Any thoughts or ideas

I see what you did there!

My guess is you plan to get the Eldrad serpent near to the squad of warwalkers to guide them?

If so... I have to say... I like this list! The only changes I personally would make, is changing the DAVU serpents EMLs to Scatter Lasers, as the Scatter Laser is slightly more effective than the EML, and is cheaper than the EML as well.

Other than that, I think you did great! Keep up the great lists, and I would love to see some Batreps

Yeah, pretty much. Fortune the Fire Dragons for their mad dash to the enemy line, then sit near the walkers (or use the walkers to give Eldrads ride cover) and guide their shots into the masses. I also like the walkers scout ability for outflanking.

As for the list, how about

Scatter lasers for the 2 full DA squad serpents,
Leave the EML on Eldrads ride for the long range MEQ/Tank punch, and with the 10 points free, give Eldrads ride a SS?

Oh and as for batreps, those will be awhile in coming, as im still getting the models together and getting em painted =(
I will prolly start a WIP thread at some point.

All the above changes sound great to me. Your tactics sound pretty feasible to me, and you have all your basics covered.

Looks like you're ready to go by my eyes!

I look forward to seeing the list after painting!
