Kinda funny the way youve included serpent price in the guardian price and then again separate.

This list looks very crisp and i think we'll c similar lists doing very well in competitive play. Its gonna struggle against flyers but at least everything is in av so heldrakes wont be to scary. Gunline armies might be tough if they can neuter your fire prisms. I dont c MCs or hordes being an issue at all. Also your more mobile than any cc list but they're not really around anymore are they...

Yeah, I agree that gun line lists are the hardest thing for this list, what would you suggest to counter them
edit: oh yeah. And I just fixed the weird point value thing with the serpents

Have you thought about taking dark reapers instead of a fire prism or warp spiders?

Yeah, but they're just so expensive and the ap3 that they offer is in both the more resilient fire prisms. Also in terms of AA only the exarch can get the overcosted flakk missiles.

I don't know if it would be better to take two squads of 5, or one squad of 10 warp spiders. 2 squads of 5 wnt do as much damage, unless you kept them close and shot at the same thing. Did you do that because so it's harder to kill 2 squads, instead of 1, or for a different reason?

Otherwise I really like the list.

I'm kind of torn on that myself, they do offer up double kill points and they are less resilient; however, I could possibly kill 2 vehicles when they come in instead of one, but then I really like the firepower of a full ten man and how much harder they are to kill

Then I would take the one squad. There's next to no way that the two squads would each pop a vehicle when they come in, and they would just get focused down.

good call, that's kind of the same thought that I had... Just changed it

Does anybody have any ideas on how I could drop this list to 1850?

Anyone have any ideas for making this list an 1850 list?

Drop the spinner and either one warp spider or down grade a cannon to a catapult

when guardians are in WSs you don't need warlocks.

lose the warlocks, drop the bright lances on the guardians to shuriken cannons (you'll be unloading fire at infantry squads not tanks) and 1 warp spider, then thats still good at 1850
