Just to add my two pence worth here.

If you are taking a Warlock in a 3k army you are prevented from taking any further titans/aircraft by the 1/3 rule. So if you are facing Deathstrikes/Vultures/Shadowswords you are in a lot of trouble. I would follow Steve's advice and keep the Warlock hidden as much as possible for the first turn. You have the problem of the Deathstrikes, but you can either try and reach them with a Scorpion first off or trust in your Holofields. With the combination of the Vultures, just waiting for you to activate I'd be more than inclined to sit the Warlock in cover and trust my Holofield rolls more than anything else whilst deploying the rest of the army.

If the Warlock survives the initial strike then move him up so that he can be used at the start of the second turn before the IG get to activate and then you might be able to hide him again before being shot at.

If the Minervin are you regular opponents I'd be tempted to go aircraft heavy for a few games to throw your opponent off. Nightwings don't have to jink as it doesn't improve their save.

Thanks guys, thesewee the toughts, that i needed so much! Some Inspiration, something like a brainstorm I never played with a Warlock, and I want to try it -and surprise my opponents

I will participate in a contest -2750p, 3 games. The participants will be: 4 SM, 2 Orks, 2 IG SL, AMTL, Tyranids. So I'm thinking of a fully mechanized Ulthwé list, to support the Warlock. My main problem is the few activations (at 2750p it's only 7activations..)

2750 points
Ulthwé Craftworld (NetEA Army Compendium v20120208)
==================================================

AVATAR [25]
Spear of Khaine

GUARDIAN WARHOST (MOUNTED) [350]
4 Wave Serpents, 7 Guardians, Farseer

WARLOCK TITAN [850]

GUARDIAN WARHOST (MOUNTED) [450]
4 Wave Serpents, 7 Guardians, Seer Council

BLACK GUARDIAN WARHOST (MOUNTED) [400]
4 Wave Serpents, 6 Guardians, 2 Farseer

SWORDS OF VAUL TROUPE [250]
4 Falcon, Fire Storm

SWORDS OF VAUL TROUPE [250]
4 Falcon, Fire Storm

NIGHT SPINNER TROUPE [175]
3 Night Spinners

The guardians in Wave Serpents may survive long enough, because the Warlock is a true fire-magnet, or it will be free to move, because the opponents will be busy with the fast assault formations. My problem is the lack of flexibility -I like Ulthwé's popcorn units (4 Swooping Hawks, for 175p an easy artillery killer unit), the lack of my favorite eldar stuff ,the Webway, the lack of Vypers.. Even the Fireprism's are missing -because of the stupid +15p STILL in the 2014 Compedium -which is the only allowed army list in the tournament! So just pure force, not much of thiking, which is not really Eldar like -and crazy low activation number!

I'm not sure, it will work, just need some playtests..

Yes, then don't ... spend the points on Aircraft(as noted already) and more FA ...
