It’s no secret that Eldar may be a bit overpowered, and it really should come as no surprise about what’s in these lists either. Come see the new scrawny xenos lists to beat!
Clearly taking Wraithknights is a “no-brainer” when it comes to Eldar army construction. Here’s the two lists that were nigh unbeatable at the 2015 ATC’s.
Tony Grippando scored 172 points overall, and led his team with a vicious FOUR Wraithknight list that switched out a 5th ‘Knight for more fast movers to scoop up objectives and play grab ass in general. Looks like 6th and 7th Edition metas may have combined to form a monster here folks!

Variant List: 5 Wraithknights (and some other stuffs to you know, make it legal).
Played by Austin “Knight 12” Wingfield. This list isnt’t quite as robust as the one above that can score more objectives, however it can make up for it just on sheer weight of the 5 (count them) FIVE Wraithknights!

Both lists are super deadly but can suffer greatly from alpha striking Grav and “D” weapons! Remember to dip your toes into cover, and try for some extra cover bonuses from warlord traits and don’t forget your Feel no Pain rolls and these lists are good too good!
Remember folks, with great power comes great responsibility. Use these lists for good!
Next up, the hard counter to these lists. Rock, Paper, Grim Dark?
