List is for my daughter - she loves the look of the wraith units, and wants to compete in a tournament coming up in a few months. So helping her prep a list that can stand a decent chance to win, while sticking to her aesthetics. Initially she didn't like the eldar vehicles, and really dosent like the non wraith units, (including farseer/warlock/spiritseer) but I've convinced her that the spirit seer is "the boss" and helps the wraiths, and the wave serpents are what gets her guys where they need to go. So please don't suggest bikes, seer units, aspects, avatars etc. But tweaking the load outs or unit mix is definitly an option

2000pts

Wraithhost
- spirit seer
Wraith knight (wraith cannons, scatter lazer star cannon )
Wraith lord, glaive, scatter, star.
5 wraith gaurd + wave serp w/scatters (spirit seer joins)
6 wraith gaurd w/ dscythes + wave serp " "
6 wraith blades w/ axe/shield + wave serp " "

Wraith construct
(Knight with glaive, 2x star cannon)

Wraith construct
(Lord with glaive, 2x star cannon )
=1997
Army has 3 tanks flying around, 2 lords, 2 Knights decent ranged D and str 6, but minimal psychic cheese and no scatbikes.
Hoping the list is not TOO beardy - but she is only 10 and will be facing players who have been in the game longer then She's been alive.
So I'm of the thought; give her the strongest hardest army possible and let it kick butt for her. If anyone has the balls to call her TFG ... Well that's a whole other situation Gonna happen.
Thought about letting her take my rev titan, but not enough points to fit it.

Any tips on tweaking the list?

The wraith constructs can't be taken on their own, only as part of a craftworld warhost. The only way to make a bound all wraith list would be to take 2 wraith hosts with minimal upgrades and no transports.

I would switch the knight and lord that are in the wraith host with the ones that are on their own. Unless there is some big LoS blocking terrain having battle focus on the d cannon knight doesn't do much good, between the 12 inches it gets to move already anything should be in range but getting the cc knight where it needs to go is a litter harder so allowing it to run and still shoot gives you some use out of it until it can make a charge or make it to another unit after it wipes a squad out. The same thing for the dual star lord over the scat star lord because the dual star is going to be better at killing things so I'd rather have it shooting every turn and running.

Side note why do you have a scatter laser and a star cannon? Why not dual one or the other?

The idea on the Knights was to fire them at seperate targets. The scat lazer just to allow a charge. The lords I guess would benefit from having doubles.

Is the glaive knight that much better then the wraith cannons?

So a double Wraithhost for 2000 looks like:

Spirit seer x2

2x wraith lord, glaive, starcannon
2x wraith knight 1 with wraith cannons other with glaive/shield both with a single starcannon
4 x 5 wraithgaurd
2 x 5 wraith blades with axes/shields
=2000 on the nose

With this list I suppose the idea would be to deploy as far forward as possible and make use of battle focus to run and shoot, while relying on cover bonus from the seers and high toughness on everything to help prevent losses. Although I suspect the Knights will attract most of the heavy firepower leaving the gaurd to advance without much risk?
