Well, not a bad list but definitely improvable.
I'd mount the Farseer on a jetbike and give the Serpents underslung shuricannons. The normal Wraithguard unit is overrated as is Iyanden as a whole.

the purpose of the 5 man dire avenger squad without a serpent mystifies me.


find points to give it a serpent

I dont own any Jetbikes

The serpeants dont need a cannon, half the time they are going to be shap shooting and im not going to buy 30 pts of wargear if i wont use them fully. The 3 games ive played the wraithguard they have gained their points x 3.

The point of the 5 dire avenger squad is to give the spiritseer and farseer someway to live 1st turn not to mention it gives me and easy scoring unit on the back of the field.

With the seers in the Avenger squad, what is the plan for using them? I only ask because most people would like to have either a buffing seer (which there is little for you to buff outside of the Wraithknight) or a malediction seer (which yours isn't mobile enough to achieve). I agree on the Serpents, I don't find that having the Cannon is worth it most of the time either.

Personally I don't like the Walker setup. If you drop the Farseer (which I'm not sure you need) to a Spiritseer then there would be enough points to add Starcannons to each Walker. Now you have the same range on both weapons, only lose one shot, but gain AP2 which would be helpful.

An while I will agree that having a backfield scoring unit is nice, as I mentioned it wastes the points invested in the immobile Seers as the rest of your army advances ahead of you.

Well the way i have been playing it, is i move the foot units up up the field w/ the rest of the so i can join other units once they get out of their transports. i have the Farseer to beast up other units, like fortune & forewarning(or what ever other divination i can get) on the wraithknight just to make it even more a threat.

The Warwalkers are really just for quick pop a tank or kill a squad in the back field. I dont see the point on ap2 shots for what they should be shooting at.

if you want a unit to hide backfeild, why drie avengers? why not rangers? cheaper, will 98% of the time be in range of something, and are better are staying alive.

no ranger models lol basicaly its the best at what i have

hmm ok. you got any scout sniper rifles from your space marines? and camo cloaks?
cut off scouts head, put on a gardian helm, and there you go! lol
