Hey guys, just making a list to play for fun and have some pretty cool interactions let me know what you think!

HQ:
Iryllith, Shade of Twilight - 220

Troop:
3x Windriders - 51
3x Windriders - 51

Fast Attack:
3x Shadow Spectres w/Exarch (Prism Blaster, night vision) - 150
3x Shadow Spectres w/Exarch (Prism Blaster, night vision) - 150
3x Shadow Spectres w/Exarch (Prism Blaster, night vision) - 150

Lord of War:
Wraithknight (2x starcannon, 2x heavy wraithcannons) - 335

Total: 1107

So heres where I am looking for input. I know that I want to run the shadow spectres for sure. I would really like to be able to ally them with harlequins if I could, to the point of dropping the wraithknight and windriders, if that was/is even possible. Not too familiar with the Eldar codex so I'm not sure what kind of formations I should be looking at or what may allow me to run the type of list I want. But, if it isn't easily or somewhat feasibly possible to use shadow spectres with a main force of harlequins then I am asking what I should do to get the list above, to 1500 points. And if you're asking why all of this for one unit, honestly I am not even sure how good the shadow spectres are, they just seem like they have really fun play patterns/abilities along with a great look and hint of rarity.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Your info is outdated. Forgeworld Eldar were updated last December in The Doom of Mymeara Volume 2. Irillyth is only 180 points now, and Shadow Spectres are 25 points a piece. Night vision isn't an upgrade option anymore. Their rules are all changed a little as well.

There's a Shadow Spectre formation available as well. Requires 3 units of Shadow Spectres, only one can have an Exarch. All models roll an extra D6 for thrust moves and pick the highest 2. All models can re-roll failed morale/pinning/fear tests. All enemy models within 12" of the Exarch have to re-roll successful fear tests.

Thanks a ton for the info and heads up, really cool rules. How well do you think they could combo with a quin list?
