warp charge you usually have enough juice to invis the squad and get a couple extra powers off.

Should be very solid, but you don't have much killing power or board presence...but should be fun!

Yeah, i'm going Iyanden warlord trait on the spiritseer, hoping for unit FnP or D3 re rolls.

I'm hoping for ideally invisibility and gate of infinity with VoT, chances are really low but if I can it will be death incarnate.

As for killing presence I'm not very worried about it, turn 1 I will have to suck up the hits but turn 2 I should be doing some damage!

Lastly just want to ask if the jetbikes are worth it as late game objective grabbers, or am I just giving away free kill points.

I think you might be stuck with Eldrad as your warlord, and his trait is not terrible, but you would have to get another Ld10 HQ or a wraithlord/knight to get Iyanden traits.

The jetbikes are not as critical as they used to be now that everything scores. You could drop 2 of the squads for another squad of 6 hawks or 5 spiders. They can grab objectives reasonably well, but actually kill stuff...

I think jet bikes have a new element of surprise.

Enemy has an objective in the back right corner, guarded by a squad of devastators. In his mind, Hes safe. Hes got it secured, and his oppoent has no enemy near him.
Last turn the jet bikes race out and not only contest that objective but SCORE it for you. Definitively nice imo.
