DE appears to have tools to shut down hoard/elite/deathstar armies just fine, but the standard IG parking lot seems to be a problem since speed doesn't help against 48" shooting pillboxes of doom. Now one could counter by vect/baron alpha lists, but one roll for the win is kinda annoying. Here I try a all reserve list that will try get flank shots everywhere it get in. If one could comfortably play IG, then stuff can be dropped to counter other lists.

FNP Wych grenading your stuff

Plan: if start 2nd, reserve everything, come in everywhere for flank shots if against castles, or dominate a flank if the opponent spreads out, shoot everything enough to stop it from shooting and move on. Get FNP wychs to force opponent vehicles to move (and lose shots), while multicharging vehicles while still get locked in combat if possible.

This does look like the old lance spam lists...but really, there is no better anti-tank than more dark matter unless you go heat lance everywhere, and grenades are the only other option which this list does take.

I would personally rather have bigger squads, but 6 Raiders and 3 Ravengers can put out a bit of fire power, and it could work well....

Are the Haemonculus really adding anything here? FNP wyches aren't that scary are they?
