This is a 1750 DE list i've just come up with. Shouldn't really be thinking about starting another new army, but I really like DE.
Trying to get something a little different, although to be honest i'm expecting its either not all that different or just not any good, but here is the list anyway:

HQ:
Archon 110
(Agoniser, Shadow Field)

-Archon's Court 110
2x Lhamaean
2x Medusae
4x Ur-Ghul
-Raider 60

Haemonculusx2 110
(1x liquefier gun)


Elite:
Incubi x5 110
-Venom (Splinter cannon) 65

Incubi x5 110
-Venom (Splinter cannon) 65

Troop:
Wyches x9 100
( Shardnet & Impaler)

-Raider 60

Wyches x9 100
( Shardnet & Impaler)

-Raider 60

Warriors x5 55
(Blaster)
-Venom (Splinter Cannon) 65

Warriors x5 55
(Blaster)
-Venom (Splinter Cannon) 65

Warriors x5 55
(Blaster)

-Venom (Splinter Cannon) 65

Heavy:
Ravager 105
Ravager 105
Ravager 105
1750/1750

So i've got 5 Venoms, 3 Raiders and 3 Ravagers, now I know thats not as spammy as possible, but I wanted to be able to deliver some close combat punch (and I don't want an army with 3 squads of Trueborn and 6 squads of Warriors in Venoms, it may be effective but its not how I want to play). I'm not sure if its going to be all that wonderful though, the Incubi and Wyches don't really have any upgrades, which may be a problem? As I haven't played as DE (or actually thinking about it, played against them more than twice...) i'm not 100% sure how that will work out. Is trying to fit the Court, Haemonculus, bigger Wyches and Incubi squads in a bad idea? Wanted second Haemon to have a liquifer, but was 10 points over.
Any advice on how this list could be better, or how a CC DE list should look like would be great.

You need a Sslyth for your court to be legal.



"They shall be My Hammer, the sword in My hand, the gauntlet about My fist, the bane of My foes and woes of the treacherous. When no others may stand beside them, they shall fight. Only the greatest shall enter their ranks, for unto them do I entrust stewardship over the Gates of Hell."

How did I miss that?
Probably have to drop the second Haemonculus to fit that in...

Second page, and only had 6 views in last 16 hours...

So, apart from the mistake with the Court, what else is wrong/needs improving.
I've kind of already gone off this list, I like the idea of the court, but having to add another 35 points to it, possibly Archon needing more gear makes it very expensive and lacks any power weapons so probably not much better than Wyches in combat.

Like the idea of a WWP list, do they work?
