    2k Eldar Spirit Host

    Alright, I LOVE Wraithguard, despite the fact that I realize that they're probably not nearly the best unit in the codex. However, I threw together a 2k list utilizing a lot of them, and a lot of 'locks.

    HQ
    Eldrad Ulthran (210)

    Farseer (118)
    Fortune; Eldar Jetbike; Singing Spear.

    Troops
    Wraithguard (399)
    Warlock: Conceal; Singing Spear; Spiritseer.

    Wraithguard (384)
    Warlock: Singing Spear; Spiritseer.

    Heavy Support
    Wraithlord (120)
    2× Flamer; Scatter Laser; Shuriken Cannon.

    Wraithlord (120)
    2× Flamer; Scatter Laser; Shuriken Cannon.

    Other
    6 Warlocks (336)
    4× Destructor; Embolden; Enhance; Eldar Jetbikes; 2× Singing Spear.

    5 Warlocks (311)
    3× Destructor; Embolden; Enhance; 2× Singing Spear.
    Wave Serpent: Twin-linked Eldar Missile Lunchers; Spirit Stones.

    This list would be mostly for fun, because I love Wraithguard and Warlocks, but tell me what you think!

    One of the craziest lists I ever saw. Kudos for originality.

    Do you actually own 20 wraithguard? Wouldn't that set you back c£140?

    I think that you will have problems with the different elements of you army being scattered arround the table. The wraiths are slow the farseers fast.

    Try Karanderas instead of the farseer. Put him and eldrad in one unit. Then try to fit in some more squads. You don't have many warm bodies there.

    Hehe, I think I see what you did here

    As it was said, the jetbikes will probably cause your force to scatter. Leaving your farseer & the warlocks on their feet will free 150pts, which is enough to take another wraithlord so that you can make fire rain on your ennemy from afar while advancing!

    I am working towards owning 20 Wraithguard - yeah, at $15 apiece it is really not cheap, but I'm halfway there and my friendly group is fine with proxies. Warlocks and Jetbikes are where I come up particularly short. I think that Karandaras would be a great addition to this list - I'd been trying to find a list that would run him well, but I don't know if I want to sacrifice the hardcore ghost theme of the list. Originally I ran 5x Wraithguard and a Warlock in the Wave Serpent.

    If I were to run Karandaras, I had intended to walk the Guard units one behind the other, the Conceal one giving the unit behind it cover. Should I make it where the front unit has 4+ cover, or where the back has 3+?

    The pheonix lords are basically ghosts anyway I wouldn't worry about that.

    I would very much like to hear a battle report on this army

    Well, I'll have to just find me an opponent and play against them with this list, now won't I? I admit, most of the lists I write never actually see the battlefield, but I've wanted to run a list using just Wraithguard as troops since I first noticed that I could take them as troops. I'll work on getting a battle to report!
