The idea here is to basically stay safe turn one, then hit hard turn 2 with the air support and everything being in position. The WWP Haemy would DS in with the blades for pressure and herding. I haven't had a chance to use Wraithguard yet so i'm a bit unsure how effective they would be in the Raiders. I may have to upgrade to scythes and drop the venom warriors. Im unsure where to put the Seer though, this list is just sort of a jumping off point that seems fun to play. I have used DE for a while now so i'm pretty comfy playing with those elements but the Wraiths have me a bit unsure.

Anything glaring i'm missing, style or list?

wraithguard are GREAT in raiders!

my suggestion would be to drop the dark lances as you'll probably be jinking a lot once your opponent realizes whats in the raiders. do the wraithguard have d-scythes? they should.

2 units of kabalites walking is pretty useless IMO I'd drop a squad to put another in a venom. mobility is key.

wraithblades should be in a raider since it's an assault transport. put enhanced eathersails on it for a 24' flat out.

WK would be better suited with d cannons unless you're facing heavy infantry.

Thanks for the reply! I figured they would be pretty nasty in the raiders. It slipped my mind to put the blades in one though, that would be nice. Maybe drop the venom squad to pay for the scythes, put one scythe and the blades in raiders then DS the 2nd scythe squad?

As for the other stuff, I'm hesitant to rock a D-cannon Knight since my group is pretty casual, I would for sure for a tourney though. As for the foot sloggers, I know they aren't the greatest but they are tax at this point and possible back field objective holders likely face down in the dirt all game. Points are just too tight with that Wraith formation.

Editing the OG list.

if you're going for a fun themed list try making all of the guard blades and putting them all in raiders with ethersails. that should cut down on a lot of points.

keep the WK the same. add a ghost glaive and flamers on the lord.

I like the double blade idea, very in your face! Thoughts on kit? Swords vs. axes/shield? The raider will give some nice survivability with speed and cover so I'd lean towards swords for choppiness.

oh yea, I'd def go with swords. dont need the added survivability of tyhe shields since they're in a raider that can jink. assault out with swords for extra killy. save your points for something else (venom)
