I do want play with the points to find tune it. Any help is appreciated.

You have so much here to mulch infantry between the Wyches, the incubi, the Hellions and the Venoms, but so very little to deal with armor to get at that delicious, pain sensing little center. This would likely do well against Tau, Nids, and foot slogging lists. Also you could use some more power weapons in the wych squads (if you could find a way to pay for them).

12 darklights is really thin. The first place I would start trimming is the Hellions to get more anti tank or power weapons in the wyches.

Yeah I was thinking that would be where points would be dropping from. So add a hekatrix w/agonizers and blast pistols to the 2 venom squads and add some haywire to them as well was my thought.

Let's see here..

Obviously your HS is optimal.
Baron is great for the +1. Drop Hellions to 10 IMO.

Drop Bloodbrides, make them Wyches. Should have 3 squads now. Also, Wyches in venoms isn't good. Generally too, outside of the Shardnet + Impaler, the special weapons don't typically earn back their points on regular Wyches.
Put the Wyches in the raiders. Run 8 strong + a Hek with Agonizer. Would include Haywire grenades on at least 1 squad.

Keep the two venoms, but put 5 Incubi in each.

Lelith is okay, but 3x Haemonculus with Liquifiers, Shattershard, and/or Crucible is better for your girls. They need FNP. The only exception here is if your local group of players does not play fully meched up armies, then I suppose Lelith is okay. The risk here being if your Wyches can't get into close combat, they NEED FNP or they'll get wiped off the board fast.

All of this should give you about 200-250 points left (guessing without running the #s here. If you don't opt for the Haemonculi, grab another troop because you'd want 5 at 2k. If you do get them, I think you'd be okay with the 4. Then, I'd look at adding either a Trueborn unit with DLs/Raider, Trueborn with Blaster or SC/Venom, or Reavers, Scourges, or (best) a Beastmaster unit with razorwings/khymerae.

Your list would probably look something like this, ideally..

Haem x3 with Liquifierss (or Shattershard/Crucible)
Baron Sathonyx
2x 5 Incubi w/ Klaivex in 2 SC Venom
3x 8 Wyches w/ Hek + Agonizer (Would give at least 1 squad Haywire Grenades as mentioned)
~10 Hellions
3x Ravager w/ DLs
(Extra: Trueborn or an FA (preferably outfitted to kill tanks))

Edit: I think this would be the best, easiest fixes while barely changing what models you'd actually use.

So been awhile since my last post, but I have made some major improvements. Let me know what you all think.

Drop the dracon with the blast pistol. For 20 points you get a gun that'll never be in range and 2 extra attacks. It's not worth it.
5 reavers total, 2x cluster caltrops? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it 3 per cluster caltrops?
Also, I've played around with the Duke a few times, and the DS isn't worth it, the combat drugs never go your way anyway, and TBH he's only about as good as an average archon, for more points.

The shardcarbine trueborn aren't needed unless you're up against hordes or MCs. You have 39 wyches, so don't get that much anti-inf elsewhere. You've got enough there to deal with a whole WAAAGH!, so drop the reavers and use the points to upgrade the other trueborn into blasterborn.
After that, you'll have a decent list
