No worries Chris,
hows the preparations going for Cally, I have about 8 games with the Seer Council now. Won a few and lost a few lol, still a steep learning curve.
Scarab Farms are a tough one, they are intimidating, they act much like the Beastpack once they are up and running which will take a turn or two... once they get to a good number, they move out and assault anything they can, with entropic strike they can wound anything in the game and this is where the beastpack similarity starts they have tons of attacks but are unlikely to do much as they have no AP and are str3.. so its a lot of dice for a handful of wounds at the end. They are hard to chew through unless you're str6+ or have a D/Stomp.
You have a couple of choices, kill the rest of the army, which will be hard, kill the Spyders to stop the farm from growing or kill the scarabs, they have to have an initial unit to spawn into. To really hurt the Scarabs its all about killing that Canoptek Spyder to stop RPs.
Wraithknights... they will be scared to charge a full Lychguard unit... AP2 still hurts even with 5+inv (if they for some reason didn't take Wraithcannons???) and FnP. Lychguard are str7? with Scythes? So hitting on 4's and wounding on 5s you're going to cause a few wounds before stomps. Stomps are all about the 6... otherwise its not THAT bad.. helps against horde units that are trying to bog them down tho. Plus you have to watch you don't get close I used a Stomp to kill a Ghostark that was close to the combat...
