As per title, let me know what you think!

Guardian helm, wraith forge stone, singing spear!

Spiritseer - 70 Pts

Spiritseer - 70 Pts

5 wraithguard - 210 Pts
D-Scythes

5 wraithguard - 160 Pts
Wraith canons

5 wraithguard - 160 Pts

HEAVY SUPPORT

Wraithlord - 160 Pts

Wraithlord - 160 Pts

Wraithlord - 160 Pts

Wraithknight - 240 Pts
Heavy wraith cannons

Wraithknight - 300 Pts
Suncannon, shield, scatter laser

I think you get the idea. The farseer will sit in with the blades for protection and to dish out some powers. The spirit seers will sit with the guard, keeping all guard and lords in a close pack with the firepower to drop anything! And voice of twilight gives them a 19"-24" range per turn. The knights do what knights do best. Jump around and cause chaos!

I think the list looks fun but will struggle to win in any game against a list that is more competitive than ultra casual. Even with Twilight you aren't mobile and 20T6 bodies isn't as tough of a scoring block as you would think. The only AA is Presience/Guide on Wraithguard or Wraithknights.

I know a DE player that would just salivate at the sight of that list. Daemons FMC Lists will trounce it. Screamer Star. Serpent Spam. Tyranids, ohh god the gaunts tyranids. etc

On the plus side, many Tau lists will struggle against it until they realize they can just kill your scoring units.


I just done see it as viable outside of fun casual games and I do run double Wraithknight foot Wraith army with an Avatar. I've found it either dominates a matchup or gets slaughtered. Unfortunately the slaugter matchups are pretty common.

Yeah as a DE player, my warriors will shoot down those Wraithknights with pleasure.

But fun as hell to field, that's for sure.

It's not meant as a tourney list. A fun list to play mainly,? And I don't tend to get too upset losing if I've enjoyed it,

I think I've reserved my self to iyanden tourney list bein very 1 dimensional, basically guard within serpent spam.

Luckily I don't see any DE, FMC or even many hordes. As far friendly games I face tau, farsight enclaves, eldar (no serpent spam or bike spam though) , wolves, Imp guard (tank heavy), blood angels & black Templars. Very occasionally orks. So I think I'll be ok!

Surely it's viable against most of those?

Just about anything is viable in a fun setting. Most of my comments are aimed towards semi competitive to competitive. I'd definitely play it in friendly games, but would pass it up for a local tournament, and wouldn't even consider it for a GT.
