I submitted my list at the beginning of last week. No changes apart from the extra warrior as I'm happy with how the list plays. Just need to practice and try out some tricks. Such as seeing if reserving the tyrant is a good idea against drop pods and how many stealers to outflank instead of infiltrate. Just need to finish painting the last few models and get the bases done on everything :/

Seer council weaknesses.. well it relies on powers, so if I don't roll Invis.. (I have 13 shots at it and re-rolling duplicates) the worst its been so far is the second Farseer before getting it, Eldrad has a 88% IIRC, with 4 rolls. Thats the first hurdle.
Lack of anti-tank, I can roll Vortex, Cleansing Flame and Eldrich Storm, but 3 Spears and a Haywire grenade are a bit light.. the rest of my army also has little in the way of anti-tank. I should have dropped a few Scatter Lasers for more Spears.
Go for the rest of the army, the Seer Council once buffed is hard to kill... you need a lot of AP2 attacks in combat/shooting to kill the Council and twin linked.. so you can actually get through Invis. The rest of the army is a bit squishy.. but super fast.
Play the mission... I'm going to be rolling on the Maelstrom table, as this army sucks sooo bad at it, the Seer Council needs to get close to do damage so it can be hard to stay on objectives and the rest of the army wants to be hiding/staying out of range.
Thats about it..

As for beating the other armies..
Seer Councils are tough, but Scatter Bike armies will be most popular I suspect, Scatter Bikes lists are actually quite flimsy once you get into range of them and if you can make them jink/force LD check I would move to the next unit.
Podding Marines are going to be hard to shift for anyone not Obsec.. Demi Companies give them all obsec IIRC and with free Pods/Razorbacks/Rhinos as well.. these are going to rule the missions.. but I don't think the damage output will be that bad and they are only Marines at the end of the day.. Like Nick said, well all know what Marines can do.
