Give him a power sword and the same kit as before for more anti horde/marines. Give him a chainsword and mandiblasters and a shuriken pistol and he can be with scorpions, or defend rangers from hordes. But you can change him up for different types of combat. He can also be used to defend stationary units from cc attacks, like in a unit of rangers or dark reapers.Д¬oming in at around 80 to 90 points he is a cost effective HQ. Remember that any Exarch powers also effect the Autarch. He can be a close combat master on his own, and pairs well with with Exarchs at I6, making the squad LD10 and gives the army +1 to all reserve rolls, very useful for all units but especially for Swooping Hawks. I am just going to focus on viable/ useful tactics, and not get into all possible builds and combinations. The biggest change in 5th edition, the Run rule, does not effect many Eldar units, but the 3+ save units all got a boost. I wrote this mostly for fun, but also with an eye to how 5th edition has changed things. There have been a couple changes that toned down some of the uber-cheese (easier to penetrate Skimmers, as well as the change to the Consolidation rule) but the Eldar book remains viable. So that's that.The 4th Edition Eldar Codex was released in 2006, in the middle of 4th edition 40k and was quickly recognized as one of the dominant books. tests, a Riptide is very likely to run for the hills. The Hemlock is fast enough to catch them (if they *don't* have Intercept, that's a gamble), and between Terrify and re-rolling Ld. My main inspiration for even writing this article was facing twin-Riptides on the table. Watch the range and LoS over enemy models to try to make sure the Hemlock Wraithfighter is where you need it to be when you need it there. Of course, all of that said, the Hemlock (like the Crimson Hunter) is essentially dead if it hits a table with Dedicated AA with Interceptor still standing, so be careful. If you have the powers/dice, you can hit the Wraithfighter with Shrouding and/or Invisibility to give it a better chance at surviving a turn or two. The Psychic Powers build also has the added bonus of defensive powers. Since the range got boosted to 18' since 7th Edition, you can even more reliably cast this power outside the Mindshock bubble. If I'm using a Wraithfighter, I'll also try to write up a list with two Farseers, each equipped with Psychic Shriek. Then, my favorite cake topper, throw around some Psychic Shriek. Force Pinning/Morale checks on units dropped that low, and re-rolling successful rolls, and you're practically guaranteed they'll fail. 6, and bringing those poor Tau and Orks into wetting-themselves territory. Warlocks with the Horrify power stack on top of Terrify for a total -4 Ld., taking even the toughest enemies down to Ld.

Third, and my favorite, Psychic Powers really make a mess in this combo.

There are three main ways to use this: with Pinning weapons, with dedicated melee, and with Psychic Powers. So long as there's Infantry on the table, it can come in and make a splash. Still, it's nice to have for when you don't Jink.ДЄlso, unlike the Crimson Hunter, the Wraithfighter doesn't rely on coming on before other Flyers, because it's not an Anti-Air unit (in fact, it's useless against Flyers). However, that IS a Witchfire, so Jinking (which you'll almost certainly have to do) essentially negates that option. Not to mention, in cases where Terrify isn't the best choice (say, against a Fearless unit), Psychic Focus grants the Wraithfighter Psychic Shriek as well, which is an incredibly nasty power. Not to mention that the Wraithfighter's biggest draw isn't it's guns, so Jinking isn't a huge sacrifice (plus, it's a better save than it was) and if you can hit it with Stealth/Shrouded, it actually has decent survivability. In addition, the Vehicle Damage Table has been upped slightly, so AV10 isn't (quite) the instant-dead button it used to be. However, now in 7th Edition, it does, as the Psychic Phase comes after the Movement phase. The biggest complaint about the Hemlock back in 6th edition was that that handy-dandy Terrify power didn't work on the turn it arrived (d'oh).
