Dear all
Having aquired 20 wraithguard recently, I have decided to try and make them work at a local tournament. Interested on your thoughts in how they will go. Now onto the list
Eldrad
Farseer
-fortune
-jetbike
Warlocks 5
- jetbikes
- enhance
- embolden
- destructor (2)
Wraithguard 10
- warlock
- spiritseer
- conceal
Wraithguard 10
- warlock
- spiritseer
- conceal

Has huge glaring weaknesses. The Wraithguard are highly resilient to shooting, but one squad of nobz, or terminators, or Thunderwolves will destroy your entire army. Any of those units, with their normal transport, has an assault range much longer than the Wraith's range. Once they're in combat, you have nothing that's can counter charge to get the Wraiths out. The council is a decent assault threat, but not against anything with heavy armor. Even normal marine squads with powerfists will slowly whittle down the Wraiths.
You're slower than most armies, will be out-shot by orks, and will always be fighting on your opponent's terms because of these two things.
I agree with everything Vimes says
Also...you have a single long range AT shot...and you haven't given it holofields!
Lose the farseer, lose some Warlocks and get some Wraithlords in there!
Hmm - how about the following to add some cc counter to the list:
Option 1
Eldrad
Farseer
Guide
Jetbike
3 warlocks
jetbikes
Embolden
Enhance
Wraithguard with seer squad 1 with conceal
Wraithguard with seer squad 2 with conceal
Wraithlord, flamers
Wraithlord, flamers
Option 2:
Eldrad
Maugan Ra
Wraithguard squad 1
Wraithguard squad 2
Wraithlord
Eml
Brightlance
Wraithlord
Eml
Brightlance
Both of the lists have extra cc, but list 1 has the anti vehicle cc of the seer council, while list 2 has more cc and shooting.
Interested in people's thoughts - i am looking to make 20 wraithguard viable ( or as viable as they can be in 1500 points).
How will you counter Horde armies like Orks, Tyranids or Imperial Guard? As massed fire could level all your Wraithguard D:. Wraithlords are a good addition in my opinion (great in combat and can resist everything under Strength 5)
