why eml? Its not very good at killing flyers with 1 s7. I would take lances or star cannon

You could drop the vypers to 1 since that's all that's mandatory.

I would do scatter lasers on the warwalkers as its so many shots!

1 unit of wraithguard should have the flamer. Its too good.

Really the flamer is an 8 inch shot while the cannon is only a 12.

On the knight you only really need 1 starcannon or preferably scatter laser since that is what you need to shoot at a unit you wish to charge.

Sounds weird, but I'd seriously consider the plan of 2 star cannons and a sword on the wraith knight. Give yourself the nice 5+ invul and the d-strikes in combat, it keeps you alive better, and then you can punch the knight, which is something your knight is really good at. Don't waste the points on the defensive bonuses to the vypers, they are easy to kill anyways, that will get you the points for the d-scythes that you need. And yeah, starcannons for sure on the guardians. In reality this list against a grey knight army is going to do best staying back, you know your opponent is going to advance on you. Hold back with the guardians and plink away at things how you see fit, then use your units from the wraith host to slow the advance further.

i took EML coz i wanted to take advantage of them being free

i took Starcannons over Scatter Lasers coz pretty much everything in his Army has a 2+ save

the flamers i was thinking more about overwatching as my friend loves to charge into CC

as for the vypers its a bit of an OCD of mine i cant just take one lol

The flames overwatch with 5d3 strength d hits! And eml is not even worth the slot in this situation

might change the EMLs to Brightlances

i meant the flamers on the wraithlord i dont have the point to give the Wraithguard flamers

If you drop the Spirit Stones and Holo-fields (which are irrelevant when you have two hull points and AV 10, if you are being hit and glanced/penned semi reliably, you are dead, honestly, 10 RF bolters can do 1.5 HP through the holofields, just off glances) you would have enough for flamers on the wraith guard, and that wraith guard unit will be the bane of your opponent. He has two options with that unit;

1. Don't charge, get flamed every turn and weep because you are being pile driven into the ground (worst choice)

2. Charge, and take 5d3 strength D hits, avrage 10 hit, 7 d3 wounds at AP2! (Still a horrible option, and if he tries to charge with a unit of 5 terminators, quite possibly results in no termies)

Ok you've convinced me. I've dropped the holo-fields and given 1 units D-Sythes and I'm 2000 pts on the dot
