In an effort to mix things up I've been trying to use Phoenix Lords more often (i'm a little tired of the Eldrad/Yriel Seer Council set up). I like Karandras the best of the PLs, but Jain Zar is cheaper, and I play mostly marine armies so she is more effective as are her disciples. I find that using her instead of Karandras frees up some points useful for bright lances since at this level my opponents will surely use a land raider, along with 10 terminators (they are that predictable, i assure you). here is the list:
HQ
Jain Zar
Farseer with spirit stones, runes of warding, Doom and Fortune
Elites
8 Banshees including Exarch with Executioner
Wave Serpent with Spirit Stones and EML
Troops
10 Guardians with Scatter Laser and Spiritseer Warlock with Embolden (x2)
10 Dire Avengers including Exarch with Shimmer Shield, Distract, Bladestorm
Wave Serpent with Spirit Stones and EML
Heavy Support
Wraithlord with 2 flamers, EML and Bright Lance (x2)
In terms of tactics, I would create a fire base with the guardians and wraithlords protecting any objectives in my deployment zone while the Seer, Jain Zar and her banshees wait for the right time to strike. The Dire Avengers mostly wait in their transport clsoe to the banshees and make late runs on any objective to capture it or contest ir. If needed, they can shoot bladestorm the amphetamine parrot out of any enemy units nearby and then pin themdown in combat (make use of that shimmershield and distract).
Now, I'm also inclined to use 3 war walkers with 2 scatter lasers each instead of one of teh wraithlords (i'd free up the extra points by downgrading the EMLs in the serpents to shuricans). War walkers are great at popping light vehicles and forcing insane amounts of armour rolls on any one unit for my opponent (i love to watch those termies roll 1s!), but again, it would leave me short on the land raider-busting weapons. 5 dragons in a serpent are also a possibility here, although the hand to hand combat protection the wraithlords offer my guardians cant be matched by them or the walkers.
thanks in advance for the suggestions!
