I'm fairly new to 40K so I might have made a mistake but it looks like this clocked in at 2016 points to me.

What is the plan with all the Wraithblades/wraithgard? it seems like you have a LOT of slow moving units here. You can get one set and the spiritseer in the wave serpent but are you thinking of deepstriking the other two? I can see that working well for the guard with cannons but I have not been comfortable assuming that I will get a 9 inch charge for a melee unit getting deepstruck in.

It seems like you would want to stick with the shuriken cannons (assault weapons) on the windriders, unless you are saim-hann.

I have never had a lot of luck with Wraith Lords but I also don't play Iyanden so that might help a lot. What is the thinking behind having such a variety of weapons on them?

I love the idea of using Asurman, I'm always trying to find a way to use the Phoenix lords when I build a list and he seems to be one of the best. This looks like a thematic set of units and I bet you are going to have a blast charging in with those wraithblade and popping the psytronome!

Ok so the amount of Wraiths was mainly 3 reasons.
1. They are very thematic with iyanden and I'm a sucker for fluff.
2. The toughness and wounds are my h higher than other units for example I usually play 5 fire dragons but they are t3 and 1 wound as opposed to t5 and 3 so I d's of the Wraith.
3. 1 unit will be in wave serpent 1 in the webway with spiritseer .

The variety of weapons on the Wraith Lord is to offer lots of roles like a tanks. So bright lance and starcannon offer the good long range and the other are more charging hoards

Yeah I liked the fluff of the list for sure, and I hear you on wanting some tougher units. Makes sense to me. I would be interested in how this plays out for you.

So will I lol I'll let younknownwhen infinity the army and Luke is strong enough to accept my challenge lol
