I may be mistaken but I didnt think ynnari could be run with coven units

They can just not in the same detachment. I copy-pasted the Spearhead detachment name and forgot to change the title to say Coven. No difference to the list though. The coven units obviously don't have SfD and have PfP instead.

But if a detachment contains an Ynnari unit, all the others units must be Ynnari. So you can't have the Yncarne in your coven detachment.
You can make your list legal by swaping the Yncarne and a Wraithseer though.
But why do you want to be Ynnari in the first place? I don't have the Forgeworld index, but I assume the wraithseer is a monster, and so none of your units (except the Yncarne) gets anything from being Ynnari.

yes, the Yncarne would have to be an HQ in your Spearhead detachment which would force you to lose 1 wraithseer.

You're right! The FAQ changed that. Pre faq you could take the Yncarne in whatever as he didn't need the choose to be Ynarri thing. I'll switch them.

The reason I want them to be Ynarri is to benefit from Ynead Stirs giving them all 6+Fnp. Fixed.

im not sure it did. im pretty sure it was that way from the beginning but I digress, it's fixed now. List looks like it dies in droves to mass gunlines

What sort of massed gun lines are you thinking of?

Ran this list at a recent tournament. Lots of long range firepower, lots of poison shots for high toughness, and a minor tarpit unit to hold something up. Would have trueborn units in venoms but I do not own the models (only lots of old stuff). Take away the brides and lelith and the two ravagers. add in 1-2 trueborn with blasters in a venom and a void raven (pending point tweaks) and you have the list I want to run. Mobile, high power line that is pretty versatile.

Yeah this is not a tourney list, those are in other threads. I built this to play silly games, but I will definitely play against that list (I've been playing Dark Eldar forever so have all the stuff) even if I have to lend the models to an opponent and see how it goes.

Thanks so much for the list darkeldardenny. Got the game in last night against an opponent who usually plays Harlequin. He might have made mistakes (I'd have played your list differently), but it was a fun game.

I'll probably battre it when I get a chance, but essentially he went first and pushed his raiders into rapid fire range then killed 2 Talon and wounded a third (summoning the Yncarne). The monsters then advanced and ripped 4 raiders apart and killed 3 squads.

After that the rounds got messy with the ravagers killing the Yncarne, then one dying to BLs whilst the wyches tied up a bunch of monsters. The game went to time and the monsters (with 6 models left) won on objectives, taking one of them by getting locked in combat with the big squad of Warriors on top of it. (game was big guns). I think the game was won by 1 point, maybe 2. Liquéfier did good work. I'll try to get another game with a more DE experienced opponent.

I'm confused why it's an Ynnari detachment. Wraithlords don't get SfD and Yncarne can be taken in an Aeldari list. There's no benefit in making it Ynnari unless it's something I'm missing here.

EDIT: Nvm, saw the bit about the FNP bubble.

The Yncarne (or any unit with the Ynnari faction keyworld) can only be taken in a detachment in which every single unit has the Ynnari faction (Index xenos 1 FAQ).
