If I lose it is because I had bad luck, if you win it is because you cheated. |

2608, give or take a few points. So your way off. Too far off to give a reliable critique for a 2000pt list.
Points to shave.. eldrad..Double dooming for the dire avengers..perhaps? What else is he gonna be used for? The farseer jetbike, get rid of that... guide instead of doom & sticking him with one of the fire dragons is just so cool.
Withdraw is a waste as you really reeally dont want these guys to get into combat, to get charged. You can do this with good use of your assault move. Surprise assault is either useless or near useless in 5ed if I am to understand deep-strike deployement rules correctly. (50pts combined over two squads)
The first 6 choices makes a very solid core. Trim 35ish points to make it fit into 1500pts. Add in another wave-serpent troop-choice and doom for that farseer (it should have guide by now!) for higher point games.

Horrible Hekatrix With Hydra Gauntlets

At 2000, this list will be more reliable: Farseer, Jetbike, Doom, Fortune, Spirit Stones, Runes of Warding - 155 Autarch, Jetbike, Laser Lance, Fusion Gun, Mandiblasters - 140 Elites 10 Howling Banshees, Exarch w/ Mirrorswords and Warshout, Wave Serpent, Starcannon - 312 Troops 6 Jetbikes, 2 Shurikencannons, Warlock w/ Conceal - 202 6 Jetbikes, 2 Shurikencannons, Warlock w/ Conceal - 202 6 Jetbikes, 2 Shurikencannons, Warlock w/ Conceal - 202 6 Jetbikes, 2 Shurikencannons, Warlock w/ Conceal - 202 Fast Attack 5 Shining Spears, Exarch w/ Withdraw - 212 Vyper with brightlance - 75 Heavy Support Fire Prism, Holo-field Fire-Prism, Holo-field Total: 2002 As you can see i'm a Yme-Loc player, but you could adapt this list by dropping some jetbikes for Dire Avengers in a Wave-Serpent. The idea is that the Bikes and Seer dart around causing chaos, while The autarch and Shining Spear bodyguard can kill anything (especially Termies), and the banshees should be able to take a 10-man Meq Squad in Close-combat, especially with the Farseer Dooming the target and the Wave serpents starcannon joining in. They should also do well against most teq's, but be wary of Grey Knight Terminators - these can pack a huge punch and if you don't kill all of them they'll be killing several Banshees a turn. The Vyper and Prisms are for anti-tank, anhd the prisms can template death msot hordes, as well as being to wipe out an entire meq squad pretty relainbly. This is excellent against necrons - AFAIK is you knock down hi lord and all those Necron Warriors, they won't be able to get back up. VH

Executing Exarch

Where is he going and what is he going to be doing? Is he going to double guide the war walkers and then fortune one of them? Do you plan to double guide and doom the dire avengers? What do you want him doing?
8 Man Fire Dragon w/ Exarch ; Wave Serpent, spirit stones , TL Missile Launcher w/ Shuriken Cannon
8 man is a bit large for dragon unit. 6 is usually enough but I suppose it does help against terminators and the like. The exarch is a waste though, get rid of him and just take a normal dragon in his place. The wave serpent also needs work. Sure you can do some good anti infantry work with that setup, but it is expensive. You will probably be better served by just taking cheepy serpents for these guys (shuriken cannons on the turret). Keep the spirit stones and maybe pick up star engines (if you think you'll need the rapid redeployment they allow).
10 man Dire Avenger w/ Exarch Blade Storm ; Wave Serpent; TL Bright Lance , spirit stones
Looks good
6 Man Bike w/ 2 Shuriken cannons ; Warlock w/ Conceal , singing spear 200ish
Conceal isn't really going to help you out that much. Your bikes have a 3+ save and can turbo boost to make it an I save. Giving them a 5+ cover save on top of that is kind of a waste. Either drop the warlock completely (and get another bike or 2) or give him destructor or embolden.
8 man warp spider + Exarch w/ Dual Spinners , 200ish
I'm not a fan of spiders but this looks like a decent setup for them.
3 Warwalkers w/ Scatter Lasers 180
Looks great. I would consider them prime targets for guide if you have it near them.
