Maybe with wraithblades you have a point, like assault termies can do, but even then...

You would leave some members of the squad more open to powerfists and the like though.

But like Von Chogg says, Eldar have always been specialists. Now it is the same with the wraithguard/blades as the aspect warriors.

Wraithguard with cannons - on foot, objective holding, anti tank, monstrous creatures, multi wound models

Wraithguard with scythes - anti elite, 1 wound infantry (but can take a punt at multi wound with distort rule), not monstrous creatures or tank, always buy a wave serpent!

Wraithblades with swords - 3+ or worse save infantry with few or no power weapons/fists, wraith assault unit

Wraithblades with axes - Tarpit unit, go for elite units like terminators and hold them all day with t6, 4++ and fearless. Add buffs from runes of battle and fate to really amp this up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535085/5764181.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/535085/5764181.page GMT Wraithguard - Mixed Squads

I honestly don't see the point of Wraithguard with anything except D-Scythes (except from an aesthetic point of view).

Cannons: Scythes have the same effect on a 6. You shouldn't be using them to shoot vehicles and scythes get more wounds off on multi-wound models. More wounds = more chances to roll 6 to wound.

Swords: There are better units for fighting 3+ save infantry. WG are kind of slow and not a great assault unit.

Axes: Better choice than swords, but again suffer from being a mediocre assault unit.

It would be nice to mix and match but in the current ruleset Scythes are the superior choice every time.

Why shouldn't you use wraithcannon to shoot vehicles?



Because you can get much better ranged AV firepower elsewhere and not have to run up within 12" to shoot them.
