Hmm well tbh I think I will get really raped by Vehicle armies unless I can get lucky with spears etc, and can then mob the units that are forced out.

I have hawks, bright lances and spears as my main unit tank.

But I'm interested in how you feel I will perform?

Cheers!

I tend to look (especially in competitive games) at doing something really well.. and then stacking redundancies on top of it in case of dice failure.(I have to incorporate 3/4s of dice being 1 or a 2.because everyone knows those are the dice I roll and that I'm rather blunt*)

This is your gunline list but your anti tank relies on them getting into CC, if you were to go off friendly and spam it for anti tank- what would you have..can we condense that into its purist form and inject it into your list without overhauling it and it losing its good points? (do eldar have a darklance DE kind of fallback?)
Theres a part of me that misses that 2nd wraithlord/first list, the finals are only a week or so away and you know how everything works in that one.

*Apart from when I'm at AoS Meetups.

If I were to inject some more anti-tank into the list I would go

8 Fire dragons - exarch, flamer - 140
Wave serpent - shuriken cannons, spirit stones, vectored engines - 130

Or add another Wraithlord (Bright lance/missile launcher) - 155

Or add another bright lance into the guardian squads **pts

Add a Warlock to the Jetbike squad with Spear 48+ pts minimum

Hope this helps

i notice one big broblem with the list and that is how do you get to an objective? running your troops there might work or they might get cut to ribbons on the way in and the one very small jetbike squad is going to have a hard time holding onto the objective in the last turn.
wave serpents are vrey good take 2 if you can as even a basic one will be able to get around the back of a tank and hit it in the soft spot while your troops do all the troop killing.

the farseer, writhlord and dark reapers make a very nice fire base to give support to your units as they move in for the kill.
