Bolt pistol Careful, your Space Wolf roots are showing.

Okay, so now you're planning a Wych Cult army? I will first off note that for 5 more points you could upgrade your power weapon to an Agoniser which is superior in every way possible to the power weapon unless you attack toughness 2 models. Secondly, by not giving your Lord any other upgrades you are basically just paying out for a very expensive Wych at this point. I would say a combat drug dispenser, at the very least, is obligatory.

I consider haywire grenades inferior to the Blaster in every way imaginable and would strongly advocate dropping the haywires in favor of a second Blaster and some more free points to help you in other places. Blasters not only let you threaten vehicles but also help you punch holes in MEQ prior to assaulting them. Haywires are not too bad for hurting vehicles, but frankly by the time Wyches are assaulting vehicles the Wyches are already not being used in the best way, so why worry about helping them in this situation?

Dropping Haywires could also help you buy Blasters here.

Nightmare grenade?

Whatever upgrade that is meant to indicate, you are not reflecting it in your points. Other then that this is a good backup for a Wych army.

You have 10 Lances in the army, at 1500 this is really probably not enough. I would strongly advocate switching one or two of these Ravagers to triple lances so they can help you pop enemy vehicles. By doing so you'll drop out the embarked passengers for your Wyches to grind down and kill.

I wanted to have an agonizer but I'm not quite sure if I had the points. I was debating on the haywire grenades because I'm not sure how often I'll be charging vehicles to make use of them.

And I forgot to put the points on the warriors or maybe its a miss type but meant to be the pinning grenades but if I'm using lances I'm not sure when I'll be in 18'' range to use it. I do think that this list is better then my first lol.

Revised.

By switching the disintegrators to lances you are really reducing your anti-infantry fire power though. How many vehicles do you really see people run at 1500? If you want more lances, you might as well drop some haywire grenades in exchange for blasters. The range isn't that great, but you are running a wych army anyways, so you should be playing in your opponents face.

I've worked it so there are 2 blasters in each wych squads and bumped 4 of them to 7 instead of 5. Playing it now to see how it does

The Wyches are his anti-infantry.

Feasting on the souls of unworthy opponents

Have you given them Wych weapons?

I would second the idea of switching a ravager to triple lances.....or giving up a ravager to get another wych raider.

The theory (mine anyway) behind Haywire grenades isn't a general use item, but as a back-pocket tool if I run into Mech IG or Mech SW. With 6 Wych squads, in theory I should roll one 12" assault power, giving me a squad of wyches that can get into assault with some vehicles on turn1 and shake/stun/kill them so that they can't hurt my raiders.

I fondly recollect a game against a mech IG player who had two squadrons of leman russ executioners or some variant; I got a turn1 assault on both of them, killed one from each and shook the other, and the following turn killed the other two. That was 4 leman russes not firing at me.
