Making some Eldar Wraithhost fluffy list with some bikes sprinkled in. Should I keep the Wave Serpents vanilla adding Holo Fields? Or upgrade any of the weapons?

I personally have a few different loadouts that I use, but my 'default' that I use 90% of the time is Shuriken Cannons on all hardpoints and Holofields (Occasionally Spirit Stones if I'm facing a shooting army). This way you're putting out only one stat line that you need to remember and all your shots do the exact same thing. You could buy Scatterlasers for the extra shot, but I personally just keep with Bladestorm.

However if it's going up against some tougher, heavier unit (i.e. I'm dropping off some Fire Dragons for tank hunting or some Striking Scorpions to take on an elite unit) I'll grab Brightlances, because Str8 AP1 and Lance are awesome against tanks and MC (And instant killing everything up to TEQ).

I personally don't use much else. The Missile Launchers are too expensive and you'll probably only fire them in one mode anyway. The Starcannons have their uses I'm sure, and many people love them, but I just don't use them all that much.

Same for me, shuricannon 90% of the time, and always spirit stones. Not being able to move really hurts when transporting stuff, especially expensive things like wraithguard. the underlying is often the last thing I spend points on as I tend to be moving a lot and will pivot for disembark, I'd buy the upgrade that let's you pivot after shooting before the underslung so you can show your front after disembarking. usually don't bother with holofields, if I need the 5++ I'm probably jinking.


and by not having the extra cannon jink doesn't hurt that much,, it's usually the best decision and this way you don't get greedy.

Thanks for the tips guys! These Wave Serpents will be transporting Wraithguard with D-Scythes. I think I'll keep to all shuricannons then.
