Hi community. I am looking for feedback on the following list please.

I wish the list to be fairly competitive, though I do want it to be a Jetbike list (no infantry). Otherwise I have no other restrictions, so go as mad as you like.

Outrider (all Craftworld models are Saim Hann)
Yvraine (Warlord)
Autarch Skyrunner – Novalance, Banshee Mask
Unit of 3xHornets – Pulse Lasers, Crystal Targeting Matrix
Unit of 9xShining Spears
Unit of 9xShining Spears
Hemlock Wraithfighter

Outrider (Alaitoc)
Farseer Skyrunner – Singing Spear
Warlock Skyrunner
3 squads of 4xWindriders
Crimson Hunter Exarch - Bright Lances

Comes to 1,999 points

Do you think the 2 large units of spears is overkill? Plan would be to Quicken one and Soulburst the other, while the Autarch advances and charges (first of course). Once both units of Spears are engaged (or dead) then I would Word of the Phoenix the Hornets.

Alternative would be to move the hornets to the Alaitoc detachment (where they will get good use out of the Craftworld trait), split the Spears into 3 units of 6 (one quicken, one souburst (through Psychic Power) and one advances using the stratagem), the Windriders would then become 2 units of 6.

It has also been suggested that I drop the Hunter in favour of more Warlock Skyrunner(s), probably adding a Supreme Command Detachment to the list

Thanks in advance

Well, only infantry or bikers benefit from SfD.
This reduces the effectiveness of tanks in a Ynnari list.
Moreover, the list provides too less CPs.
I'd consider a battalion and Dark Reapers.

Oh yeah, thanks for highlighting about the tanks

Command points are an issue with a non infantry list, most everyone plays dark reapers, would be nice to be different

However, Yvraines psychic power is used to its best with Dark Reapers.

I've done something similar but put Yvraine in a Wave Serpeant with some Wraithguard. I know you want bikes only, but without a transport for her it's awkward as they are either shackled to her with her lower move speed, or she gets left behind and exposed. I've had the Yncarne work fairly well in a bike list though, as you then still get the Ynnari psychic with a good delivery system and don't have to worry about getting left behind, not to mention he's a melee powerhouse.

Yncarne is interesting, and the model looks great. How would you suggest I could rejig the list the accommodate the extra points cost?

Yncarne is fun to play but a point sink and not too hard to kill.

Thanks for the input guys

Will revert to a pure Craftworlds force, will fit better with what I want to achieve with the list (maintaining a fast moving biker heavy force)
