The title says it all. Wondering if this is the dirtiest I can get into 2000 points....

Windrider host

Farseer - bike, spear, spirit stone.

Warlock conclave. 4x warlocks on bikes

3x scatter bikes.

3x scatter bikes.

3x shuriken cannon bikes

2x Vypers. Dual cannons, ghostwalk, holo fields.

Wraith construct
Wraithknight. 2x wraith cannons.

Wraith construct
Wraithknight. 2x wraith cannons, 2x lasers

Wraith construct
Wraithknight. Suncannon and scatter shield. 2x star cannons

Wraith construct
Wraithknight. Ghost glaive and scatter shield. 2x lasers.

1998 points in total...... Disgusting?

And I know one wraithknight isn't optimal with just two cannons. But that's how he was in 6th.

All of the people. All of the people will cry at this. No way to find the points to bump the bikes up to five per squad? Leadership tests could end up hurting very badly.

Can WK fire more than 2 weapons now? I thought I checked for this under the gargantuan creature rules, but I can easily have missed something, or is it a change in how monstrous creatures work in 7th?

Since you are making this list as nasty as possible. Would it not make more sense to roll with 1 warlock and 1 Dual Cannon viper with no upgrades. If you can somehow get another farseer or more bikes I think that might be worth dropping some scatter lasers from your knights or whatever. I don't have the codex with me so I can't run the numbers to check before I make this comment.

Not strong enough.
The WK have too less damage output and can get stuck in cc.
Its a large portion of your army that looks scary but isn't.

3 invisible bloodthirsters walk into a bar. You wont see where im going with this.....

Not strong enough? I've seen a lot of comments on new eldar lists from yourself. Not one I've seen has been positive. “not strong enough"? The knight alone lay out 4 D strength shots, 3 s6 ap 2 blasts and 20 S6 shots, 4 of which are AP2. And as for combat, they have 4/5 attacks at S10. S10 HoW, and stomp. They'll be fine.

Well volume of fire on a knight can be a little low. Not that you would ever use it to fire on a space marine squad, but if you did, a WK with 2x wraithcannons will only kill 1 space marine on average. Also, it's no good anti-air. (But if you do manage two 6's in a row, good bye storm raven.)

They can certainly kill tough stuff, but I don't think you'll be rolling enough dice to take out the core of an army. How many Space Marines can a WK kill per turn? I haven't calculated but I don't think it's enough to actually win a game. That's why a good cheesy Eldar army should have a decent core of Jetbikes.

Well, the suncannon knight can kill most of a squad a turn. But I do see your point. I have 3 squads of bikes that collectively unleashed 33 S6 shots. The vypers add another 12 for 45 on total. And there's always the chance the stone wielding seer will roll up eldritch storm.....

Seer also helps with reroll to hits.

How easy is it to get the Glaive WK into assault? I would think the best counter would be to small crappy units in front of targets you don't want him to assault, or to kite him if you can.

Well, being a jump gargantuan creature it's not ridiculously difficult. But people could 'annoy' it.

to boost the bike numbers, I would just have 1 shoulder weapon on each knight (you need 1 simply to shoot at a close unit you want to assault while shooting the big guns elsewhere...although the sword knight doesn't need this). Drop the warlock to single and 1 Vyper. Bikes can now be bumped.

Not nearly as bad as everyone says it is.
