I am trying to make a bieltan themed army using grav tanks and aspect warriors mostly.

Hq
Asurmen

Elite
Fire dragons-5
Scorpions-10 exarch, crushing claw, Crushing blow, stalker
Wave serpent- Scatter laser, Holofields, Cannon

Troops
Dire avenger-6
Wave serpent
Dire avenger-5
Wave serpent
Wind riders-3- Cannon
Rangers-5

Fast attack
Night wing
Night wing

Heavy support
Fire prism- Holo, ghost walk
Fire prism- Holo, ghost walk
Falcon- Bright lance, Holo

Asurmen goes with scorpions, they outflank into rear, cause uproar.
Fire dragons move up to be in front and blow up any tank. Night wings fight planes, and run off field doing hit and run tactics

I'm not sure if i got enough troops or this list is even semi competitive so any help would be appreciated.
I would like to keep asurmen because he is a beast and my other warlords always get killed.
I am not sure 10 scorp is too much or if they will even survive but i am sure they will cause a panic.

Should i use storm guardians with a warlock instead of Scorpions?

Like I have said before, i am a firm believe in wave serpents over falcons. There have better fire power, better transport capacity, better survivability, and are cheaper. Other wise it looks great!

So i played a few games and these are the changes i would make

Hq
Asurmen
Farseer

Elite
Fire dragons-5
Wave serpent- Scatter laser, Holofields, Cannon

Troops
Dire avenger-10 SS/pw
Wave serpent - Scatter laser, Holofields, Cannon
Dire avenger-5
Wave serpent - Scatter laser, Holofields, Cannon
Dire avenger-5
Wave serpent - Scatter laser, Holofields, Cannon
Wind riders-3

Asurmen Farseer, and Fire dragons move up to be in front and blow up any tank. Night wings fight planes, and run off field doing hit and run tactics
I found this combo funny in the re-roll to hits, the power it can take to destroy, and the oh gak, shoot it, but don't assault it. The Da, move up with the Fire dragons, take out the inner of the vehicle, and help asurman in the assault.

So this is what i have so far; Any hints, tactics, personal recommendations.

Looking good

Nice looking list! As you know Phoenix lords are not the most competitive units out there but they are fun, and some can even win combats. Only other opinion is I think crimson hunters are better then night wings

I like the nightwing because it is 20 cheaper, and has a 2+ jink save, or 4+ save in the open.

Okay, the pheonix lord, i want a cc champ with an invulnerable save, Ap 2 weapons that can kill and survive, and that will go either with my Fire dragons or my 10 Da group. It can be psyker, or a Autarch, but has to be survivable. The pheonix lord is the only thing i can think of. Also what would i use the extra points on?



So i gave
Farseer-Laugh, Jb

Autarch Shiver,fusion,banshe,scorp. (goes with Fire dragons and spilts off so their are two targets.
Added 1 to Fd numbers.
Added 1 ranger Added cannon to wind rider, gave both fp ghost walk matrix. BUt i don't feel that the autarch is survivable.

I like the list so far, tried a game, Csm-2 drakes, plague list- got killed by typhus after doing 2 wounds. Insta
