hmm..usually you would put warlocks in with another squad, but you dont have any to put them in!
i would spend those points on a squad of howling banshees. wraithguard are pretty slow, and the HBs can be in the wave serpant for a fast flank attacker together with the harliquins and vypers.
otherwise, i like it!

no wraithlords braindeleted? tsk tsk. although the prisms are nice with their combined beams rule wraithlords would be more fluffy. bit low on body count too. i think that i'd drop the warlock body guard, have the seer hide in a unit of wraithguard and spend the points on a lord and a few more harlies kisses, and maybe a troupe leader. btw, who was going to ride in the wave serpent? the harlies? they certainly don't need it.

Yes the harlaquins are in the serpant...I think my line of thinking was to protect them from fire since they aren't too resilent? or I just wanted another tank

As long as the Harlequins have a Shadowseer with Veil of Tears, they don't need a transport... they're a right pain to shoot when they have that power! You'll get 1 round of shooting off max at them before they'll be in combat. A Wave Serpent really isn't needed!

as an example of how not to go, heres an iyanden list of ultimate cheese that was once used against me. i can't remember to points but the list basically broke down like this,

farseer with mind war x2
10 wraithguard, warlock with destructor x3
wraithlord with brightlance x3
1000ish pts

each unit of guard hid behind a lord. as the lord is a monstrous creature i couldn't shoot past it to target the guards. the lords brightlances made a mess of my vehicles as they advanced. when the wraith guns got within range the lord moved over so that the guard could shoot. the farseers were only there to mindwar any lascannons i took, so protecting his wraithlords a bit longer.

i got my ass handed to me on a plate in that game. if you wanna keep your friends, don't copy this list.

looks a lot better. the only thing you might want to consider is to split off the brightlance vyper into another squadron on its own. that'll allow you to specialise each squadron and fire at more than one target per turn. a bit more economical. use the single vyper to hunt tanks and the other two to kill infantry, or have a go at a stubborn tank with a krak missile if you have to.

the guy in question didn't use it as his standard list but created it as a bit of a laugh. then he said 'i've just made an unbeatable list, anyone wanna try their luck?' it was kinda like a gauntlet hitting the table, we just lined up to try and prove that theres no such thing as an unbeatable list. he massacered 17 armies in a row until someone ran an all genestealer list at him. so it turns out it was only nigh unbeatable.
