I like the bikes being about to be out and guiding and presciencing things, however the spirit seer is nice since he gives battle focus to everything within 12 ". Played a game yesterday at 1850 with him and eldrad and it really helped with the wraithknights getting battle focus and they flanked to either side of the wraithguard. Game was a tough game against Nids - Nids believe it or not give Eldar a hard time as they can produce so many guants which you can't ignore, however you can't ignore old swarmy because once he gets into cc he will kill anything he can get a hold of...

just a probe to see if anyone has a comment

I like the second list, but am not crazy about Eldrad.

You are running two Wraithknights, correct?

If so, I would drop the Wraithforge Stone and one or two of the Holofields to pick up another small Windrider squad and that should leave you enough poitns for a Cannon as well. The Wraithforge stone is just going to limit your Wraithknight mobility and hasn't been useful beyond T1/2 for me. And with two Wraithknights pressing the advance your enemy may not be targetting your Serpents as much, only the DScythes needs it as its payload is very important.


Also, where in southern WI are you, and what tournament are you thinking about? I'm central Wi.

It is for a summer series final at the LAst Square. This one is for the top 16 from the summer series and sudden death, so if you lose you are out for your chance to win. They do it every summer. I have gone to fon du lacs tourneys and the labyrinths tourneys as well. Where do you play at?

I've heard of the Last square. I'm up in Stevens Point and game at Galaxy Comics, a small store and I'm always looking for tournaments to go to and places to game. Let me know if you have any other tournaments coming up their, I wouldn't be opposed to a weekend drive south.

You guys don't play too many tourneys up there?
You should check out madison40k.com they post local games in wisconsin in there all the time

Unfortunately not. The last one my local store ran was the last Ard Boyz! But I've found some up in Wausau I'll be going to, planning to go to the Renegade Open in Oct, then Adepticon.

I love competetive play and can't find enough of it around. Thanks for the link.

no problem, it is too bad that they do not do a lot of tourneys.. It is fun for practice games, but the tourneys are where it's at

I agree.

I've been away from 40k for over a year and hadn't been in a competitive tournament since Ard Boyz Finals 2011! Kind of sad not as many people are playing around here, so I'm looking to do more tournies and drive for some games.
Will try for a tournament a month.
