Hey just wondering if this will be a viable army against CSM at this points level. Let me know what you think.

HQ:

Succubus w/Agoniser 85

Haemonculus w/Liquifier Gun and Venom Blade 65

Troops:

Wyches x8, Hekatrix w/Agoniser, in Raider w/FF and DL 180

Wyches x9, Hekatrix w/Agoniser, in Raider w/FF and DL 190

Warriors x5 w/Blaster in Venom 2SC 125

Warriors x5 w/Blaster in Venom 2SC 125

Heavy:

Ravager w/FF 3DL 115

Ravager w/FF 3DL 115

1000 points

Plan on putting both Haemy and Succy in with the 8 man wyches and moving them up in the front with the other wyches following. Warriors in venoms should be able to give fire support until they need to go claim obj. Last game I played against CSM I didn't get my wyches up the field quick enough and did not have enough AT in my list, though we ended up tying.

Thanks for viewing, Cheers.

I'm neutral about you making one of your assault boats an infinitely better target to shoot than the other one.

2x Haemonculus would probably serve you better than the 1x Succubus and 1x Haemy - also frees up 20 points.

Frankly, I probably would drop the Venom Blades too. Lacking fleet, the Haemys are usually best left behind in the boats - their big contribution is in giving away Paint Tokens.

That frees up 30 points all told.
Those points could be put to good use in making that one squad 9 Wyches, not 8 and in getting the Wyches Haywire grenades.

Personally, at 1000 points I'd run smaller squads of Wyches and maybe only one Haemon and use the extra points to squeeze in an additional Ravager or Warrior squad. But at 1000 points I personally believe the DE can win the game as a shooting force and just use assault to tie things up or mulch units weakened by shooting first. This is especially true versus CSM and SM as they will be struggling to field half as many units as you can, which should let you steamroll them off the table through weight of fire and target saturation.

Hope that helps.
