So, I've been toying with the idea of taking advantage of being able to take two detachments at 2000 points. The resulting list, in it's current form, is:

The plan would be to deploy in two lines. The front line would consist of the warlocks (with eldrad and the farseer) in the center and a squad of dire avengers to either side. The second would likewise see the guardians on the flanks with the wraithlords and fire dragons behind the seer council. The warwalkers would outflank.
Basically, assuming eldrad got forewarning, the two dire avengers would be given the 4+ invuln save by eldrad, and the second farseer would fortune the seer council, giving them a re-rollable 4+ invuln save.
This line of invulnerable infantry would confer cover saves to the guardians, wraithlords and fire dragons making up the second wave.
Given the fact that the heavy weapons would be in the second "wave", I think most opponents would ignore the seer council and dire avengers in turn one (assuming they went first), only to realize their mistake when I start dropping my psychic powers around.
