i like the theme and back ground of a mad scientist list-yet i would like it to be as competative as possible without losing the theme...

any ideas? thanks in advance

Well ur squad of 9 wracks can only have 1 liquifier gun. Unless that's 10 wracks with the acothyst upgrade. Where are ur haemmys riding?

ah right that may be from when i changed the list about 1st time and urien is in the webway with the grotesqes and each ham,y rides up front with wracks to throw down webways

Drop Urien. He's incredibly expensive, equivalent of 3 tooled up Haemonculi or a full unit of something else. He's also as frail as regular Haemonculi, and all he does is allow you to give +1 Str to your grots and pass around a few more pain tokens.

At 1500pts in my coven I have 2 squads of 3 grotesques (liquifier, ab w/ venom blade) with haems (venom blade, liquifier gun) in raiders, 2 raiders of 10 wracks with liquifiers and acothysts, then 2 squads of wracks with hex rifles in venoms, 2 talos with tl liquifiers and haywire blasters and a razorwing.

Uriens 190pts is a whole other unit, or 3 more haemonculi.

Your Haemonculi want to have a Liquifier gun, and if they're seeing combat either a Venom Blade or Agoniser.

For the grotesques, now youve dropped Urien, have 5 with a liquifier gun, an abberation with either a Venom Blade or Scissorhand. (Re-rolls to wound on anything with T5 or less ) with a standard Haem.

The Wracks on foot coming out of the WWP bump to a 10 man squad, with 2 liquifiers, add a Haem with a liquifer - 3 templates then the charge will drop most anything in a blitz.

I'd also consider trying to fit a 3rd talos in the list.
