One thing that you'll learn from Dark Eldar is that we have enough a very hard time keeping expensive units alive. We are the definition of Glass cannon (Sans the "cannon").

My recommendation are:
Drop the Agonizer on the Haemonculus and take Scissor Hands or the Flesh Gauntlet. AP 3 is nice, but you're spending way too many points for it. Also, the Grotesques generate enough attacks to force failed saves without having an AP weapon.

The goal of the Grotesques Raiders is to get them to combat as soon as possible; you will not use those Dark Lances. Chances are, you'll lose the Raiders before it can even shoot. My recommendation is to take Aether Sails on both to get an extra couple of inches on turbo boost.

In all, Nightshields are a crutch. It costs a lot for minimal benefit and it forces you to Jink to really benefit. The only unit that should take it are the Grotesque Raiders since they will want to Jink and it's imperative that they do this.

Lastly, take Shadowfield on the Archon and put him in the other unit of Grotesques. They are super vulnerable to leadership checks on the first turn without it.

I would remove the heavy support you have, I doubt you will get your poinbts worth out of them.

the Ravagers are way more expensive then they were on last codex and not any better.

the Talos, altough quite fluffy in this list will be too slow to follow your army,

I would replace these with more grotesques, maybe exchange the haemonculy with Urien rakath (he give your grotesques fearless on first turn ifhes within 12") give the Archon the shadow field and maybe a webway portal with some slyths as bodyguards, leftover points could possibly be another unit of warrionr with blaster in venom.
