Any tips or suggestions to fill in for the obvious weaknesses in this list? I am not all about the cheese in this hobby. I mainly enjoy the collecting, but having an army for the occasional game is nice, and with that, some potential for winning is also nice. Any suggestions would appreciated.

A main point however is I would like to try and keep the Hawks and Baharroth, as they are the theme for my fluff.

It's a fun fluffy list, with Baharroth being surprisingly one of the best P.Lords for normal play due to his herald of victory special rule. The things i would suggest is to switch Trolarch to Mantleseer simply for the re-rolls granted by prescience and guide. A shooty Autarch is never worth the points and a Close Combat Autarch is only effective against a small margin of units e.g Devestators Fire Warriors while you can never go wrong with a Mantleseer as he will ALWAYS have 2 re-roll powers and psy-shriek at worst, all of which are useful powers. Other then that i would swap the Hawks Talon to the Sun rifle, blind is simply worth it's weight in gold, the extra AP is just dandy. A prescience'd unit of Baharroths Hawks make a credible threat to many units in shooting if followed by an assault.

Huh cunningly enough that works out exactly right in terms of points. A mantleseer on Jetbike being 155 and the extra points for the sunrifle being 5. I presume you, being a genius of course, knew this immediately. Only issue I have is being able to convert a Farseer to be riding a jetbike.

Alex could not have said it better. Only thing I would add is consider dropping the suncannon/scatter for dual d cannons, and drop one spear from a warlock to your farseer. Being on a Bike, having the mantle, multiple wounds and BS5 your farseer needs it more. The warlocks are really optional if you want to take even more hawks...which would be pretty cool.

I found the mantleseer highly useful. Didn't want to bother with a fancy conversion and did this instead:

Aha, well that seems to work well How has the list worked out for you?

At the moment, this list is completely untested, as I am still building up my collection. I have theory crafted a bit, and run some test dice rolls on various things ( efficiency versus MEQ - GEQ -TEQ among other things) and it seems to perform rather well. My only issue is that, at 2000 points, another army is gonna get far more bang for their buck.
