Reasoning...
1-- 2x Farseer should give me a decent amount of dice to deny a power here and there, while still being able to get some powers off
2-- I only have 4 grav tank hulls (not going to buy more)
3-- Double dragons is an old habit, hard to break. Could replace them for another DA unit in serpent and save 50 points.
4-- DA's have served me well in the past, can add that little extra firepower to aid another unit to help tip the scales.
5-- Bikes, because BIKES ARE AWESOME. 2x minimal units for objective grabs.
6-- Hawks, pinpoint objective caps in the new missions. Large blast, blind, haywire. Nice all-rounders.
7-- Spiders, never leave home without them. Never see the need for an Exarch, if they get caught they usually die. 10 shots can deal with small flanking units + light tanks easily enough
8-- Walkers, because more S6 shots

Any changes to be made that anyone can see?
Any glaring weakness?
Should i flip a FD unit to DA and spend those 50 points on an upgrade or three?

You have no AA.

Wave Serpents can perform sufficient AA with SL+shield

Spiders + Walkers can also perform decently.

I would move all wave serpents to objective scoring units and find another way to destroy armor in lieu of dragons. Then use either spiders or hawks

By dropping or consolidating a single Fast Attack it becomes a legal CAD and there is no need for a second cAD. If you plan on fielding it in a tournament, that means despite FOC restriction it's legal.

Otherwise, it's a solid list that will perform well.

@Kaiservonhugal - Objective Secured serpents are VERY tempting. Although i think i'd still like to keep at least 1 unit of FD, for old times sake / occasional LR.
Other anti-tank methods could be an option but given how well FD blow gak up, i'm not sure what would compare to their "melta to the face" approach.

@Zagman - Merging the two units of Spiders into 1 unit of 10 would be the easiest fix to make it a single FOC. Perhaps drop a few to obtain some upgrades. Larger unit may require Exarch.

Thank you.

The only changes I would make are changing the walkers weapons to BL, so you have decent AT turn 1.
