1849 points

edited: changed out 1 Autarch for equipped farseer, Dropped ML's from gaurdians gave them B Lances. Added singing spears to warlocks. Changed weapons on vypers drasticaly. Might drop 60 point vyper to up the weaponary on the other 2 vypers and possibly spirit stones.

Idea is layered support. Avengers and Guardians move forward to objectives and lay down fire to anything within range. The wraithlords will follow the warlocks in the squads picking off tanks and hard targets that approach. The IC autarchs can lead the squads and break off to hit squads in hth or take down tanks if needed. The harlequins also provide hth support or if the opportunity arises break away from the army and charge into some squishies( 24 rending attacks on a charge is kinda nice). That leaves the falcon and vypers to pursue vehicles or models left in the enemies deployment zone.

let me know what ya'll think. If im overlooking something huge or if my list is pretty balanced. I try and build lists to handle whatever might come my way.

You don't need SoaP to win, but aspect warriors generally don't do as well without transport. Harlequins can be okay untransported, but they are devestating in a falcon.

edited list. realised a falcon can only hold 6 models so drop both harle squads to 6. Also dropped 1 wraithlord picked up 2nd falcon. This way I can mount both harle squads if need be depending on mission but most of the time probably will mount them. Also added spirit stones to the vypers. Or i could drop the spirit stones on the vypers and maybe one of the falcons and add 4 fusion pistols to the harle squads.....

Main problem I see is that your harlies will strike last if they charge into cover. I'd suggest paying the 30 points for the shadowseer just for that.

Why BL/Shurican on the vypers? Bright lance is wasted on anything a shurican will hurt. My suggestion would be move the bright lances to the guardian squads, and the missle launchers to the vypers, and drop the shuricans. With a 48" range it should be easier to decrease the number of shots at you, and since you die 1/2 the time to any glance, it's less of a vp loss.

I'm also not sold on your autarchs. Swapping one of them for a fortune/guide seer running along with the guardians would help more.

The shadow seer for harlequins is a good idea. Reason for the the winged autarchs is they can break off from whatever squad they lead and jump over to handle a hand to hand issue or a vehicle problem thats threatening that nothing else can get los to. Still a farseer is good choice as well. Not sure about swapping weapons on the vypers less I take a farseer and put bright lances in with guardians then fortune opens up things for them. Only thing with bright lance is whole unit is shooting at tank or heavy target since I cant split fire. Mainly would come into play when I want the shurikens and a blast missle hitting same target. Kinda a tough choice that I will have to think about, But some solid points to think about that I hadnt thought of thanks.
