Hello, I've tried to build this list as much of competitive as I could, and also around two boxes of combat patrol. It should be good all-around for tournament settings.

-hq- farseer 90 (relic: weeping stones, power: fateful divergence, focus will)
-hq- farseer 90 (relic: ghosthelm of alizhasier, power: doom, executioner, ghostwalk)
-troop- guardian defenders (20, 2x missile launcher) 230
-troop- rangers (5, gloomfield) 70

Battle plan;
Rangers hold backfield objectives, 3x fireprism provide firesupport (linked fire for tough targets, phantasm for re-deployment). Windriders move forward in flanks for objectives, shining spears are counter-attack unit. The guardian defenders move midfield and provide screen for the psykers, supported by wraithlord. As for the powers, the will of asuryan, empower and guide goes for shining spears, fortune goes for defenders, protect/jinx is situational, the doom is for anything tougher, the ghostwalk and the executioner are in reserve. The farseer with doom attempts warp ritual, and after that casts doom with stratagem.

So, I'd like to hear your opinion about it. The tournament that I'm planning to attend is at the end of July, so plenty of time to play test and paint.

A couple things worth mentioning (imo)

1. The guardian blob is pretty pricey for t3 models that will die to a stiff breeze even with psychic support. I’d personally go min and park them on the backfield. You’d be better off with some axe blade wraithguard as a screen.
2. Think a min squad of shining spears with a paragon blade exarch that has heart strikes might be almost as effective as a 6 man blob with just spears. The mortal wound output is insane from him alone.
3. I’d just invest fully into a max blob of wind riders instead of 2x6, you’ll get a better return from your stratagems. Also shuriken cannons on them will be fairly devastating once you couple with psychic powers and strats
4. With dropping the above units mentioned you can now probably afford a bodyguard screen of wraithguard that you can drop fortune and protect on and makes them very hardy. Might even have some points to give your wraithlords a bright lance each and they can utilise the reroll wound traits ulthwe bring.

Otherwise think it’s pretty balanced!
