I have always coupled syvarris with Nakita Agents and Guerrellinators. The Nakita can do a good job of smokescreening him from close normal attacks while he pelts enemies with his double attack at range 9. The only drawback is a certain lack of mobility. The G-Nators bond well with Nakita and can rush incoming melee threats.

If you're working with an 800-1200 point army you should work in Raelin. An army that size can use all the protection you can give it.
Also, a nice strategy when you're rocking a character with range 9 is to get some figures to tie people down, opening them up for shots from Syvarris. The Izumi work well for this with their high defense, high move and counterstrike. But, even better, for less cost, are the robo rats (deathreavers) that can move and tie up enemies without even having turn markers on them. Plus they come four to a squad instead of three.
A final concern when you're building an army around a big time range character is to make sure you have some strong melee figures as well to back him up when the enemy gets close.
As long as your enemy doesn't have too many characters with ranged special attacks, Drake seems like a good option, because he can hunt down and take out figures that sneak close to Syvarris.
Oh, yeah, and if you have a big map with lots of elevation, Theracus is always a good idea.

It seems to me that in an 800 point army you have plenty of room for boosting units. Spend 260 points on Taelord and Raelin, then load up with Syvarris (100), some Aubriens (2@140), Deathreavers to screen (2@80) and a heavy melee hitter like Charos (210). This keeps the number of units you spend Order Markers on minimal while still utilizing the point value of a large chunk of your army each turn.

~Aldin, who has never played with more than 500 points, so caveat emptor

i highly agree with placing theracus and syvarris together. placing your man on the high ground and using theracus as a make-shift body gueard always a good idea. plus drafting your warlord means a longer move for your winged scout.
