What kills this list?

A couple of Culexus assassins allied with a SkyHammer would do it. Heavy Flyer/FMC lists would give you fits. Tyranid horde would do a number, especially if they get anything with Synapse into cc: "You lost combat by 1, now take a LD -4 test."

Otherwise it looks like a fun list. You keep posting lists with the Seer Council. It makes me want to take another look at its possibilites

Ha-ha I mean realistically seer council can be real good-especially on bikes if you get the right spells- invisibility, combined with ignores cover on divination and a farsight apocolyptic bomb- only problem is the army is gonna be expensive to build

I've been an avid fan of the Seer Council for a chunk of time now; I find their biggest strength is force multiplication. A Fortuned Wraithknight here, Guided/Prescienced Scatbikes there, Jinxed Artificer Hero, etc.

Biggest weakness of this list is any alpha strike army in a game where you aren't going first. Second biggest weakness is a Culexus, in my meta they're much more common than they should be due to the Librarius Conclave.

Objectives may hurt you since the council cannot really split up, everything else dies and the council lives.

Culexus assassins in pods will hurt but if you have an ally to screen your council so they can't get into range then you are good.

heavy armour will hurt, don't get me wrong I've killed entire armoured columns with the seer council but imperial knight units will put the stomp down and may be able to catch up with you

Oh and an ITC format may wreak you when they remove the 2+ rerollable saves

Yeah. I'm UK based, where they don't usually use that silly ITac rewriting of the rules. Comp is one thing, but come on! The idea is, terrain dependent, warp spiders can be super useful for null deployment. But yes, going second vs drop pods would suck balls.

One council is fearless and the council is super good at avoiding combat when necessary. Plus there are lots of good fearless spells for the other one.

I figure with two councils and two farseers who hide in them, I have 4 units minimum for endgame. (If everything goes badly)

I only post lots of council lists because I have modelled a cool council and people often give good tips on here. The alpha strike pod thing is definitely a real issue. Those games probably become a toss up. If I go first I have a good shot, if I go second I am screwed.
