hey all,
was looking at the FW eldar wraithseer and I was thinking how fun it would be to run an eldar army that was truly as many wraith units as possible. Since I was thinking of trying to keep this a fun list i tried for around 3k and came up with 3201pts overall. this is a very specialized list (i think) and would like some c&c please.
HQ
Eldrad (you know why! ;D ) (210)
Wraithseer w/EML (210)
Elites (3 units)
wraithguard (x5)
warlock w/conceal, singing spear & spiritseer
wave serpent w/tl scatter laser & spirit stones
(346 each)
Troops (4 units)
wraithguard (x10)
warlock w/conceal, singing spear & spiritseer
Heavy (3 units)
wraithlord w/EML, wraithsword & 2 flamers (125 each)
this gives me a total of:
59 wraith units (1 wraithseer, 3 wraithlords and 55 wraithguard)
and only 8 non wraith units (eldrad, 4 spiritseers, 3 warlocks)
i dont have any fast attack however the 3 units in serpents can redeploy relatively quickly for as long as thier transports last. also with the wraithseers ability to switch between 3 powers per turn and can give him self, a wraithlord or wraithguard unit within 12 fleet can also speed things up and throw off my opponents strategy.
i choose to go with missle launchers versus bright lances because of the volume of wraithcannons in the list that can handle any tank out there and the ml can give me some added anti-infantry especially with the wraithseers ability to worsen cover saves by 1 from shooting by him, or any wraithlord or wraithguard within 12 inches of him!
i know the list depends kinda heavy on the wraithseer's special abilities but i can run the 3 wraithlords as cover for the wraithseer to minimize the solid shots that get at him also when you add in thier natrual toughness and wounds its pretty dang hard to kill no matter what.
i thought this list was fun to make up and there are probably others who have already made it or something similar already but i still wanted to do it. who knows if i'll ever have a chance to play it let alone actually make it.
i havent seen if fw made an upgrade kit for this or just the complete model. i think complete but not sure how many pieces it comes in to be able to make it more dynamic. the wraithseer models is definately one of the few fw models i'd really like to get but if its static and hard to repose i'd hesitate getting it.
