I feel weak on Anti Tank weapons, the only things I have are the Dark Lances on the Raiders, and the Haywire Grenades.

Do you think this would do decent? Or is there a Wych equivalent that packs a good Anti Tank punch?

Phantasm Launchers are a waste of points, you already have the pasma grenade and you'll never get any use from the defensive ones (nobody in their right mind would rather assault them than shoot through their 6+ armour). you might consider swapping 1 or 2 Razorflails for Shardnet/Impalers

I'd suggest enhanced Aethersails on your raiders yo get you forward even quicker. Then use the remaining points to gey your Succubus some more toys or Drop the Hellions for a Ravager or two

Edit: to add another suggestion

Thanks for the reply Gorechild, I forgot about Plasma Grenades!

That should save me a lot of points.

Is there any Wych equivalent item that has good Anti Tank power? I really love the Hellions.

You can give the Hek's a blast pistol, but it's quite a gamble if you're just relying on that 1 pistol and the raider to pop all the enemys AV

Haywires are great for when you get tarpitted by dreads ect, but you're much better off being able to crack transports from range so you can assault the squishy unit inside.

Thought so :/ So Ravagers are pretty much the only efficient way? Also, they dont come with wych pilots by any chance right?

You could maybe use reavers with heatlances? They are more wych-y I guess. you can get 6 with 2 heatlances and 2 cluster caltrophs for just under 200 points I believe. Or you could just have 3 with the lances as a suicide unit? Its not as reliable as a Ravager, but it would fit your theme.

The Ravager only comes with Warriror crew, but you could kit bash some heads and torso's with wych spares easily enough I'd imagine.

it would be a super easy mod nowadays with the plastics.

I will point out that in the old dex Ravagers were still usable in the heavy slot as part of an official Wych Cult army - so they work fluffwise and, honestly, are currently probably more fluffy than Hellions (who are now not Wyches but are gangbangers).

its good but its not a wych cult untill you have lilly

I would take hydra gauntlets rather than RFs as if you roll the reroll wounds on the drug table then its a waste of 20 points

No special characters in this tourny, I will be later on.

I was thinking of Hydra Gauntlets, Giving D6 + 1 Attacks would be nice, maybe put that in the squad with the succubus?

I'm thinking of switching the Raiders to Night Shield, it gives only 6" rapid fire, melta, etc...

Thoughts?

dont bother. FFs are much better IMO

Oh, no I'm still keeping FF, I mean giving them all night shield.

Then taking night shield from the ravagers since most guns shooting them will be in range regardless, with the Night shield on Raiders, it makes Meltas and Rapid fires 6" which really would help IMO.

Sorry for the bump, but I was wondering, are Shardnets worthwhile?

Placing the Shardnet next to a PF guy or an equivilent seems good, but a tought tactic to do.

My list would look like this:

TROOPS:
Wych Squad x9 (130) w/ Hydra Gauntlet, Hekatrix, Agonizer
Raider (85) w/ Flickerfield, Enhanced Aethersails, Night Shield

I prefer the shardnets. You can do a number on assault terminators with those. List looks good overall to me. Too bashful don't have enough points to give the squad leaders blast pistols. I think that would definitely help a lot.

They look great, but I don't know if I want to sacrifice the ability to wipe out the enemy in one turn of assault for -1 attack.

Is one Hydra Gauntlet and one Shardnet ok? Or should I just stick with one.
