It sure does look right.

Your army list is interesting. A few vehicles which is nice, some high power characters but very little depth or redundancy. I CAN see this working, if the dice are in your favour. But as it stands now, the force seems extremely fragile.

Id trim down the HQ to an autatch and a warlock. Drop the wraithfighter entirely and get more troops. Rangers and Avengers. That'll add short & med range fire power and lasting power.

Well, at the 750 pt level you cannot do much wrong.
If you want a competitive army, then you need to consider the Lanchester square law.
If you double the number of tanks, the enemy has to four-fold anti-tank.
If not, don't worry.

For a small list, it looks like a good mix for a fun TAC game.

I would note that Farseers only get 2 powers.

I would consider changing the Hemlock's power to Protect/Jinx. Reveal is ok, but Jinx does effectively the same thing but also debuffs units not in cover and units that rely on invulnerable saves.

for small games definitely drop the wraithfighter. but keep the spiritseer. The spiritseer is cheaper points, has two more wound, and has the d3 mortals for smite unlike the warlocks 1 mortal. i would drop the falcon for a wavesearpent if you can afford it. It has better guns, better Armour, shields, and more troop capacity.If you keep the spiritseer, then you should invest in a group of wraithguard. the spiritseer allows rerolling hits of one. other than that, i would get more boys
