It was a lot of fun, we were so shooty, and the Farseer giving rerolls, I also had DOOM! Good times.

Id say its pretty solid but rangers just now are not worth it i feel they do not do enough damage for points. Also you need Holo feilds for 15 points gives you a potential 2+ save whilst in cover if you moved. Replace the rangers with more guardians or something like that im not sure or a fire prism.

I will give my advice in small points

- Split up the Ranger squads, there is no reason to have them as a large squad
- Drop the firepike, for 15 points it is not worth it at all
- The wraithlord is not kitted for a bright lance, I'd give him a starcannon to synergise with the AP2 ghostglaive
- I find the Falcon better with a bright lance, but that's just the way I play it
- I rarely take EML on Guardians, I prefer starcannons, shuriken cannons or bright lances. EMLs are just too expensive for what they bring.
- Runes of witnessing aren't really needed. I would only use them if I had enough points, otherwise it's better spent elsewhere.
- Farseer on jetbike with mantle of the laughing god is deadly.

But also.... Drop the exarch model completely from Firedragons, making the squad a 5 man. The will kill nearly anything in the game with just 5, so why add more?

Also just throwing this out there.....

Wave serpents are 99% better. At almost everything.

They are cheaper, harder to kill, and have better damage out put vs most things.

Drop falcon and take wave serpent. Now you may be saying... But whodunit with the BL it be better vs armour? Nope.
The only one thi g falcons better at is multiple wound t4 models wit h2+ armour. Only thing.

Changing to the wave serpent also saves you points.

Also drop vyper (it will only give them vs blood, and has like 0% damage output) to give more bodies to warp spider squads.

Thanks for the advice. I will look at some stuff on my end. Most of the decisions I make are based on fluff (I love me exarchs) and what I have painted (i.e. my other wave serpent is totally all white).

Yeah keep in mind I thought that I needed to actually glance a Monolith on a 6 with one d6 because we were playing with old living metal. So if they got rid of that rule across the board, then yeah the exarch is definitely not necessary.
