Hi all, I'm new to the forums :)
I know there are already profiles for the old Space Fleet Eldar Wraithship (on Warp Rift, on BFG:R..) but I'm not very satisfied by any of them. So, looking at the model, I got an idea for a ship armed quite differently from the other available to Craftworld Eldar.
I would give this ship two Weapon Batteries, each of Strenght 5, one that shoots on Front/Left, the other that shoots on Front/Right.
This is quite unusual on Eldar ships, so would make it interesting to play, isn't it?
Well defined the main reason to be for this design, I would like to fine tune the rest.
I'm basing this design on the Armada Wraithiship and WarpRift one.
I would drop Torpedos to 2
I would set its speed to 15/20/25, (I like the idea of it being more "reliable" (speed is a bit faster when Sun is in it's worst position), but I don't think this ship needs a boost to 30 cm to its max speed)
especially if its Batteries range would be kept to 45cm (I'm quite on the fence of this, I suppose I'll have to playtest it using bots 30 and 45 ranges)
Hull points. While the 4 points given by WR seems a bit low, the ship looks slightly smaller than a "regular" Wraithship, so what about 5 ? I know, usually BFG ships don't have an odd value in this stat, but 5 would make it a little more fragile than Armada Wraithship, without weakening it too much (still needs 3 hits to become crippled).
ALso, I have no idea on how calculate point costs. There's any known formula?
Comments and Critics will be more than welcome, thank you :)

Odd value never been an option at BFG to calculate cripple value
Should you want something a bit different, here are the french BFG forum Spacefleet Wraithships, (extracts BFG FR Add-On Eldar Vaisseaux Mondes - "Craftworld Eldars")
