This is my DE 2750 army list, everything has it's purpose and everything generally gets to do so, however I would like to improve on this. Befor you ask, I include Drazhar because the armour save he has got and when he gets feel no pain he is awesome.
The main fault of this army is that I don't know what to give my wyches.

Any comment accepted

I'm a little confused by a couple of things on your list - either you're writing stuff wrong, playing stuff wrong, or I'm playing stuff wrong...since I'm really full of myself I'll presume the problem is on your end

1. Do you deep strike with the Ravagers too? As prime tank busters I'm confused why they have retrofires.

2. Shattershards can't be taken in multiples, they're a one per army selection.

3. For coming out of a portal why a dark lance? Wouldn't a Blaster make more sense...also, who else is even coming out of that thing, the Lance Warriors, the Beasts and the Hellions? The WWP aspect feels randomly tacked on and not a viable and core part of the army.

4. You appear to be running the Wyches just as anti-mech mostly, so why are you wanting to get them FNP? After the wreck vehicles are they just going to kinda desperately grab at stuff and hope to tarpit? For the points you're burning in...well, a lot of places, but let's say Scourges - you're burning hundreds of points on Scourges for anti-infantry tools...why not sack some of that and give the Wyches the gear to be a viable h2h threat as well as a mech threat? It would also make that pain token you're getting more viable, and would save you points, and overall would make a tougher army.

5. Drahzar? He's not bad, but you have noticed that for 10 points more you get Asdrubael who is...significantly better in basically every way. Though, quite frankly, I wince at how the Incubi lack grenades at least Asdrubael will have them so he can swing at initiative.

6. The Wracks are troops, fyi, also, what's their point? They're just sort of there being less good Wyches in this list, as you gave them none of the tools that makes them really different and better than Wyches so...they're just there, doing something I can't fathom.

7. If the Razorwing is there for anti-mech it's...not really a great choice. But even if you want it for anti-mech, why Necrotoxin missiles? Those are anti-infantry most assuredly.

Drazhar's weakness is that he has no invul. 3 power weapon wounds or three AP2 shots and he's gone. FNP doesn't help here either. As thor said for 10 points you get Vect, who is a beast...I'd go with Vect.

Ok I get the portal...kinda. The huskblade I don't get nor the shattershard. Shattershards are a one shot deal then it is back to a pistol. Liquifiers can keep going. As for the huskblade...why? These guys should not be in CC. They aren't fleet and don't have a good Int for DE. Let the wyches disembark and take the Haemys' pain tokens with them and leave the haemys in the boats to liquifier stuff.

Ok not too killy, but killy enough. Please tell me that venom has two SC on it. If not it needs it.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:

Well these guys are troops..not elites with haemys in the army. That said I would drop them for 4 trueborn with blasters...obviously in a Venom with 2 SC.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:
ELITES Kabalite Trueborn, 4 Blasters, 1 Dark Lance (Venom, extra splinter cannon) 225

And now I'm confused. Why put them in a transport and mix ranges that much on weapons. Either 4 blasters or 2 DL. Blasters get a venom, DL hide in a building. Blasterborn are my preferred kit out as they are more survivable, have AT, and a transport that kills infantry.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:
TROOPS Kabalite Warriors x10, 1 Dark Lance(come through portal) 115

Uhmm...negative. Why bring a DL through a portal? You waste all the turns they aren't on the board and then can't fire when they do show up. 5 guys, 1 blaster, venom, 2SC.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:
TROOPS [3x] Wyches x9 (go with Haemies) Haywire grenades (3 Raiders, Flickerfield , Shock Prow) 569

Ok Haywires are good. Now you need a hekatrix with an agoniser per squad, and a razorflial. As for the Raiders, the FF are good...shock prows...not so much. Save the points for wyche weapons and such.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:
FA Scourgers x 10(I use them for anti-infantri alongside warriors) 220

Venoms, beasts, and wyches are enough anti-infantry. If you are set on a portal then give them heat lances at 5 guys in the squad...in fact run two squads of them.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:
FA Hellions x20 320

I also don't get this. Hellions are meh at best. Baron makes them ok...I guess. When compared to scourges, reavers, and beasts. These guys are a pass for me.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:
FA Beastmaster x1, Agoniser, 1 Clawed fiend, 5 Kyhmerae 135

First off this is illegal. One beastmaster is needed for the fiend alone. Now get about 3 of them and run 5 Kyhmerae and 4 razorwings. The agoniser is fine and putting them in the portal is a great zone denial trick.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:
HS Razorwing, Flickerfield, 4 Necrotoxin 175

If you run the razorwing as anti-inantry...I can't blame you...then drop the DL for dissies and pick up the TL SC, and keep the missiles stock. You should wound almost everything on a 2+ anyway so why pay for it. Honestly though at this level you need every AT gun you can get. In this case it means dark lances. A Ravager is the best for this for the cost.

HS [2x] Ravager,Flickerfield, Retrofire Jets 240

I really don't get the retrofire jets. Why deep strike one of your best AT vehicles and not let them shoot till they come in? Save the points and leave the jets behind.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:

This is a trick your opponent will see coming as Hellion scream Hit and Run with a leader...also that leader can do some serious damage to them assuming they are still alive...like I said before leave them behind.

Good tactic. Get that portal where your opponent can't run from beasts or scourges.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:

Warriors kill tanks best not infantry. Scourges have access to unique AT weapons like the heat lance and haywire blaster. Don't waste these weapons for anti-infantry. You venoms can weaken squads but you want the wyches to win on your opponent's turn not yours.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:

Ok so why DS them? Drop the jets.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:

Yeah...

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:

Beasts can hose big squads with razorwings too...just remember your's as is right now is illegal.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:

Then why take necrotoxin? If armor is left by the time you DS this in to get position you are probably in trouble. Either way ravagers are cheaper for AT.

Sorry for the wall-o-text.

Dial your army *down* to 2k. Or 1850 or 1750. I think you're biting off more than you can chew. DE are an army that 'tops' out near 2k (venom spam & wyches, anyway). Unless you can deliver 3 units of heavily razorflocked Beast Masters.

Your army reads ... no offense intended, but nooBish. You should make the corrections Thor and Akroma06 addressed. My 'quick' fixes would be:

No, there's a lot wrong with it.

As stated, Shatters are *ONE* per army. Toss the huskblades as Haems suck at h2h and you shouldn't beef 'em up for it. Go 1 ShatterShard and the other two liquifiers.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:ELITES Kabalite Trueborn, 4 Blasters, 1 Dark Lance

As Akorma said, toss the DL. You can't fire it at all if the venom moves. And you can only fire the blasters if the venom moves less than 6", Combat Speed.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:TROOPS Kabalite Warriors x10, 1 Dark Lance(come through portal)

The DL is a 'heavy' weapon and can't be fire on the Move. Switch to a blaster.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:TROOPS [3x] Wyches x9 (go with Haemies) Haywire grenades (3 Raiders, Flickerfield , Shock Prow) 569

Promote one girl to hekatrix with agonzier and you're good.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:FA Beastmaster x1, Agoniser, 1 Clawed fiend, 5 Kyhmerae

It's the Razorwings that make BM units rock, with all those wounds and all those attacks.

Drazhar_Incubus2512 wrote:2x Ravager,Flickerfield, Retrofire Jets

As Thor said, toss the Retros. Just start 'em on the table, Move Cruising Speed and shoot.
