For Seer Councils on foot you should really be fielding the maximum amount of Warlocks (10), since their survivability isn't a high as that of a Jetbike mounted Seer Council. More Warlocks makes up for a bit of that loss.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/904017.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/904017.page GMT Re:Seer Councils.
I find the foot council a little to slow, even with the serpent it becomes an either move or fire unit with a turn delay if I wish to charge (since a serpent is not an assault vehicle)

If a smaller game (1750 or less) I will start trimming the council size (to about 6 models) or swap the jetlocks for guardian jetbikes]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/904678.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/904678.page GMT Seer Councils. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/905901.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/905901.page GMT Seer Councils.
There are reasons not to take Wave Serpents, they block LoS. But I have not used a Seer Council in 5th Edition I have used an Avatar in all my games he is (finally) too good. And I like Farseers with Banshees anyway.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/905908.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/905908.page GMT Re:Seer Councils.

IMO. Right now, I'm liking the Farseer and 7 Warlocks on Jetbikes. I will soon add an Autarch on Jetbike to the unit to see how the additional Power Weapon attacks help. I've actually had my Jetseer unit tarpitted, then whittled down. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/906714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/906714.page GMT Seer Councils.

CC and he's more resilient when locked in with assault terminators. They do have to walk, and that's a negative, but the cost savings for the walking council is pretty nice.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/906896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/906896.page GMT Seer Councils.
Beyond foot based hth units, and jet bike based warlock units, there are also alpha strike units with destructor.

8 warlocks with 1 enhance are really good. 6 with destructor and singing spears is also an interesting throw away unit. It can tank hunt or mess up troops.

Ld tests are priceless) Finally id go with at least 3 destructors, not nessecarily 5 but theyre very good for thinning down large units of models.

You think Yriel would be a good fit for this unit? I was considering an Avatar who would stay close and get fortuned by Eldrad. The Avatar would draw incoming fire and could also go off to pick on an enemy unit that is attempting to tarpit the council. Both HQ's move up each turn towards the enemy to become a threat. I'll also include 3 Wraithlords for a big HtH kick. I'm going to write a list up and post it in the army list forum to see how it looks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/907385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/907385.page GMT Seer Councils.

I got a rough surprise in the last Ard Boyz when this unit went up against Terminators in two games. One bad round of armor saves (with Fortune) and my unit was in very bad shape. Too many points to have run off or get tarpitted. This has got me thinking the Autarch powerweapon attacks may be necessary. I'm ok if they kill something in assault and then get exposed to shooting in the following turn. Even with bad armor saves, they shouldn't run away from shooting (LD10 w/ reroll). ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/908553.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/908553.page GMT Re:Seer Councils. MC's for the anti-armor attacks and leave the council to be resilent (also allowing for smaller non-autarch councils)

Field both, the enemy has to shoot at one and the jetlocks are by far more mobile (and more of a threat to shooty armies)..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/908598.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252227/908598.page GMT Re:Seer Councils. th autarch will usually kill more of this type of model than the rest of the council put together. The down side is that the autarch is not a good buy against more ordinary opponents, so it all depends on what type of target you expect to run into.
