Hey everyone,
I played this list at a local tournament and went 3-0, despite some hilariously bad luck the last game (perils on literally half of my psychic tests, failing four LD 9 tests in a row.) The tournament used VP's as a tiebreaker, so while I tabled my first two opponents, my poor luck in the last game made me lose out and get second place. Still, it was a blast and I always enjoy playing with new people. The list seems to be proven, but I was wondering if you could help me decide on any possible improvements.
Eldrad: 210
7x Fire Dragon, including Exarch with DBF and Crack Shot: 129
Wave Serpent, Spirit Stones, TL SC: 110

10x Howling Banshee, Exarch with Executioner, Acrobatic: 182

10x Dire Avenger, Exarch with Dual Catapults, Bladestorm: 152

Fire prisms sit back and blast stuff while everything else rockets forward. Turn one I might lose a serpent or two, and on turn two I pop out and destroy a huge swath of my opponent's army. The army is lots of fun to play because it's so maneuverable.
Guardians are the only thing on foot, so they're held in reserve. They come in on turn 2+, when my opponent is busy worrying about the five transports in his lines and can't really blast the guardians as well. Their job is to sit on a home objective and plink away with their scatter laser, though their catapults have been used against more aggressive horde armies before.
I think this list is actually rather fluffy, with the possible exception of Eldrad, as it's loads of aspect warriors in wave serpents. The fluff for my army is that they're corsairs, and they have Eldrad since they decided to raid his blackstone fortress. Fluff purists might hate me because my transports are color-coded and the guardians are painted in camo :)
