*****************************************
My gaming group has been very hesitant with all of the changes in 6th edition, allies and fortifications are relatively new additions but with this coming up tournament a lot more rules are supposed to be allowed. Nothing like escalation or formations, but forgeworld has a possibility of being allowed. Anyway, I've played a variant of this list before and it performed very well. Let me know what you guys think

UPDATE: The fire prism was dropped for 2 war walkers with brightlances and I dropped powerblades off of my warp spider exarch and put shuriken cannons on my DAVU wave serpents. Keep the reviews coming

Only thing I have never been sold on is the autarch with WJJ, reason being is because 2/2 games hes always died due to rolling doubles (probably a phenomenon, but has left a bad taste) if your not planning on making WJJ movements in the assault faze, or can spread them out enough for cohesion, you can swap out the WJJ for swooping wings, moves same amount plus gives him hammer of wrath.

It's worked out really well for me so far, so I'll leave it until I have problems.

What changes would you make for this list, if your gaming group let in escalation/stronghold?

Solid list. I know you have the exarch with powerblades to eat challenges for the Autarch, but I would drop the powerblades. For the cost, you could buy an extra spider for the 2nd squad. The autarch should be accepting challenges against anything that your exarch could take, and anything your autarch would avoid is something your powerblade exarch won't stand a chance against(and you probably won't charge).

is the fire prism enough ranged AT for this size force? Otherwise, your top AT is 6 (not including the Dragons)

Warp spiders get S7 against any vehicles besides I4 walkers, but yeah it is light in the AT dept. Needs lances on the walkers IMO.

Only advise would be to drop the extra fire dragon (5 is enough) give a singing spear to the farseer, then a shuiken cannon to one of the serpents.

I like to add Vectored Thrusters to my Fire Dragons Serpents, ensures they get into Melta range, and my serpent doesn't have it's backside exposed.

Split the spiders into 3 units perhaps?
Two six man groups and a 7 w/Exarch for your Autarch to jump in.

I'd like to see the Walkers get BL's, just to sure up your AT shooting. You'll have the S6/7 covered with the serpents, vypers and Spiders.

Find some points to give the Serpents Shuricannons too, I never leave home without them

If FW is being allowed I would look at Hornets over Vypers. For 20 extra points you could have 2 Hornets with 4 Pulse Lasers.

Will there be sufficient LOS blocking terrain and/or light on cover ignoring shooting? It is a bit of an unknown factor when I look at your Farseer.

I play in the same group and usually there is good LOS blocking terrain to give players a chance against Tau/Eldar gunlines. You can never be completely sure though.
