Yes...and no. I can see it being nasty, but I can also see it getting torn to shreds if those fire dragons come up against something which can take a bit of pain.

Why no spirit stones on your farseer? I think having both powers on the turn they jump out would be exceptionally useful.

And no escalation in this tournament?

The biggest problem that I see with this list is the lack of close combat. Even if this list is fast and mobile, you are going to have to deal with things in combat. I can see an Imperial Guard with 3 battle tanks having fun against you. They will be able to take down your fire dragons before you can use them.

As much as I love warp spiders, and after using them in DoW I definetley do, taking so many is most likely not worth it. I'd suggest max 2 units of 8 or so and adding a few an exarch with firepike to those FD units (but keep the size to 6 for transport, of course). I'd also advise not spending an absolute ton of points on your grav-tanks (read as: no holo-fields, probably don't need stones either). I'd spend all those points on howling banshees or scorpions so you had at least some combat power; it may even be worth giving them that serpent instead, or getting a second serpent.
