Hey all.
Im wondering to take out my wraiths form my list.
But what shall I replace them with?
Im not playing decurion or any formations so far.
So what do people take instead of wraiths?

/Lorex

Overlord: Warschyth. Veil of darkness, Phase Shifter.

Troops:
10 Warriors.

10 Warriors.

9 Immortals.


Elites:
5 Lychguards: Hyperphase swords, Dispertion Shields.

10 Deathmarks.

5 Praetorians.


Fast Attack:
3 Destroyrs.

3 Tomb blades: Shieldvanes, Shadow loom.



Heavy Support:
Monolith.

2 Heavy Destroyers.

2 Heavy Destroyers.

Thats what i have right now in the list. I have.
1 Flyer
1 Stalker
6 Scarab
1 Barge.
6 Wraiths
1 Cryptek
1 more Lord.
I will add more units to the army. But thats all I have painted.

I'd go Scarabs. I like Scarabs-a few of them can reliably kill a Knight. It takes, on the charge...

Well, admittedly, 15 SURVIVING Scarab bases to kill a Knight in one turn (so something like 18 bases actually charging) but that's just for a one-turn kill. And that's STILL less points than most knights.

That being said, they'll crumple to decent shooting. T3 really hurts them.

I was thinking of adding 5 more praet and 3 more Tomb blades. Or more Warriors.

Both are good choices. How competitive is your local meta?

Well we are playing with a comp system. So you never see knights and wraithknights.
I play aginst SW, Eldar, DA, SM, Nids and Tau.

That doesn't answer my question. Also, what comp system removes Knights? Knights aren't that scary.

What sort of lists do you face?

Swedish comp make it hard to take knights. If I comp 15 and the enemy comp 10, then Im in the lead with 5Vp from the start of the game.

Well SW take Wulfen and TWC. With some support.
He only have 15 greyhunters as troops. 1 Longfang unit.

The SM player use alot of normal Marines.
Have 1 Landrider with TH / SS terminators with a capitan.
2 Rhinoes with marines, 3 Cents with Las and hurrican,
1 Dred in a pod.

Tau use alot of battle suits. He us Farsight book. Hes a new player so hes prob gonna change the list alot.

Eldar use alot of fast moving units. Like eldar do. Not much psych support.

DA play more defensiv. He have alot of heavy weapons, And have some unit with speed. 2 speeders 5 bikes. 2 Rhinos with gravcannons. The grav is in the rhinos.

Wraiths are the primary tarpit unit for Necrons. If you remove them your army will still be able to operate just fine, but will be more vulnerable to being caught in assault (because you won't have much to counter them with). You'll also be shot a lot more (because you won't have as much to charge into their gunlines).
