Wraith Host (Spirit Conclave) 1k list

[Trokair]

Spiritseer, Warlord 
Spiritseer 
Bonesinger 

Wraithguard, Classic
Wraithguard, D-Scythe

Wraithblades, Axe

Wraithblades, Swords

Wraithlord, 2xMissile Launcher , Glaive,  2xFlamer 

 

Total: 995p

 

Thinking of putting the Bonesinger with the Swordblades.

 

I know the Bonesinger is Legend, but for a more casual / thematic game I hope it will be fine. If it is an issue for any particular opponent it morphs into a Warlok that goes and tries to get a Grudge Judgment Vengeful Dead token onto a key unit.

 

Wasn’t sure what do arm the Lord with, hence the Missiles.  I used to run a 2 Bright Lance Lord, a 2 Starcannon Lord and a 2 Scatterlaser (or sometimes Shuriken Cannon) Lord, obviously in bigger games. So a little lost what to do in a smaller game like this, were I am learning the new codex.

 

 

 

Alternative list under consideration:

Spiritseer, Warlord, Rune of Mists  
Spiritseer 

Spiritseer 

Wraithguard, Classic
Wraithguard, D-Scythe

Wraithblades, Swords or Axe TBD
Wraithlord, 2x Bright Lance, Glaive,  2xFlamer 
Wraithlord, 2x Shuriken Cannon, Glaive,  2x Shuriken Catapult

Total: 995p

Solid list for 1k! I'd stick with lances on the wraithlord as I think all lists need some long rane threats to tanks. Bonesinger is a fun choice, it'll be good to see how it works - it has the benefits of lone op also which might be fun with the higher duty enhancement. One thing to possibly add would be a jetbike warlock to guided missile into the biggest opposing threat to score you +1 to hit and wound against that thing, though I'm guessing the +1 to hit from being near a Psyker wouldn't stack with it.

Thanks.

 

Had not realised that Jetbike Warlocks could be a unit of one (and that when so that he was the same price as single foot one). So yes that might be a good replacement for when the Bonesinger has to come out.  

 

+1 to wounds is always nice, and while the +1 to hit dose not stack with the being near a psyker +1 for Wraithguards and Wriathblades I think it dose for Wraithlords, as their wording is improve ballistic and weapon skill by one when near a friendly psyker.

Ah, weird, good catch, I didn't notice that the wording was different! Yes, a 45pt bikelock could be useful - throw them into the biggest thing your opponent brings, like a CTan, avatar, whatever to get your wraithlords at 3+ BS With +1 to hit and wound, rerolling 1's. Pretty nasty!

Stop it all of you, I’d talked myself out of building an Eldar army of all wraiths and jetbikes…

If you pre-order 4x of the wraithguard combat patrol issue and 3x of the jetbikes issues from forbidden planet, you have like 840pts of Eldar for £70. Just need the characters then!

Taking the following for a game today.

Want to give the bonesinger a few games to try it out, but the jetbike warlok is looking more and more tempting. 

I think my oponent is Deathguard with the Xmas detachment, will report on how it went. 

 

List:

• Spiritseer, Warlord 
• Spiritseer 
• Bonesinger 
• Wraithguard, Classic
• Wraithguard, D-Scythe
• Wraithblades, Axe
• Wraithblades, Swords
• Wraithlord, 2xBright Lance , Glaive,  2xFlamer
