This will be the last game in our local league, game 14. I am trying to pack as much into it as I can, as I am one game away from 3rd place, and there's no prize for 4th. I have to play IG primary, but other than that, just about anything is open. My opponent is a Wraith heavy Eldar army, and I expect 3+ Spiritseers, tossing Protect on Wraithguard and/or Wraithblades, a couple Wraithknights and/or 'Lords, and a bunch of Wave Serpents. What do you think? Will this list handle what I need it to? What could/should I take instead?

Unless you know he won't be using Wave Serpents, drop some chaff (inquisitor upgrades, veterans power axe) and make those Sabre Platforms 2x 3 Autocannon and 1x 3 Lascannon. You do lose out a bit against Wraithknights, but you could perhaps address that by changing the Vulture over to TL Lascannons and Hellstrike Missiles. The Punisher cannon is cool, but not great against Wraithguard. I might alos be inclided to lose some quad launchers for another Vendetta, depending on how you think he'll run his list.

Your list is illegal as Field Artillery Batteries are Heavy Support choices for a normal IG army as per IA 1 second edition, the most recent release for them. IIRC Vultures are also Fast Attack, normally. What you're probably doing is confusing the DKOK/Elysian army list entries for IG army list choices.

If he takes a lt of wraithknights then counter them with squads of vendettas. Other then that his serpents won't last long vs all the autocannons, but why so many quad launchers? S5 AP5 vs a non hoard army seems to be a waste, maybe just take more lascannons?
