This is a fifth edition list.
The wraithgaurd are for capturing objectives, and will have the jetbike farseer. The rangers and heavey support will provide long range cover, and the banshees will gaurd them, and support the wraithgaurd. The less equiped farseer will fortune the reapers and the Fire Prism.

Your howling banshees will be very vunerable and unprotected. i think you should take atleast one wave serpant for them. and a farseer in assualt is one affective when it comes to one on one, you should trade in the farseer on jetbike for autarch on jet bike but thats just my opinion

how do you deal with tanks? one fire prism isnt really enough, especially dow that the prism scatters. you will need bright lances. wraithlords are a good choice (as well as very hard to kill) and you may also need to give your farseers singing spears.

your banshees will be shot to peices. you cant hide behind cover anymore and T3 with a 4+ save will die in droves. you need to put them in transports.

one small squad of rangers dont reallt contribute anything. drop them to pay for other things that you need.

Thanks for the suggestion, I am low on anti tank. I was going to use the pathfinders to hold objectives by my territory, but I have enough troops to do without them. I will upgrade the farseers to have singing spears. I think I will also drop the banshees for shining spears and an exarch with a bright lance. As for the farseer, I was using him more for his psychic ability over his cc potential.
In fifth edition, do template wepons negate cover saves?
