This is a second draft list for a small 1000pt tourney I'll be taking part in next weekish. The requirement for me as an 'evil' race are: 1000pts, no Heavy Support, min 1 HQ, 2 Troops, 1 Fast Attack.
It's a local GW themed tourney - 3 'rounds' 1st is a 'fast raid' on a marine something, to represent this evil players cannot have HS slots, and must have 1+ FA choices. I forget the 'good guys' restriction.
Round 2 is a 1500pt game representing a siege to take down the training grounds = Evil must take 1+ HS, Good can only take 0-1 Elites.
I can use my standard list there, and it should do alright.
3rd round is going to be an Apoc game - restrictions and targets to be decided on the results of the first 2 rounds.
I have the week off, the GF is at uni during the day so I figured why not.
then should be fine... the loss of ravagers will be tough to swallow. the question i have is why only 5 man units on raiders? if your going with raiders, fill them up, otherwise venoms. i would also suggest blasterborn instead of splinter cannons, since the blasters deal anti tank, while the venoms pack more then enough anti infantry, (and can fire at full power while moving)
heres my 2 bits on a 1000k no hev support list using your models. internet cookie cutter.... but hey. if it aint broke dont fix it.
haemey joins the wracks, simply because he is better with them, then anything else, and otherwise hes a solo foot slogger. the warriors are your mobile infantry response, blasterborn are your heavy lifters, and "replace" ravagers as tank hunters. scourges take on the anti infantry role, and fill your 1+ FA slot. try to shoot as much as possible, and dont commit your wracks to combat unless you need them to hit something or contest, since they wont compete well with TH/SS or other more dedicated assault. i would almost suggest taking wyches in place of wracks since they benefit nicley from the haemy, and do a better job in CC - but you dont have the models listed. pts wise, 9 wyches with a hekatrix inc is 170 (inc raider) so 10 pts more. loose the warrior blaster and you come to 993 instead. and you'll have more deserable results in CC.
edit: your also kind of light on troops with list, more then i personally would take, but you do have a good amount of units on field here... and in 1000 pts it should be fine, as long as your careful with your scoring models.
good luck at your tourney!

I would make the Reavers one unit since its 1+ 3 man Reaver units get wiped fast with a heat lance.... 6 has more staying power....
Why not a 4th TB in the venom? With the Ravagers out you are down the DL... the extra Blasters would surely help out no?
you don't own 1 wych? Strange they are so good in CC.... I would prefer 8 of them on the raider instead of the Kabs.... Only for tying up dreadnaughts etc.... they really tarpit those guys
Back in 2001, I used to have some, but I don't think I used them that often, back then I mostly ran a foot list with an Archon and its retinue of incubi (and warriors with a cannon), some grotesques with haems, then multiple squads warriors of 2 splinter cannons and 2 lances, with a pair of ravagers for support.
But that collection is in storage. With my 'reboot' collection, I figured I never really liked the wyches myself and never really used them - So I just bought up a Dark Eldar Battleforce, a Dark Elf Battleforce and a box of Wood Elf Dryads, and converted up a load of Kabalite stuff, with some Haems and Grotesques. With the new 'dex, I switched mainly to a Coven, and my current standard 1500pt list for the past several months is 2 haems, 2 squads of 4 grots in raiders, 2 squads of 10 wracks in raiders, 2 squads of 3 wracks in venoms, 2 talos and a razorwing.
Simply put - I just like Wracks and the fleshy griblies of the Haemonculi, and am not a big fan of the Wych Cults.
My normal tactic has been soften targets with my venoms, then drop everything into combat with those weakened squads to keep them safe from shooting. Lances / Haywire Blasters focus on vehicles.
I haven't got blasterborn because - I only have about.. 2 blasters on warriors I think. BUT I do have enough splinter cannons, and I figured at low points levels I'm going to have to worry about infantry more than vehicles (could be wrong).
I was going for MSU, with numerous vehicles and plenty of troops for any objectives.
