Brief Army Overview
When making any army the first thing to think about is what is this army's core? The core of an Ulthwé army are Black Guardians and psykers. Ulthwé also characteristically has very few Aspect Warriors. So to begin, you have to start with your HQ and Troops selections. I like to keep the Seer Council fairly cheap as it is very easy for their points cost to get out of control. But I never leave home without Guide and Fortune, anything else is icing on the cake for bigger games. For the Black Guardians I like to have one each of Defenders and Storm Guardians. The Defenders with the bright lance gives me a unit who can shoot straight with a weapon that can take out enemy heavy vehicles. The Storm Guardians offer inexpensive hand to hand unit commanded by a Warlock with Enhance added to the unit giving them a mighty Weapon Skill and Initiative of 5!

To round it out, I added a unit of Vypers with scatter lasers. They are cheap, fast and have the magic weapon strength of 6. S6 is enough to take out all but the mightiest of vehicles from the side, and with their speed and range they will get side shots. For a little heavy hitting intimidation I put in a Falcon. I kept it cheap primarily so my opponents will waste firepower on it while the rest of my force does the real work. Basically it is a big, shiny decoy.
