So im going to have the Squad of 6 Jetbikes probably reserved with a Warlock guard to hopefully give them 2+ Jink Saves. Knights + OP unit kill stuff, Wave Serpents hide behind cover and shoot stuff.

Personally, I'd break up the 6x biker unit into 2x3 units instead. Their goal is to hide and pick up objectives at the end of the game, with the occasional objective grab in between if it's safe. I wouldn't want to risk them in an offensive role because you can fail Conceal or it might get denied. Also, putting them into catapult range is also putting them in harm's way, despite your assault moves. I really don't like putting them at risk in an offensive role because if it comes down to a wraithknight or the deathstar, as an opponent, I'd rather kill the unit which is easier to kill, which would be the bikers or wave serpents. Don't give me that opportunity.

So besides the Jetbikes it looks good?

Not much substance if you ask me.
The Council plus the WKs have to do all the work.

Pretty much lol

Do you think that those units will be point inefficient? Do you think other larger unit count Eldar Lists are more viable? I think this is a really interesting discussion that I dont have an answer for today.
