this is the army im planning to build.
any improvement ideas? please let me know!

Your list lacks focus. Here are my suggestions:

1) Get the Haemonculus some Wargear.
2) Lose the Succubus.
3) Drop the Bloodbrides in favor of some Trueborn with Blasters.
4) It looks like you have 8 troops. I run 3 10-man Wych squads (with Haywire Grenades) and 3 5-man Warrior squads in Venoms. Don't forget special weapons.
5) Lose the champions on the Warriors and Reavers
6) I don't like Hellions. I'd use those points elsewhere.
7) Don't forget Flickerfields on your Raiders / Ravagers!

Here is my list if you're curious.

okay thanks....i'll soon will have all the weapon options.

I have a friend that swears by 10-man Warrior squads in Raiders with Lances / Blasters. You just have to figure out what you're comfortable using. I like the added anti-infantry punch of Venoms, but his list certainly shines against Mech.

Hellions are just too easily shot down and generally outclassed by Wyches in my opinion.

I will say that if you do use the Succubus, get her an Agoniser. I use one fairly often and she's amazing for the points.

again: thanks. so: i wont be adding hellions....even though i already have 5.....
i was planning a succubus with agoniser anyway, but still, thanks.

Looks like you have eyed the boxes/models but have no codex and are fishing for points values.

If you lurk the other DE threads, they ought to be enough to get you in the ball-park without us giving away GW's Intellectual Property.

Unless you *have* the book and care to repost a list with unit totals (not individual costs, or course! ).

If you're going with Succubus and HBB's, bang 'em all in a Raider together (losing one bloodbride). Kit them all out with 'flails for those re-rolls.

Get your haemy with 4 wracks in a venom, speed them right across the map and drop a portal in your victims face. On come those expensive HBB's and succubus, armed to the teeth with, what, about 40 attacks on the charge, with re-rolls? With them being expensive units you dont want them getting chewed up inturn 1 should you not make the first move. Also try to keep your haemy-venom out of your opponents heavy weapon LOS, just in case, otherwise everything goes knacker up.

I feel your pain on the hellions, I got a squad, and was advised to leave them out of my list. I think their biggest use is getting a tough IC out of special rule giving range to allow your other units chew through whatever they were near by. That and dropping them infront of your geared up, huskblade totting Archon with soul trap.

One last thing to bear in mind is that's gonna be points heavy - figure out what the average points value of games played in your area is and build an army geared to that, otherwise you waste cash on miniatures that could be so points heavy that you have to leave them out of the games you'll be playing.

i have the book......recently i tried to post the new list, but the computer crashed....damn this thing....
