Can't comment on the fortifications aspect, but the list looks extremely solid otherwise!

Bush? No, Eldar Ranger

Where are your HQ's going, and how are the contributing? Because my first opinion would be dump the SpiritSeer for a Bike on your farseer, and then more bikes and have him jump in a team.

Hqs are there to let me have double force org. Farseer will prob hide out somewhere guiding and doing whatever under the protection of 12 void sheilds.

I'm not personally a fan of the Shuricannons on my Wave Serpents. If you cut them off you could take a second Farseer and have more chances for the psychic powers you want. It's a solid list otherwise, two Lynxes will tear up the board!

Why dont you like shuikecannons? 3 extra shots, 1 dead marine extra on average. It makes back its points 4X over the game.

If I'm not mistaken, those are the old point costs for the Lynxes. I could be wrong.

Because in my experience you will always be snap firing the cannon. Either you're firing the shields and the laser or you're going flat out for a better jink save.

Or you can move 6" and fire the Scatter Laser, Shield, and Shuriken Cannon. I think they are well worth 10 points, and can give you extra firepower when needed.

But the farseer would be a better use of 30 points.

I like my Serpents with Shuricans, but I have to go with Arbiter and General-Cross on this one. A Farseer is better in this case.

Ah... I was not aware of that! For some reason I always thought if you moved you could only fire 2 weapons at full BS... Might make a difference for future builds! All the same, the Farseer is probably better in this case as it's the Lynxes who are doing the heavy lifting and you really want that Fortune.

Reason I would want to keep shuiken cannons would be because the serpents are there to do the heavy lifting that the lynxs wont be doing. And by this I mean as anti air, and to strip void shields. I feel that the lynxs will be quite protected under the void shields, and that the extra anti air hit or 3 shots would be more benifitial. Do you think that the list would still be fine all around with out the shuicannons?
Also about the point costs, heres my stand on it.
Here in the pdf saying what forge world units can be taken and what books there rules can be found in ( http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/L/lordsofwar.pdf ) It says that the rules for the lynx can be found in the IA: Apoc, or IA:11. Which to me means that i can use either of these books for the rules for the lynx. I chose IA:11, which is less recent, but is still legal to be used acording to the PDF.

I would definitely ask the TO since your whole list revolves around the old rules and tbh I'm pretty sure thats not gona fly. Forgeworld surprising balances its units quiet often and to then use the old relatively broken version would probably go against what the organizer is trying to accomplish.
