So, I'm in the process of acquiring a bunch of Eldar stuff off eBay and I'm pondering how to build an Iyanden army... Anyone have any suggestions on this? I'd like to hear some other people's input before I post my own ideas.

For me, Iyanden is like other but you definately need more Wraithguard and possibly Dreadn.. I mean Wraithlords.
For "standard sized" battles you need to aim for at least 2, preferably 3, wraihguard formations, i.e. 12 or 18 bases. I use 3 per base to extend wraithguard population (and they are that big anyway)

Not that many jetbikes and aspects needed, tho'

Probably should have been more clear  :laugh:  I mean in terms of army building, what should go into a list and what people's experiences with them are. I fully plan to field at least 2 Wraithguard formations and probably a Wraithlord formation as well (I'm a sucker for robot-ish things, and the Wraithguards/Wraithlords are just really cool all the way around!)

Well, right now I've got two different constructions in mind. The first one is for an aircraft-and-tanks centered army backed up by air-dropped Wraithguard:

Iyanden Flying Circus
3,000 Points

Eldar Spirit Warhost w/ 6x Wraithguard, 1x Wraith Seer (450) - BTS

Eldar Spirit Warhost w/ 6x Wraithguard, 1x Spirit Seer (350)

Warwalker Troupe w/ 6x Warwalkers (200)

Swords of Vaul w/ 6x Falcons. (300)

Swords of Vaul w/ 6x Falcons. (300)

Shields of Vaul w/ 3x Nightspinners (175)

Shields of Vaul w/ 3x Nightspinners (175)

Nightwing Interceptors w/ 3x Nightwings (300)

Nightwing Interceptors w/ 3x Nightwings (300)

Vampire Raider (200)

Vampire Raider (200)

Wraithgate (50)

The second is a more ground-based force centered around using some wraithgates and the durability of the wraithguards/wraithlords to survive and push against the enemy:

Iyanden War Party
3,000 Points

Eldar Spirit Warhost w/ 6x Wraithguard, 1x Wraith Seer (450)

Eldar Spirit Warhost w/ 6x Wraithguard, 1x Spirit Seer (350)

Wraithlord Troupe w/ 6x Wraithlords (350)

Revenant Titans w/ 2x Revenant (650)

Ranger Troupe w/ 4x Eldar Rangers (100)

Ranger Troupe w/ 4x Eldar Rangers (100)

Aspect Warrior Troupe w/ 4x Dark Reapers, 4x Falcons. (435)

Wraithgate (50)

Swords of Vaul w/ 4x Falcons, 1x Firestorms. (250)

EoV Troupe w/ 1x Storm Serpent (250)

I was considering for the first one dropping the Supreme Commander and the Wraithgate and 1 Falcon from the two Swords of Vaul troupes in favor of a third Swords of Vaul troupe at 5 strong. But, that'd give me two formations tied for BTS, and no Supreme Commander re-roll, so not sure I'll go with that or not...
