Ravagers need Flickerfields instead of Night Shields - most of the times NS will be useless. Also, You should equip Ravagers with Dark Lances instead of Disintegrators (which are antiinfantry) - Your list already has plenty of antiinfantry in the form of Splintercannons/splinter weaponry.
I'd put Dark Lances on Raider transports as well for the same reasons.
Archon need Combat Drugs.
Hydra Gauntlet is actually the least effective of Wych/Bloodbride upgrades and those Wyches need Hekatrix with Agoniser, because they won't kill any much themselves. Wyches/Bloodbrides are essentialy an Agoniser delivery system and ablative wounds for it.
I's also put a Blaster in each of Kaballite squad as well.

If You are at maximum range with Ravagers (36") then those extra 6" won't help You to deal with most ranged high strength threats such as railguns, lascannons and missile launchers. All those are priorities for Ravagers, but they also tend to have 48" range. So in order to hit them with Your 36" weapons You have to be closer to them and at that range the NS won't be effective anymore. Your best bet is invul and cover saves.
Hydra gauntlet depends on dice and for the same price You can get an extra wych which will put out the same amount of attacks that You get from gauntlet per average. Shardnet and impaler at the same time help to diminish incoming power weapon/instakill attacks, which will ignore Your FNP saves (after the first pain token) - shardnet is also good against dreads and enemy HQs. I also forgot to tell that haywire grenades are pretty mandatory on wyches as well.
There is another cheaper version of archon with agoniser, shadowfield and combat drugs - good to go with wyches as well. Huskblade/Soultrap combo really depends on whether there as Monstrous creatures on the table or enemy HQ willing to engage, whereas agoniser works everytime.

For 1000 points Bloodbrides are a bit overkill... In fact, I'd rather run 9 wyches with Archon (or even more cheaper - Haemonculus) in that Raider, and split the Warriors in two packs, each with a blaster, in Venoms with double Splinter cannons. But I dont wish to impose my 1000 list on You

Your second list is more balanced and I'd say, it is even semi-competitive for playing around without being severely beaten up. Though, if You have picked DE, then still be ready to be beaten up, since they are quite fragile and not forgiving mistakes.

The only thing I'd change in Your list is that Phantasm Grenade Launcher in Bloodbride squad - they don't need it, since they already have plasma grenades. The only time You have to buy it is when Your Archon joins Incubi squad, because Incubi do not have access to any type of grenades. By dropping PGL You get free 10 points.

Btw, Your list is quite similar to mine, except that I use a Raider with wyches and my blaster-warriors go around in Venoms.

The best way to cut the points down even more is to take a Haemonculus with Liquifier Gun/Shattershard instead of Archon. The idea is that he joins Wyches, gives them his pain token. When Wyches disembark into CC, Haemie stays on board of Raider (he sucks in CC anyway). But You usually do this thing when You have at least 9 Wyches with Hekatrix, since they can handle most things pretty well (double 4+ save!). You can't do this with wyches in Venom, since You need at least 5 of them and if You take Haemie You can't take Venom anymore. And even if You could, I doubt they would have enough killing power without Archon. If You wish You can still experiment with his option in respect of the Bloodbrides.

Did You take that extra splinter cannon for Your Venoms as well? If not, You should, when You expand Your list.
