I would take a Haemonculus if you want the whip. Then you can have FNP on the Wyches as well as the Whip. You'd lose some hitting power, but save points and having FNP and your 4++ in cc looks really good at 750 pts. I wouldn't take two Venom blades, as dualing them is just sort of a waste- one is enough. I'm assuming the rule with whoever you're playing against is that you only need one Troops choice? You may also want to take out the Klaivex, or drop the Incubi entirely in favour of some Warriors with a Blaster in a Venom(or two, Codex isn't on hand for looking at Incubi costs). Then you'd have something to cap objectives and it can churn out enough shots to do damage, as well as carry a Blaster. Of course these are just suggestions, and I am basically trying to free up enough points in the list to grab some Haywire 'Nades for the Wyches.

I think this list is a bit top heavy... 9 incubi, I wouldn't take a unit that large in like 2,000pts... they just don't need that many of them. You want to hit combat but NOT kill everything that turn, otherwise you'll be shot to poo. Also wyches themselves aren't exactly very strong nowadays... Succubi also is a bit confused, why not a cheap but useful Heamo with a liquifier gun?

Even in 750pts I'd do my best to have more lances too... I never leave home without the small squads of trueborn with blasters... 3 trueborn, 3 blasters and a raider, that's 4 str8 ap2 shots... You'll really find that wyches are a bit of a confused unit. They aren't for killing, more for tarpitting, and in a game so small, you can't expect to tarpit everything and have the incubi squad clean up, it just wont work.

That said 2x Incubi squads in 750 (5 men) might be more intimidating, and give you some redundancy.

First off - I'm not sure if I'm just being confused by the way you wrote up the list (I am, it's written in a non-helpful way) but one way or the other your point total is off and the list isn't legal.
If you're
Succubus
Incubi (Raider)
Wyches (Raider and two Venom blades for some reason...)
Ravager

You are under in points and don't have 2 Troop slots.
If you're

Succubus
Incubi
Wyches (Raider)
Wyches (Raider)
Ravager

You have a legal force org, but are over in points.

This is a pretty specialized build. At 750. How many things are going to have more than one wound? How many of them will you be able to wound with your Str 3 attack? Yeah...I'd just take an Aggie for more consistant wounding.

DarkEldar wrote:Elite
incubi 9 + klaivex

Here's where I'd save points to make your list legal. At the very least, the Klaivex is doing almost nothing for the squad without Klaivex abilities. I'd drop him in a heartbeat. Also, since (I guess) The Succubus is going here, you're setting yourself up for some issues because the Succubus can't take a PGL and the Incubi lack grenades. So, if you insist on this as your death star, at least recognize that you can't assault into cover without becoming I1.

As noted, if that *is* meant to say 2x V.Blades (as opposed to 2x Squad) there is no point to it - you'll save points and be better off just with a splinter pistol.
Other than that oddity this is fine.

DarkEldar wrote:Ravager

Again, this is fine.

Overall I would say - double check your codex for point totals, you're messing something up in how you figure them. Also, re-read the rules about force orgs in the core rulebook. Your Incubi squad is too large and expensive, while also being unweildly due to lack of grenades making for a deathstar that is probably going to fall on its face. You can save points by trimming it down - and, frankly, for 750 will probably need to drop them altogether to afford your 2nd needed Troop - or at least do a major rework of the list.
