Or one wraithguard squad as troops?

That's not a bad idea actually, I tried to keep their abilities separate as GW has had a hard time convincing anyone to not take named characters at this point. So yeah, that's actually a good idea. Give people a reason to take generic autarchs. Keep em cheap but like, mini versions of named characters.

Cool.

What about the Wraithsite? What bonuses would they get? They're already fearless, how about an increase to their feel no pain? Oh, that's not a bad idea.

Make their 'Feel no pain' a 6+ but if there's a psyker around it's a 5+, something like that?

I'd say drop the Wraithguard/Wraithlord natural/base stats in WS, BS, and I by a notch (maybe WS 3, BS 3, and I 2), this gives them a realistic 50/50 chance to hit something and slow to react without a psyker there.

With a psyker there I'd say up their WS, BS, and I back up to 4. This means that they can still function without a psyker present without the harsh chance of them becoming useless, but still gives them incentive for having a psyker nearby.

That's just a very basic example though, you could have fun with it in other ways.

Leader of the Warhost: You may take up to one of each of the following units as Troops choices: Howling Banshees, Striking Scorpions, Fire Dragons, Warp Spiders, Swooping Hawks, and Dark Reapers. Any of the previously mentioned units which have a unit taken as a Troops choice become scoring units (excluding Dark Reapers).

Path of Warriors: You may take one of a single type of the following squads as a Troops choice: Howling Banshees, Fire Dragons, Striking Scorpions, Swooping Hawks, Dark Reapers, or Warp Spiders. Additionally, the chosen unit type (excluding Dark Reapers) also become scoring units.

chrisrawr wrote:@Masterslowpoke please re-read his rule.

For clarification: If you take the 1 unit of Fire Dragons as a troops choice, all other non-troop fire dragons will be scoring.

If you take a unit of Dark Reapers as a troops choice, other Dark reapers will NOT be scoring.

With Yriel and the codex in general, Elites and Heavy support are so over crowded as it is, I have a hard time crowding it with 'more' options. Plus, the idea of a Single Wraithlord as a troop choice is pretty great. Ala Ork Dreadnought.

Eldrad already makes his warlock squad count as a Troop choice. I know it's not black guardians but it is a really hard as nails troop choice.

What does 'Paths of the winds' do?

I think an Alaitoc character would allow something like this:

Disruption:

You can force your opponent to re-roll one reserve or outflank dice for every Ranger/Pathfinder squad on the table. No reserve dice can be re-rolled more than once.

I do have 'The Wanderer' of Alaitoc, does he not count? :-)

So Path of the Wind would give them the same ability as the Wild Rider if we do the change to him though.
