I just bought the stuff to make the 500 point army below. I'm working on upgrading it to a 1000 point list and seeing what else I would need to buy. I'm gonna go ahead and post the 500 point army so you guys can give me a little bit of feedback on it.

-----------------------------------------------
500 points

HQ 85
succubus w/ agoniser 85

TROOPS 295

venom w/ extra sc 65
125

7xwyches w/ agon hek 100
raider w/ ff 70
170

HEAVY 115
ravager w/ ff 115

495 points
-----------------------------------------------

that has 5 lances, 1 beast cc unit, and one kite and shoot unit. plenty of dakka and will likely rape in cc.

the idea being to play peek-a-boo with the jetbikes (until they make their points back, then I can get dangerous with them)
I put the haemy with one squad of wyches and the succubus with the other. the haemy raider stays in front since they have FnP.
between the incubi, ravagers, and doubled up raiders, I think that the opponent might have a hard time choosing what to shoot.

this list comes stick with 9 lances and tons of cc killy.

the variation on the list (which I won't need to buy extra for) drops the incubi in favor of a trueborn squad with blasters
that adds 4 lances but removes a very effective cc squad. so it really depends on whether I need the extra anti-tank(or termie ) or not.

so I'm looking to buy the second set of wyches, raider, and some jetbikes (actually just picking up a battleforce), along with the group of incubi

what do you guys think? am I taking this in a bad direction? I really like the succubus but do you think she is still viable in 1000 points? I can switch to an archon if it's needed, but she is definitely a monster for very cheap.

The Succubus is cool, but you've probably heard before that the Archon is better at close combat. Of course her stats are better, but she can't take a Clone Field or Huskblade(aka double-shenanigans). Although if you simply like the Succubus better, go ahead and use her. I'd use a Blaster rather than a Heat Lance on the Reavers, although I don't know how Heat Lances are in practice. They just seem kind of strange to me. Are the Trueborn in the Venom going to have any special weapons? That's where their real potential is- all the cool guns you can give them. If they aren't going to have any, you may want to swap them for something else.

woops, yes, they have 4 blasters.

the archon is more expensive though, which is why I like the succubus. I should try making room for him

In the first list, I'd out the Suc for a haem. Wyches with FNP starting ensures survival from a down skimmer and then rapid fired to death.

List two, I'd give the girls Haywires. A Dreadnaught could ruin their day.

Otherwise, both are reasonably good.
