First try at an Iyanden list.

Hi all,

Below is my first attempt at a 2000 point list using the new Iyanden book.

HQ:

Shadow Council
     3 Spirit Seers
       - Wraithforge Stone
       - Guardian Helm of Xellethon

Wraithseer
       - D-cannon

TROOPS:

5 Wraithguard
    - Wraith cannons

5 Wraithguard
    - Wraith cannons

5 Wraithblades
    - ghost axes and Forceshields

FAST ATTACK:

Crimson Hunter
    - Exarch
   
10 Warp Spiders
    - Exarch
    - Powerblades
    - Spinneret Rifle

HEAVY SUPPORT

Wraithlord
  - flamers
  - scatter laser
  - eldar missile launcher

Wraithlord
  - flamers
  - scatter laser
  - eldar missile launcher

Wraithknight
  - 2 x scatter lasers

Total Points:  1995

Basically the three members of the shadow council would be split apart and attached to each of the wraithguard/wraithblade units.  One would use the wraithforge stone to heal either a wraithlord or the wraithknight each turn.  The guardian helm would go in the wraithblades squad to allow them to accept challenges.

All spiritseers would take 2 rolls from runes of battle, and the one attached to the wraithblades would trade one rolled power for the iyanden primaris that confers battle focus and furious charge to all wraith units within 12 inches.

I envision the wraithguard units marching up the field, providing cover for the wraithseer and wraithlords (think the old necron warrior phalanxes), while the knight focuses on using his heavy wraithcannons to hunt down vehicles and other monstrous creatures.  The crimson hunter would help provide AA and anti-armor support.  Finally, the warp spiders would utilize their speed and firepower to take out infantry hordes or light vehicles.
