I'm playing in a 3 round tournament next weekend and wanted some critique on this list. Playing with Farsight allies so that crisis can be troops and Riptide can have earth caste pilot array. Let me know what you think.

The plan is to deepstrike the Crisis team w/commander and Warp spiders where they are needed. Wave Serpent rushes into position to deliver its troops. Jetbikes stay on the move, there role will depend on what powers the warlocks get. The Farseer goes solo avoiding cover ignoring weaponry and laughing off everything else, he will guide/presience/fortune/doom/psykic shriek where it would be useful. The Dire Avengers I can't decide if I want them or if I should switch for a 6-8 man naked Firedragon Team. More Warp Spiders would also be nice.

Any ideas would be helpful, I have access to most of the eldar and Tau model range.

You can only have 10 avengers total, saving you some points for some upgrades.

What guns on the commander? Meshing with the squad would be your best bet. Since you have the support slots open, grab vector retro thrusters with spare points.

The Earth caste pilot array works better on the HBC, if your going for that.

I am not sold on the use of pathfinders in an ally list, as they can't boost all that much of your army. Points better spent boosting your raw killing power like more/better crisis, a serpent, bikes etc. YMMV

Farseer probably wants a singing spear. You want to take a scatter laser on your serpent as well
