Also Ive been toying with a guardian heavy list. 10 models with a BL platform costs only 110 points. I can field 3 of them and take out either the firedragons or one DA squad. Only problem is that i have no way to protect them, they will just get slaughtered in cc. But i guess thats ok, since they are cheap and expendable. On the other hand, 110 points for what will essentially be a single BL is kinda silly.

One more thing, for the 1750 list, i was thinking about adding 3x war walkers all with scatter lasers and adding another farseer with fortune to follow them around. What do you think about the list and its ability to deal with armored armies?

War walkers don't make saves, so they won't benefit from fortune.

if I play terminator heavy army or one with lots of 2+ armor save Nids... what does your army do? What does your army do against a landraider, assume I down your wave serpent. Just some basic questions is all. I think you'll toast a horde list though.

hmmm any suggestions? i thought about arming the Wave serpants with star cannon and shuriken cannons. This cuts the fire rate by only one shot, but gives me an option to deal with heavy armor termies/nids. However this would add 25 points to each WS and add 75 points to the army. Also i was thinking about making one Viper Squad into Bls and have them hunt tanks. 2x BLs at bs 3 will ensure one hit at least per turn.

I presume your farseer is supposed to get in the serpent with the banshees? Problem is, he can only use his power at the beginning of the turn, which he has to be out of his transport to do. In other words, you'll end up never really using it.
