Solid start. It makes good use of the ghost knights box, making your army more or less one stop shopping.

I would make the wraithblades 10 strong, to better bubble in and harmonize your spiritseers. Consider dropping a unit of scytheguard to get the other unit of scytheguard a wave serpent. 2 troops are usually a bit low for 1500, but wraiths are strong. Consider a small unit of jetbikes to hide and reserves and snatch objectives late game.

The eldar missile launcher is very overpriced for what you get. If you want anti tank, get the bright lance, and if you want dakka/AI/S6, the scatter laser, shuricannon and starcannon are all options. Since iyanden usually has a problem with horde control, I would take one lord with dual scatter lasers and one with dual lances.

I ran a list very similar to this the other day. I only had one unit of d-scythes and one unit of wraith blades. The other two units were standard Wraithguard. I also had an avatar and the Lords were just Scatter Lasers.

Was a fun game but it was just too hard for me to get into my opponent before taking significant losses. the D-Scythes are deadly as hell once you get them into range I want to run a unit of them in a Serpent to see what they can really do sometime.

My oppnent was running Nids w/ a Swarm Lord 3 dakka fexes and a bunch other rending stuff. ID hosed me bad on the Kight and Lords wasn't much I could do about it sadly.

For the list I would do as said above and make wraithblades a unit of 10, also i'm not sold on the WG with scythes unless with a serpent, so maybe take cannons, also for WLs take duel SL.

In addition with the points saved you should be able to buy 2 more spirit seers (I think) and then all your WG units can have voice of twilight and be super speedy.

Updated the list, trying to get more units into the army. Wave serpents really take a lot of points. So far I'm at 1310 pts with the army listed above. Thinking about a Farseer or a Crimson Hunter.

As I too love the Ghost Warriors of the Eldar...I have come to understand that they are realy to slow to get around the board. It isn't impossible but serpents really would help your army.

Alright. So I took everyone's advice on serpents into consideration. I now have 2 lists in the OP. Which is the better list of the two?

I say first list is best for TAC.
