I’ve played a few games so far with this against imperial guard and a few space marine armies. Custom traitors are masters of concealment and the one for auto wounds on 6 with Shuriken weapons. So far the games have all gone the same. Turn 1 Windriders move up sides and capture objectives. They put down a massive amount of anti infantry fire and get a shocking amount of 6’s and you can also use hail of doom or whatever to double that.
The vypers act as a second level of firepower coming up behind them to finish off whatever units may be able to charge the Windriders. Behind them are the fire prisms and hornets which can consistently cripple or destroy 2 targets per turn.
The farseers can also deliver a brutal eldritch storm or force the enemy to not clump units for auras. The wraithlords are good for absorbing fire and just threaten to push the enemy off objectives. They’re capable of dealing with hordes and can smash any big threats with their sword
Overall strategy is to kill anything that can move up and tag you first. As long as I keep my mobility advantage I can stay away from the worst units and concentrate massive fire on the other stuff. I’ve not played Tau or dark Eldar which I imagine would be a challenge since they have great firepower and movement. But it seems that anything that lacks the movement or big firepower just dies very easily to my list.
If I could ditch the wraithlords and just run more Windriders as troops choices and bring more fast attack to keep it thematic I wiuld. I always loved the grav tank and jetbike lists. It looks very much Eldar.
