What do you guys think? I had 12 points spare so got the extra Wrack for my HQ unit. I think I have all the bases covered. AA (VR), AT (15 lance weapons), AI (VR/NS/Reavers/SCs) and lastly, psychic defence from the Farseer.

Swap out guide for prescience on the divination table, does the same as guide but has a longer range and can be cast on DE units

Yes this is what I intend to do. Very good advice. I forgot to put that in the initial ramble and picked guide as it was the first 20 point psychic power that came to mind lol.

Is FW stuff okay with the Tournament rules? I don't know the rules for the Night Spinner so I assume it's FW. Did I miss some codex update or something? If so, where do I get the rules?

Other than that I think the list looks solid, but depending on your meta you have few lances for first turn anti tank.

Reavers, Voidraven and Blasters won't be in range turn 1 so it's only 6 lances. If your meta is like mine very infantry heavy, you're fine though as the delayed AT will most likely do the trick.

Yea I thought it was FW for ages until Mushkilla pointed it out the other day. There was a rules update about the NS and you can view all its stats from GW site. The Fire Prism box comes with the parts to make a NS instead and they seem just...better.

That's my only concern really, but wanting to take some sort of AA has forced me to sacrifice one of my HS options. I can't wait till theres a viable AA option from the new Eldar Codex and I can take that and stick with 3 Ravagers as I love having them.

My meta is not very tank heavy but there are a couple of IG players who run a mechanised list so I may struggle against them with this list.

Wow, I definitely need to visit the GW page every now and then, thanks for the heads up.

Before changing your list, try it against the IG first. If you can handle that, you're fine. If you struggle, try some different tactics and maybe change a thing to deal with the problem. However don't overdo it, as I personally think the concept of the list is good, and if your meta is infantry heavy anyway you might be good to go - don't always play IG after all, do you?!

As far as the shatterfield missiles go, you planning on using them as an alpha strike, firing them at the first mech you target, and hoping they scatter onto infantry or what?

Personally, I'd swap the shatterfield missiles out for night shields on my ravagers. Since the voidraven excels at killing mech, and shatterfields don't effect mech, I think that puts you into the position of relying on luck for scatter, or targetting something non-optimal with your voidraven to get the missile effect. Of those choices, I'd prefer to keep my ravagers alive longer.

EDIT: Oh, I guess they CAN effect mech. They're just not very good at it with S7 and AP -. The rerolls don't help VS vehicles since vehicles don't have wounds.

The SF are there so it can mum to task. If it flies onto a board with no armour to shoot it can target an infantry unit. The VR load-out (and the fact it's there) is the thing I'm most uncertain about.
