I am shifting my Eldar towards a wraith army mostly. I have had a few games with my wraithguard and wraithblades and they have done well and I just ordered a wraithseer because, well it looks cool. Anyone have any experience with them yet? Its a 12 wound body with an invul and a D cannon so it seems like it has good firepower and defense. Its spells seem lackluster though. How do you use them? I like him just for rule of cool but what are the best ways to include him and utilize him to his fullest?

My knowledge here is mostly academic. I will be running mine with 3 wraithlords though the added buffs are nice and wraithlords are surprisingly good for the points, GW sold enough wraithknights I suppose as now it is extremely overcosted for the points

I'll be converting one as soon as the d-cannon bit I ordered shows up...

As for how effective it'll be? If nothing else, it's another psyker. Giving 6+ FNP or smiting in addition to the d-cannon ain't bad. Expensive, but not bad.

That said, swapping him out for a 66 point spiritseer will probably happen a lot.

I have used it. Its spells are useful but not amazing. Enliven helps to guarantee charge rolls. Foreboding was useful in combination with a Hemlock Wraithfighter's 12" aura of -1 leadership but not terribly useful unless you have other things in your force to capitalize on it. Deliverance is great on a unit of Wraithblades -- it's a slightly less good version of Fortune, but useful all the same. The D-cannon is solid, and the Wraithseer itself has given me no cause to complain, but it generally isn't the only HQ I field: I pair it with either a Spiritseer or a Farseer.
