any thought on this list
not sure wheter to go for expensive farseer or just get eldrad

Well its a mixed list with infantry and tanks. I'd go for a fully mech army here. Moreover, two HQs are not a must-have at this pt level. Both HQs are too expensive. After all, they are only support characters.

The core could be:

Farseer w/ runes of warding, doom or guide

2x 5 Fire Dragons in Serpents (stones, shuricannon or scatterlaser)

2x 10 Dire Avengers with bladestorm in Serpents.

Yeah, or one small squad of DA in Falcon to cut costs, and giving Fire Dragons the cheapest Wave Serpent out there (with spirit stones). Basically, what I came up with, is sth like this:


HQ
Farseer (stones, both runes, Doom and Guide, singing spear) - 153pts

Elites
2x 5xFD - 160pts
-in 2x Wave Serpent (TL shuriken cannon and spirit stones) - 220pts

Troops
2x 5xDA - 120pts
- in Falcons
10xDA w/Exarch (dual catapults and Bladestorm) - 152pts
- in Wave Serpent (TL BL and stones) - 145pts

Heavy Support
2x Falcon (spirit stones, holofields and EML) - 360pts
3x War Walker (SL on two, and EML on one) - 190pts

As you can see I keep all troops in transports, that're capable of blowing vehicles. Despite FD of course, as they are like suicides. Farseer is cheap, as he just helps a bit.

I don't say it's the best list, but maybe it will help you a bit.

Not a bad list. The Farseer could guide the FD's or Warwalkers and doom a unit to be shot by the 10 men DA squad.
However, I'd take 3 Warwalkers with scatterlasers which means 24 guided shots. Ouch!

I just had those few pts, that I didn't know what to do with (that's why I took EML).

My only pain is that farseer can't guide two things. It would be so much more effective, as everything has this poor BS :(

That autarch would do good by getting replaced by a Farseer. It would also be a good idea to try and stick to just mech or footdar so your not spread out. Try to focus on one aspect, your either mech or not.
