What do You think about it?

My two cents:

Reduce the 10 man squad to 5 and give it a wave serpent, too.

Remove mind war and fortune, and put the farseer on a falcon and give him guide instead.

Remove the scatter laser and put in a starcannon.

Give the warlocks either conceal or enhance, depending on how you want to use them. (I personally prefer enhance). I'd also give the warlocks witchblades instead of singing spears...but singing spears are ok, too...if there are enough points.

Oh...and I'm not counting the points...so you do the numbers...but with the 45 <?> or so points saved from removing fortune, mind war and spirit stones from the farseer, the suggested amendments should fit right in.
Maybe you can even give the 1st falcon a shuriken cannon, too.
Oh...and if you do put the farseer on a falcon, you could opt to remove the singing spear and just give him a close combat weapon and shuriken pistol (up to you...it just saves you some more points if you need it, IMHO). A vyper or two w/ starcannons would be nice if you can squeeze it in.

Otherwise...its kinda ok as it is...the above are just recommendations.

Ciao for now,

This is mechanized approach to the army. I really like 10 concealed wraithguard. They don't kill much, but they almost always finish the game unscathed claiming objectives. Mechanized Iyanden is more fragile and requires eaven more finesse in use, but when I buy another serpent I will definitely try this.
As for warlock's powers. Concealment is great for footsloggin wraithguard unit and when combined with fortune and toughness 5 and 3+ armour save this squad is very tough to kill. Enhance I rarely use. Destructor is the way to for a serpent squad. It decimates everything with save 4+ and worse.

Looks ok to me, can i also just take a moment to commend you for collecting iyanden, wriathguard arn't too great, but as you say, they can take alot of flack with conceal and fortune, and... they look great
