HI, this list is made for a friendly tournament where I will be most likely facing a grand majority of the 40k races so I tried to make it as generalistic as possible, Although I know I probably didn't achieve it so I need all of you guys beating the c*** of the list.

And also allowing for a bit of versatility there is a 500 its sideboard in this tournment, in case anybody doesn't know what it is it is an extra 500pts that have to be composed by full units or dedicated transports or bodyguards, and any of this units may be added to the list taking out of it as many full units as you want as long as you're still in 1750 its so that allows a tiny bit of tailoring against other armies, so here goes the list.

I used to play third edition and I'm not completely sure how it all works now but I think I've grasped quite well.

Farseer would be with Dire Avengers.
Autarch would be with Guardians

The main Idea is to move flat out first turn, next turn have the Farseer guide the Dire Avengers and doom the opposing unit while shooting them using bladestorm and then charge with the howling Banshees or the guardians depending on which unit it is.
The Fire Dragons would go in the Falcon and would basically go after the toughest nuts of the enemies army and, if necessary go for a bit of a tank hunt.
The Guardian jet bikes would go as reserves, the autarch makes them a bit more reliable, and would be mainly for objective grabbing.
The swooping hawks would deep strike and they would be my main tank hunters, I haven't tried them yet but Haywire grenades look quite good.
The War Walkers would scout and outflank, and weather I go first or second they would start in play or go in as reserves.

That is mainly it, also I have no clue what t put on the sideboard.

Nice list, i love the format!

I would switch out the storm guardians for more dire avengers or jetbikes and try to fit a wraithlord in somewhere.
I'd also give the farseer doom instead of fortune.
Other than that, great army list. I'm a big fan of fire dragons and howling banshees and they should do you well against marine armies and the dire avenger's and hawks good against horde armies.
Overall, a good and well balanced list.

I concur.

The farseer is missing the 'Runes of Warding'. Other than that nice list.
