Here is my Eldar 8th edition list 2000 points
Im useing the Detachment with 3-6 elite slots i forgot the name of it. And a single lord of war. I should have 4 command points
2 man 5 squads of warp spiders. 220 points
exarchs with single death spinner not 2.

1 wraithlord with 2 brightlances and ghostglaive and 2 shuriken catapults 153 points

Wraith knight lord of war with suncannon and scatter shield with 2 starcannons on shoulders. 600 points

Illic nightspear. sniper hero hq. 88 points
Warlock hq with whitch blade. 37 points

4 squads of Wraithguard 5 strong 20 total, each with a d-sythe. 900 points

2 points left.
Power level 84
4 command points

The basic idea is too keep 1 model with in 3 inches of the warlock from each wraith guard squad as best as you can, going for the +1 to shooting at them, shroud/reveal i think its called, each time in the physic phase. The 2 warp spiders are for sitting in the back in cover flicker jumping and only moving up if theres an easy objective too take. Same with your sniper and wraithlord they can sit in the back and shoot there 48, 36 inch guns. The wraithknight is acually a forgeworld one but the rules for it are not out yet so for now im rocking the scatter shield and sun cannon with 48 inch range and 2 star cannons on the shoulders with 36 inch range.

Yes i know i have 60 wounds of wraith guard but the auto hit on overwatch with the D-sythes even at only 8 inches is insane esp if i roll a 5 or 6 on there shots ( each has D3 shots roll 1 dice for the entire squads shots) the command points i would use on re-rolls for number of shots if they were running hord. The forge world wraithknight might fit better in this list due too the flamers i hope it still has, but other than that all i could think of is dropping the knight and rocking more wraithguard and 1 more wraithlord with 2 more brightlaces.

Any ideas i would love too hear! Thanks!

Your wraithlord should be 158pts.

Concept seems fine but I'd find points for spiritseer instead of warlock. A single perils could kill warlock outright, hurting your wraithguard. One perils cant kill a spiritseer with no prior wounds. Plus he fits your theme better.

footslogging against shooting armies (conscript spam) sounds like you'll just get tabled. Probably kick ass against vehicle rushes and melee.

I did not even think about the the pearls check!
i will deff look into a Seer. and yes i was forgetting the 10 points for the ghostglaive. 153 point wraith-lord.
Thanks for the tip!

The only thing i cant see myself beating into the dirt is HORD 400+ models on the table. but would i even see that list in a TIMED tournament format?

as for the conscript spam im still thinking about that one...... Mortal wounds are hard too deal with.

I'm playing wraith units and the bright Lance lord is only fair. Drop illic and the warlock for the spirit seer and use starcannon on the Lord if he's going to be a long range gunner. All the guard is a cool idea but it took me three turns to get wraith blades into action and I took 40% losses with just necrons warriors shooting at them. Maybe drop one gaurd squad for two more lords with just a sword and flamers. Your opponent can't dismiss a 12w strength 9 coming their way and if they do they will be sorry. The new AP system has breathed new life into all wraith units. And save command points for charge rolls.
