Looks pretty scary... downright terrifying to anyone without S10+ weapons!

Wow... My Xestobiax Knights got a big old boost! Still undecided as to whether or not I'll keep the Despoilerr or swap out for an Abominant, but there were enough point breaks to pick up a 4th War Dog!
Chaos Knights
Chaos Cerastus Knight Castigator (420+35=455) - Castigator Bolt Cannon - Tempest Warblade - Lord of Dread (Start of fight phase pick a unit within engagement and force a BS test)
Chaos Knight Atrapos (405+30=435) - Graviton Singularity Cannon - Atrapos Lascutter - Traitor's Mark (Doom & Darkness active from 1st turn onwards)
Knight Despoiler (410+40=450) - 2x Despoiler Battle Cannons - 3x Diabolus Heavy Stubbers - Ruinspear Rocket Pod - Panpoly of the Cursed Knights (-1 AP from incoming attacks)
War Dog Moirax (170 - 2x Conversion Beam Cannons - Armored Feet
War Dog Moirax (170) - 2x Conversion Beam Cannons - Armored Feet
War Dog Karnivore (160) - Reaper Chaintalon - Slaughterclaw - Diabolus Heavy Stubber
War Dog Karnivore (160) - Reaper Chaintalon - Slaughterclaw - Diabolus Heavy Stubber
2000 points on the nose
Conversion beams are 1 shot, but on a 4+ score a critical for a further D3 sustained, and all hit at S10 // AP-2 // D3. Hitting on 3's, but a 50% chance to proce D3 additional shots, which is pretty cool; just need to make sure to keep them on the back objectives, as the ability can only proc if they're further than 12" away from their target. They only have a 24" range, so I like that they're not long-bombing shots across the board, and within 12, they're not good either. They have a definite "sweet spot".
Castigator Bolt Cannon is a monster at 18 shots // BS3+ // S6 // AP-2 // D2; plus the tempest warblade is still a mulching machine on either strike or sweep profiles. Lastly, it "suppresses" any non monster or vehicle it fires, giving them a -1 to hit debuff across all phases in their next turn. Passively gives war dogs within 6" sustained 1 on all weaponry...
Strike = 4@ // WS3+ // S14 // AP-4 // D6 Sweep = 12@ // WS3+ // S9 // AP-3 // D2
Atrapos got some odd up and downgrades, but is still a cool dude. Lascutter (low intensity) - Sustained 1 - 36" // 2D6@ // BS3+ // S7 // AP-1 // D2 Lascutter (high intensity) - Sustained 1 - 24" // D6@ // BS3+ // S14 // AP-3 // D4 Lascutter (low intensity) - Sustained 1 - Melee // 12@ // BS3+ // S7 // AP-1 // D2 Lascutter (high intensity) - Sustained 1 - Melee // 6@ // BS3+ // S14 // AP-3 // D4 Singularity Cannon (contained) - Blast - 24" // D3@ // BS3+ // S16 // AP-4 // D6+1 Singularity Cannon (singularity) - Blast, Devastating, Hazardous - 24" // D3@ // BS3+ // S16 // AP-4 // D6+1
I don't know why anyone would ever fire using the Singularity mode... unless it's a typo and the singularity should have more shots? It's the same profile but without hazardous & devastating. I just don't see the need to with AP-4... Also, the Lascutter used to be a single shot at 9", it got a huge boost, whereas the sungularity used to do a bunch more shots, so I'm not sure why his big cannon has so few attacks, but his melee weapon is pew-pew-pewing all over the battlefield. *shrug* He also gets +1 to hit monster and vehicles, so... all of those attacks are on 2's agains his favored target, AND if they're titanic or towering he gets +1 to wound; passively gives war dogs within 6" a re-roll to hit vs. titanic/towering.
Plus Karnivores, because they're cool!

An Aeldari idea.
Does it have models I think are cool? Yeah. Is it good? Not very likely, but I think it has some good models in it!
I haven't looked at strategies, best units, synergy, anything like that. I've wanted to put some of these models on a table for a while, though this is REALLY far down the line on projects as I only own... like 6 of the models present in the list.
Non-Battleline 10x Shadow Spectres w/ Prism Rifles & Irillyth attached 10x Shadow Spectres w/ Prism Rifles 10x Shadow Spectres w/ Prism Rifles Skathach Wraithknight - Deathshroud Cannon, 2x Starcannons, Scattershield, Titanic Feet Avatar of Khaine - Wailing Doom 10x Dark Reapers w/ Exarch & Maugan Ra Attached 3x Shroud Runners 3x Shroud Runners War Walker w/ 2x Bright Lances War Walker w/ 2x Bright Lances
1955 Points

Shadow Spectres are probably the best Aeldari infantry currently. Skathach is sadly not great compared to the regular wraith knight. Maybe need some more things to do objectives and stuff but it's a super cool list.
