Looks good. Think about ditching the Beamer on the wraiths to get a Claw for the spyders.

The spyders won't be close to any vehicles so the claws wont have any effect.

Ok, what about a Gloom Prism? Might help more than a single beamer.

I was thinking that. Do a lot of people tend to run psychic powers?

Sure, Nids, Chaos, Demons, Space Wolves (particularly Rune Priests).

It has a small range, but it can make a big difference.

grey knights, BA

What's the likelihood of running into them in a tournament environment?

About 100%

OK. I dropped the beamer for a Gloom Prism. Any other suggestions? I've been trying to work out a good strategy for this list. Who could i talk to about this? I've already figured out that unless I'm going against a DS heavy army, i should always DS my Wraith squads.

Well, I kind of thought you already had a plan in mind when you said that the spyders wouldn't be near the GA.

For this list you have three distinct parts - the wraiths, your gunline/armoured centre and the scarabs and spyders.

I'd suggest you split the wraiths to either flank, run the scarabs, spyders and armour up the middle.

If you have specific tactic questions, you could try posting them in the tactics forum.

I think a couple of games with the list will crystallise a game plan pretty quickly.

I submitted a post on the tactics page like you said. If you could take a look at it, i would be most appreciative.
