This is my first attempt at making a DE list, and I tried to make it sort of a "greatest hits" of their codex. Some Venoms for anti-infantry, some Raiders for AV, 3 obligatory ravagers, and a few regular DE tricks. I haven't seen these two HQs mixed before, but they look like they have great synergy to me. Obviously Sliscus joins the 9-man warrior squad for a massive amount of twin-linked 3+ splinter fire, and Sathonyx joins the hellions.

This may be an rules argument, so I apologize, but if I send a Raider 24" downfield and ram a vehicle with the shock prow, and it kills itself in the attempt, can the wyches inside still disembark and fleet into an assault?

I've seen them used together before, though it hasnt been since the week following the new codexs release...

I see basically no point in having the grisly trophies on the raider, also I'd personally drop the x9 with raider in favour of a x20 w/ 2 cannons as a 'snipey' squad that''ll just sit there and fling poison at everything, it'll be better than the 9 men on a raider, specially as only Splinter Rifles get the re-rolls ( 18x Splinter Rifle Shots + 12 Splinter Cannon shots > 8x Splinter Rifle shots w/ re-rolls + 4 splinter cannon shots ) and by dropping the grisly trophies + some other 5 point thing (one of the shock prows?) you get the extra 10 points to switch it to a 20 man w/ 2 cannons squad.

Also I believe if the raider goes down at that speed, everything in it will die, you'd be better off dropping them then ramming.

Go down to 4 instead of 5 in the Trueborn and take off their splinter cannon. The Venom already has 2 that can always shoot 6 shots each.
The Raiders don't make that great of a use of Shock Prows. You already kind of have a Dark Lance, and stuff...
The trophies are pointless as well.
I think your Beastmaster unit is illegal. Each beastmaster can only take ONE choice of the monsters. So to take 2 Fiends and 4 Flocks, you'd need 4 Beastmasters. (2x for the Fiends, 2x for 2 flocks each). Fiends are really expensive for what they do, anyway. The traditional standby for Beastmasters is 3 masters, 1 with 5 Khymerae and 2 with 2 Razorwing Flocks each.
I've never had good mileage from using Hellions. I've heard the Baron actually goes well with the Beastmasters, since he gives the unit Stealth. If you're going to use Hellions, give them an Agonizer.
