Okay, so I've been challenged to being a 2000pt drukhari list to a fun tournament, as I have never played with/against I am trying to keep things cheap, I know farseer/warlocks aren't dark eldar but they fit the theme I'm going for.

The warlocks' powers like conceal or enhance aren't going to work on the drukhari because the powers only work on asuryani infantry & bikers. I would drop all of the warlocks and add some warriors to provide a screen for your list to protect from alpha strike.

I assume he will be using horrify and drain on the warlocks. Especially horrify to combo with the phantasm launchers.
But yeah, I think there are better things to spend points on then the warlocks.

I'll be honest the warlocks were there for the horrify/grenade launcher, I could drop the other two but that leaves me minus two HQ units I need to be able to spam this many units, any ideas or do I take the hit and just go do less CP?

Of the Farseer powers, the only one that works with Drukhari is Doom (and I suppose Smite). For Warlocks, only the offensive powers will help your fast attack units, as other posters have noted.

Even if you want HQs to get CPs, given the high cost of Warlock Skyrunners, you might almost be better off just taking something less mobile with an escort of wyches or something and putting it in a transport. For example, instead of 3 Warlocks Jetbikes you could get a Raider, a Succubus, and Wyches or something. I have no idea if that would be effective, but it feels like it might be more effective than 3 Warlocks, who tie up over 10% of your points in return for a couple CP and not a lot of effectiveness.
