    Wow, where to start. The farseer is overloaded, pick a power you like and drop the others. For the same points you can simply add a second farseer with the power you want to use. The rangers unit is too small to have a realistic chance of pinning anything. A dark reaper exarch is only useful when taking crack shot to ignore cover, or an EML and fast shot to have some backup (but expensive) anti-tank. You need a farseer guiding those warwalkers, so put a cheap farseer with just guide and nothing else by them. Falcons should never take brightlances because they cannot fire both the lance and pulse laser unless it sits still, which is a terrible idea. As for equipment on it, take either CTM and keep it out of harms way OR holofield and spirit stones to make it ignore damage. Having overlap is wasteful. A shuriken cannon on a fireprism will never get to fire because of the range difference, so dont bother. You could easily trim 500 points of fat from this list and play at 2000 much more competitively.

    All that being said, if you dont want your list to be fine-tuned and just play for fluff than do whatever makes you happy. =)
