This is a slight variation that puts the wraith guard on foot. The farseer and spirit seer accompany that blob of WG. I want to keep the Fire Prism close enough to the Farseer to take advantage of Guide. I'm thinking with the Fire Prism and the knight dropping templates plus the wave serpent shooting will force my opponent to leave the WG on foot alone for a few turns while I get close.

I'd love your thoughts on these lists. Is there any glaring weaknesses in them? Anything I am missing?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557543/6143935.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557543/6143935.page GMT SL is 60 points on top of what is an awesome model when run stock. Plus you gave the templates from the scythes and the prism template should the need arise.

The 10 blob on foot could be a problem, unless you get some lucky psychic rolls, the guard are tough, but they're 3+ armour isn't very durable anymore. Axe wielding blades offer a 4++ across the board! but you do lose range and strength. To that end, what dex are you running? Plain eldar or Iyanden?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557543/6143960.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557543/6143960.page GMT WG and close to range quicker.

Good point about the cost of the suncannon, I like the twin linked aspect when paired with a scatter laser because then I don't need to support it with the farseer as much. Also, that suncannon is brutal on MEQ units that I run across.

Dropping that frees up some points, do you have any suggestions where to go with them?

I'm interested to hear what units best support wraith armies. I have warp spiders, striking scorpions, and war walkers that I have not tried mixing in yet.

You could upgrade the crimson hunter to an exarch. Bs5 with 4 S8 hits are very nice. And if you give him Marksmans eye then you are precision hitting on 5&6, potentially instant killing multi wound toughness 4 models! Thats all 60 points spent!

As for variations, the two favourite aspects outside of troops is warp spiders and swooping hawks. both are fantastic at what they do, My preference is spiders. Their speed is epic! And their weapons aren't half bad either at taking out most infantry.

hope that helps dude.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557543/6144350.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/557543/6144350.page GMT
