Ok so its becoming fairly apparent that Wave Serpents are one of the best things about new Eldar and although my original list did feature two they werent optimized and i didnt consider it 'Spammy'. However, the more i think about the list the more im thinking i should just go for it and see what comes out so heres my choice. List A. My Original 1800 Wraith army, or List B. With Added Serpent!
List A.
Spiritseer - 70
Spiritseer - 70
Wraithblades x7 - Axe/Shield - 224
Wraithblades x7 - Axe/Shield - 224
Wraithguard x6 - 192
Wraithguard x5 - Scythes - 210
+Wave Serpent - Holo Fields, TL Laser - 135
Wraithguard x5 - Scythes - 210
+Wave Serpent - Holo Fields, TL Laser - 135
Wraithlord - Laser/Lance, Sword - 165
Wraithlord - Laser/Lance, Sword - 165
Total = 1800 (36 Models)
....or.....
List B.
Spiritseer - 70
WraithGuard x6 -192
WraithGuard x6 -192
WraithBlades x5 - Axe/Shield - 160
+Wave Serpent - Holo Fields, Shuriken Cannon, TL Laser - 145
Wraithguard x5 - Scythes - 210
+Wave Serpent - Holo Fields, Shuriken Cannon, TL Laser - 145
Wraithguard x5 - Scythes - 210
+Wave Serpent - Holo Fields, Shuriken Cannon, TL Laser - 145
Wraithlord - Laser/Lance, Sword - 165
Wraithlord - Laser/Lance, Sword - 165
Total = 1799 (33 Models)
In both lists the Flamey squad are the more offensive while the Blades walk, protecting their Spiritseers. Now obviously in the second list theres only 1 Seer so much easier to lose that Psychic support, hence he, and his bodyguard now get their own Birdie to zoom around in.
So much S6/7 Firepower from the Serpents is silly and depending on opponents, the other Wraithguard are still small enough that i can switch them out with the Scytheguard so that when i want to play defensive i can sit the Flamers on Objectives while the 12" S10 guns go hunting.
Any Opinions? Im personally leaning towards list 2, despite the small model count.
