So I have 160 points to mess with. I can add in a Wrathlord or a squad of 5 Shadow Spectres with Exarch. The tournament is in one week and that is all I have to work with.

Help!

CH exarch is a MUST, its not anti fluff and the best AA in the game and costs exactly 160.

A CH Exarch costs more than that, but a basic Crimson Hunter would fill the points well.

Sorry, Ch costs 160, exarch costs 180. I also typed in you can drop SL from WK and make the hunter an exarch, but that part didn't show up.

I don't really have access to a hunter. I asked about the Wraithlord or the Shadow Spectres because that's what I have access too.


I can try and get one, but I doubt I'll be able to.

idk about a crimson hunter, wave serpents are great anti air. I would get better scoring.

Well 4 serpents in 2k seems poor AA, you know the matherhammer to take down a drake, consider someone taking 4 (or even worse stormravens).

Drakes are ok to decent against wave serepents

I run a similar list with my Iyanden and I've gone back and worth with the CH. I'm a big fan of having all my shooting on the table, so I'd probably stick with serpents or maybe add war walkers.

I don't have a lot of experience, but it seems that you have a lot of mobility and the WL would not match this. If you can get hold of some, I'd recommend another Spiritseer with the wraithstone and a Ranger sqd.

Well if its between, the two, I would take the Spectres. They match the mobility of your army better.

Never mind -_-

Specters are the only viable option, the WL is to slow, and when compared, are found lacking.

It's not exactly keeping in the fluff, but what about a freeblade Imperial Knight?


I have one assembled that I had not yet considered. Thoughts?

Edit:

So the new list would be:

HQ:
Spiritseer (Warlord)

Troops:
5x Wraithguard w/ D-Scythes
5x Wraithguard (x3 Units)

2x Wave Serpents w/ Twin Linked Scatter Laser, Holo-Fields, Shuriken Cannon
2x Wave Serpents w/ Twin Linked Scatter Laser, Holo-Fields

Heavy:
Wraithknight w/ Suncannon, Scattershield, Scatter Laser

Allies:
Knight Paladin

Total:1995

Sure, I would take the normal WK over the sun cannon one though, with the extra 60pts buy the rest of the serpents cannons -20 and wraith stone for seer -30.

I would keep both wraith knights, drop wraith guard in serpents for dire avengers, and have the wraith knights stock.
That should give you enough points for the imperial knight, and 2 wraith knights with an imperial knight is just plain nasty.
