In the large Wraith thread, I don't believe any effective solution was found for most codexes.

IIRC:
-An IK can tie them up for a short while and probably actually win, but will be badly damaged.
-TH/SS termies can hold them for a few rounds, and do a little damage.
-A handful of Dev squads can, over the course of a game, take down a Wraith unit. Lascannons or ML won't do much, but 3 squads of 4 heavy bolters will do some damage
-If you go full-MSU, the Wraiths will probably kill less than twice their points by the end of the game.
-Flyer spam, with just enough on the ground to prevent auto-loss before it comes in, won't get tabled by Wraiths alone.

So, basically, you can 'tarpit' them with double the points - with the Wraiths picking their tarpit usually - and hope the rest of your forces can hands 2-3x their points worth of other necrons.

Or you can devote your entire army to kill a few Wraiths, hope the enemy does nothing with the rest of their army and surviving wraiths.

Counters that actually work haven't been found for most armies yet.
