Seer Council:

The Path of the Seer is especially strong on the Craftworld of Ulthwé, with both benefits and drawbacks for the armies of the Craftworld. Ulthwé produces the most potent and insightful seers of any of the Eldar. But as the Path of the Seer is long and arduous to master, the numbers of Aspect Warriors are quite few in comparison to other Craftworlds. To compensate, Ulthwé maintains large standing armies of Guardians, including the elite Black Guardians.

Special Ability: Enhanced Psyker

Units with the Enhanced Psyker special ability are rare -  this effect can only be achieved by several psykers working in unison

• A unit with the Enhanced Psyker special ability counts as two psykers in assaults and firefights.
• Any Psychic Blast Fate Card played by a unit with the Enhanced Psyker ability counts as being one level higher than the value printed on the Fate Card, up to a maximum of 3. So, a Level 1 Psychic Blast Fate Card played by an Enhanced Psyker would count as a Level 2 Psychic Blast for purposes of nullification.

Design notes:

• The Seer Council is designed to reflect the power and authority of the Seers of Ulthwé. They are the most potent psykers of a psychically gifted species, and as such lend valuable support to their forces on the battlefield.
• I wanted the Seer Council to add a bit more than a normal Farseer. It made sense that if a group of Farseers and Warlocks were using their powers in concert with each other, they might have more of an effect in an assault or firefight - hence counting as two psykers when working out the results of close combats and firefights.
• In addition, bumping up the level of any Psychic Blast Fate Card played using a Seer Council unit seemed a nice way to increase their potency on the battlefield, since any Psychic Blast they cast will be very difficult to nullify.
• Because of their extreme age and the fact that there are more than one Farseer in a Seer Council, I didn¹t allow a Seer Council to be mounted on a Vyper.
• It seems quite reasonable to replace the Farseer in an Ulthwé Supreme Commander detachment with the Seer Council as well, using the points cost in this list.

Modeling tips:

Making a Seer Council unit is quite easy. Simply mix several Warlock and Farseer models together on one base, easily distinguishable from a Warlock included in a Guardian unit.
