I want to run Farseer Bel-Annath in a list but I am having trouble deciding where to put him. Also, I want to take advantage of his guaranteed Fortune, but I'm not sure what unit would benefit most from it. Maybe Asurmen in a unit of Scytheguard? A fortuned squadron of Hornets with Pulse Lasers and Holofields sounds nasty as well. What do you think?

I think you just created a whole new meta with that...I wish i had some Tau.
Any thoughts on running him in a pure Eldar list?

Eldar wraithguard work well, and sense your using the forge world book with corsairs in it, i would get an corsair prince with a shadow field. 2+ invulnerable tanking for the wraith guard is just insane. Would also let the wraith guard deep strike.

So, yeah. There is one small problem. His psychic powers reference page 28 of the Eldar codex.
Page 28 of the Eldar codex has no psychic powers listed.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

While this is indeed true, I created this post under the assumption that my gaming group would allow me to use him with the corresponding powers from the current codex.

That is because you need the Forgeworld update: Bel-Annath, Farseer of the Mymeara Craftworld ( IA11: The Doom of Mymeara, p144) Bel-Annath gains the following special rule, which replaces the Psychic Powers rule: Psyker (Mastery level 1). Note that his Spirit Stones will increase his Mastery level to Mastery level 2 during play. Bel-Annath may choose to either use the Psychic powers listed on his profile (ie, Eldritch Storm, Fortune and Mind War as detailed on page 28 of the Eldar Codex and amended in the Eldar FAQ found on the Games Workshop website), or he may generate three powers from either the Divination, Pyromancy or Telepathy Psychic Disciplines from the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Forgeworld units tend to be quite underwhelming crunch wise as a rule.

4th edition Farseer with same upgrades and powers comes out to 155 points. So for the extra 20 points, you are getting +1 WS, +1 A, 12" Stubborn bubble, and a one use template weapon.
As I have no idea how GW/ FW determines point cost I intentionally did not try to figure it out.

Ha...ask 60 pt lictors or 40 pts biovores. Or Carnifexes through the editions. Or any Terminator that isn't a Paladin.

I had a small look at the Mymeara book a while back, does Bel-Annath change the Force Org at all?
