The Wraithseer is pretty much a must have if you really want a flavorful Iyanden army. It's a good enough model on it's own merits, with a beefy statline, fairly reasonable price, and good options, but being an Eldar psyker (so far the best in the game, my other armies only wish they had powers that good without digging into the BRB) with a wraithlord+ statline and the benefits it gives to wraith units is what sells it.

I'd highly recommend running one, not only because it's a good and flavorful unit, but also because it looks really, really cool.

Hornets are also excellent skimmers, Shadow Spectres are rather iffy and gimmicky units that fill a role your army doesn't need much more of (MEQ, Monstrous creature, and TEQ killing), the Nightwing is great, and the FW grav-tank variations are all very specialized.

Overall the Eldar get a healthy amount of love and respect from FW and is reasonably likely to get more units from outside the codex.

The FW Eldar units aren't war winners, but all of them can have a place in your army. Yes, even the Shadow Spectres.

Ty very much, I'll look into picking up a couple. The main reason i asked is because the model looks so bad ass! Glad to see its not a waste of points (im still fairly new to Eldar and don't quite have a grasp on whats good and whats not yet.)
Another quick question if you dont mind. Whats the difference between the codex wave serpents and the Type 2 wave serpents

The Craftworld Eldar are overall a very good army with a good selection of allies who mesh really well with them, good internal balance, perhaps the best usage of psykers in the game (the only thing they're missing is biomancy access) with only Tzeentch daemons and the Grey Knights offering any serious competition, and great special rules. The top rung of armies are generally agreed to be the Tau, Eldar, Daemons, and Necrons and there is a damn good reason for that.

As for the wave serpents, the same difference between the Deimos Pattern Predator and the regular Predator, it's aesthetic.

Those rules are well and truly out of date, so you'll need a copy of IA: Apocalypse if you want to use him.

Thank you. I just google'd Wraithseer rules and that was the first thing that came up, I'll swing by my hobby shop tomorrow and pick up a copy of the IA book.

Your hobby shop stocks Forge World? Lucky.

If you do, make sure it's the one with the Chaos Reaver Titan on the front. This is the second book from Forge World entitled IA: Apocalypse, the first was for the original Apocalypse release and so won't help you much.

The difference is solely in the looks. Specifically the rear fins and turret style.
