I've always wanted to make an Eldar list for some unknown reason. I am pretty set on keeping the Wraithknight in there simply because it is one of my favourite models I've built for fun, and I finally want to use him in a list.

Looks pretty solid for a first attempt, though personally I prefer rangers over small units of avengers, particularly with alaitoc.

I'd also consider a serpent for the wraithblades, unless your burning CP to webway strike, in which case they will have to stand around for a turn.

You'd have to shuffle things around a bit to get the points, personally I'd replace the guardians but I know a lot of people do like guardian blobs atm. I just think without one the wraithblades will get picked off, even with quicken, and serpents soak up so much firepower.

I'd also see if you can find another 3pts to upgrade the Warnock to a spiritseer, who can then help out the knight as well.

Agreed with most of the points above. Personally I would pick either the wraithblades or guard, and get a wave serpent with the points left over from removing the other. That should also leave enough extra points to upgrade the warlock to spritseer if you like.

Thanks for the replies. I seem to have a couple options here.

So which would you prefer/think is better

1) Remove the Wraithguard and get a Wave Serpent

OR

2) Remove the Wraithblades and upgrade the Wraithguards to D-Sythes and fill out the points with something else

Option 1, as d-scythe wraithguard will need a serpent too.

Or you could webway strike wraithguard with cannons, as they'll still be in range to shoot when they drop in.

For a fist attempt it is nice. Here are my comments.

Your Alaitoc detachment mostly consists of units that will be very soon within the 12" range in order to benefit from the craftworld trait. I would remove all Dire avengers add two units of rangers and reduce guardians to 10 since all they are gonna do is camp on an objective and take pot shots with the starcannon.

I don't know what the target is with wraithguard (both units) but footslogging them across the field will result in sure death. Remove either unit and add a serpant. There are gonna be points left so buff the number of reapers and give exarch a tempest launcher. Use fire and fade every turn on them.

I cant really comment on Crimson Hunters but I really like hemlocks. Depending on your play style consider dropping both Crimson Hunters and add a Hemlock with some points left.

Wraithknight is okiish after the price drop for friendly games but you will get more millage for your money from two fire prisms with points left.

Generally speaking it is a fun list to play and play against, without being weak. Get some battle experience and tweak according to suggestions and play style.
