Thoughts on this list? I've got quite a lot of the models but need the hemlocks and swooping hawks. Plan is for the guardians to claim any objectives in the backfield or be used as a meat shield while the fast units manoeuvre around and do their thing.

Warlord trait, psychic powers, strategems?
This needs to be planned ahead.
Guardians are better in a unit of 20 as a shock and awe unit.

Personally I'd drop the wraithlord for a farseer. May need some point alterations.

3 hemlocks is pretty bold, play a few games and see how you feel about it. I'd be tempted to change one to an exarch with starcannons but that's personal preference.

Huge fan of the war walkers but again see how they do.

Indeed, Wraithlords are meh, too slow and too less damage output.
Farseers on jetbikes are able to buff or debuff pretty well.
Therefore, I never go out without one.

Personally I love the combo of jetbike Farseer + Warlock running around together.

I really want to like Wraithlords and have used them effectively from time to time but I agree they are not a great option in a competitive game. But if you like them you certainly can make it work as IF they get into melee against non horde unit they will do some serious damage.
