Looks good, it seems as though you have all your bases covered. The Jetbikes stick out to me - will they be kept in reserve? Otherwise they will be the only non-AV12 target on the board, and likely won't last long.

Your list is really hard to read. You should try to simplify it... we don't need to know every unit's wargear and special rules, we only need the number of models in the unit and any upgrades that you've chosen.

Yeah, I can't tell what's in your actual units. Almost as bad as army builder. Try this:

What's the role of Hemlock in this list? Wouldn't a second Hunter be better?

Usability of 5-elf Dragon squads is somewhat doubtful...

If jetbikes are for last-minute objective grabbing, maybe it's better to split them in 2x3?

Wraithknight, Scatter laser ), Suncannon and Scattershield

Let us know how this gets on, but it seems like an absolutely terrible choice for the points it costs.

Your not a knight fan?

I am a fan of knights, but i don't see that set up being worth it. You're paying 300 odd points for 3 s6 small blasts each turn. that's insane. As an example you could take a support battery of 3 d-cannons AND another crimson hunter for about the same cost. Or swap the crimson hunter for a big squad of warp spiders. You can get a lot more for the points that the suncannon knight gives.

There are two viable knight set ups that i can see atm. One is just the plain, vanilla dual s10 one. It gives you something we don't have a lot of (very high strength shooting) and while it can be negated by certain army builds, just like the suncannon, it's a lot less points. The other if the melee upgrade with no guns. It's quick, brutal and threatens pretty much everything due to it's movement, high str and good number of attacks. It's far superior to a lord in a roaming 'disrupt and destroy' role. Having a melee lord seems like it could by a free pass for the rest of your army for a couple of turns, letting you get into position or just let lose with all their shooting.

You believe using him and maybe even a lord as a primary distraction while the other units move around, keeping wraith dudes cheap.
