any thoughts?

CnC welcome, will probably not change my shopping list but when aming for 1500 i'm gonna get Fire Dragons and maybe a wraithlord

I don't know how well splitting up mech and foot dar is going to work out. It might be better to run another squad of dire avengers in a serpent instead of the guardians.

In stead of putting your seer council in a wave serpent you could put them on bikes. That way you have a unit to blow up tanks and take out heavy infantry.

Striking scorpions aren't the best choice for your elite slot. I would use those points to put in more war walkers.

I don't play many low point games anymore but I hope that helps

I don't have the funds to put my council on bikes =/ yet... Will as soon as i have the money though. And i really like the guardians but i don't want to waste the serpent. I am going to get more scorpions in time, and some dragons to take up the wave serpent and some awesome anti-tank. Oh and btw you do know that this is for planetstrike so all but vehicles and beasts can deep strike

I see a lot of things I would change, but thats because we have different playstyles I guess, so I'll try to not change your list too much.

- I would drop those Warlocks. If the WS had assault ramp it would be another story but warlocks in a WS is not that great.
- Put those 2 warwalkers in the same squad (add a 3rd one if you want) so they arrive at the same time. This is of course assuming you put the in reserves to flank and shoot.
- With the leftover points from Warlocks, throw in a squad of Fire dragons to take out his heaviest mech fast, like broadsides.
- Scorpions, love 'em. But I would add a power claw here to be able to do someting against his mech. And if you can add 4 more scorpions that would be ever better!
- Swap out mind war for guide. Guided DA/WW+Doomed enemy=death.

There, some small changes without altering the core of your list.

I like the idea Stvafel, guide doesn't seem as useful with a council but putting the farseer with the DA seems even more usefull^^ The extra ws i will get can drive the dragons maybe=D

For that i should buy a scorpio box and a fire dragon box in adition to the Battleforce. I could later expand with 3serpents (for the guardians) and an extra WW, then fill out my heavy slots with nightspinners/prisms (interchangeable turrets ;D)

How does that sound?

Yeah, the FD's really need a WS to transport them, though you can count on them being your opponents highest priority to take out, might want to consider holo fields here just to increase your odds. But if you reach the destination anything you point them at will die.
Though I must object to the idea of having guardians in a WS, plus I dont think you can do that since they have a weapon platform.
For the HS slot, if you can only afford 1 I'd go for nightspinner and aim his infantry but if you can afford 2 I'd go for the Prisms and aim for high-prio targets.
I havent played around much with weapon platforms, but you might want to switch one of them scatters to an anti-vehicle turret and hope he'll focus on that one since he will want to protect his mech and leave the rest of your army alone.

The biggest change I would make is to remove the guardians and get more DA, but that would change too much in your list so it might not feel like "your" list anymore. If you like guardians and weapon platforms just go for it!

A bright Lance on a bs3 modell... Yes they can as the weapon is essentialy a marker to show that they have à weapon it is never used when drawing line of sight or counting models, it is assumed to be carried by the firing crew member. Oh and twin nightspinners are awesome when coupled with doom, just reroll all non rending wounds against against the bigger things^^

Oh ok, as I said I dont have any experience with weapon platforms
Yes, dual nightspinners are nice, but you already have more than enough anti-infantry in you list, thats why I would go 2 Fire Prisms.

I will try both (interchangeable turrets FTW ;D)
