Is Ulthwe the only real way as a Craftworld? (Its just so good I find it hard to justify anything else...............PS I'm painting them Iyanden, but playing as Ulthwe, am I "That Guy"?)

Ulthwe wraith host is fun because you get Eldrad. Biel-Tan and Ynnari are also good if you're willing to branch out. If you want to go pure wraith host, I'd consider getting some wraithfighters. They address your two main weaknesses, which are your lack of range and your lack of speed.

You can't just ignore strats, secondaries, faction traits, and the entire book of other units available to the faction that can potentially synergize with a given unit. It makes no sense to compare two units in a vacuum like that.

Also FYI nobody runs deathmarks while just about every eldar list runs rangers. Rangers are practically autotake in CWE lists while deathmarks pretty much don't exist as far as necron players are concerned. Try to think more about the role of a unit within the context of your army, rather than pure stats.

Eldar tactics are pretty boring these days: run wraithknight, win game.

Doesn't really matter what else is in the list. A single Wraithknight is enough to tip the scales massively in your favor.

If you want a do a non-wraithknight list, things get a little more interesting, but not much. Fill your list with any of the myriad Good datasheets, avoid or minimize the few Bad datasheets, and you're set.
