couple things from my view:

1. you only have 3 troops and thats really bad. There is nothing wrong with some good ole wraithguard but you might to invest in some guardians by dropping the wraithlord perhaps and definately cut back on the incubi to a unit of 5 and put them in a venom. Why? 9 is a huge point sink that will undoubtedly draw a ton of fire and massacre a lot of your points without anything in return. 5 is a nice number that works better for sure.

2. That lone warrior squad looks sad with just 6 guys. I would pick up a venom for them so they can scoot around and lay down some good fire power. Or upgrade to 10 guys and stick them in a raider.

3. I'm not sure how useful that spear is off the top of my head for one of your spiritseers, but their main goal is to boost the crap out of your wraithguard so I would stray away from upgrading them with expensive stuff unless you have random points to spare.


Those are the main things that jump out at me.

All excellent points. Ive had a little tinker with the list and by dropping down to 4 incubi with the archon in a venom I managed to squeeze out a venom for the kabalite warriors and 2 squads of eldar jetbikes. I saved a few other points taking a voidraven bomber instead of the crimson hunter (and obviosly dropping the ravager). I think this will work out better.

those sounds like reasonable changes and certainly gets your troop count up and a unit for your farseer on a bike to join!

The farseer has the mantle of the laughing god which is awesome but unfortunately means he loses his IC status so he must ride solo. Hes quite survivable though as the mantle also gives him a 2+ re roll-able cover save

just remember that there are a lot of ignores cover stuff out there especially with tau

This is true, but in these cases he always has his 3+ armour and 4+ invul to fall back on (not ideal, but they'll still usually be able to take a licking)

Interesting list, how do you usually use it? Seems very short ranged and low in numbers, although obviously it packs a huge punch.
