Playing around with list ideas and tried to make one that makes use of Drazhar and the awesomeness that are Incubi in general (although I acknowledge the nerf in 6th). Let me know what you think.


HQ

Drazhar- 230

3x Haemonculi- 165

Elites

8xIncubi- 246

6xIncubi- 247

9xWyches- 213

raider/dl/nightshield

Heavy

3xRavagers- 345
lances

Total=2001


The Haems ride with the incubi and wyches. Warrior squads gunboat/objective camp and shoot vehicles (id consider changing their raiders to destructors and swapping the DL for an SC). Ravagers do what ravagers do. Otherwise the wyches and Draz and his incubi roll up and hopefully tear through pretty much everything. So what are your thoughts? Any glaring weaknesses? Any super hard counters? I'm not trying to have the most competitive list, just wondering if this would work. Thanks in advance.

Biggest recommendation from me is to get splinter racks on those warrior gun boats, seriously, re-rolls with rapid fire weapons is painful!

In theory I do like splinter racks. But for this list, where the focus is melee and the darklances of the warriors I simply dont have the points. Even if I did I'd probably be tempted to forgo them and just get another incubi or two for the smaller squad.

Fair play man, I just think that re-rolls on all of those splinter rifles will have greater effect than, say, 2 or 3 Incubi, as

a) can take more wounds off your opponents
b) once the incubi's dead he's dead, at least the SR warriors have more wounds and can last longer.

Just my 10 pence though pal, that's what I'd do

You should take a blaster or splinter cannon or both in your warrior boats instead of the dark lance. For the warriors to fire a dark lance from the raider, the raider has to remain stationary which denies it the 5+ jink save. Which kinda sucks. Take assault weapons you can fire on the move (splinter cannon or blaster or shredder even).

Drop the PGL's off the wytches. You already have assault grenades, and the defensive grenades stealth bonus is okay, but it is unlikely to save you from close range shooting. Spend the points for a liquifier gun for the hameys.Overwatch liquifier> possible stealth and defensive grenade bonus.


I second dropping the Darklances on the warriors to blasters. Saves some points there too. Maybe to get some nightshields on the ravagers.

Interesting loadout with the wytches. I see that challenges are going to be issued frequently with hekatrixes and hameys. Incubi challenges are going to be outright nasty with S5 AP2 prefered enemy.

Okay so dropping the warrior lances for cannons, adding splinter racks, and dropping the wych PGL leaves me at 1976. With 24 points should I give Liquifiers to 2 haems, or add another incubi to the smaller squad? Or does someone have another idea what to do with 24 points? Also with those changes how does the list look as a whole? As a side note in answer to someone, I forgot to mention that night shields are already paid for on the ravagers. Thanks for all the replies.

2 liquifiers will do more damage that 1 Incubi, so that gets my vote. Remember it's your army though so you do what you want.

It seems like a good and fun list, now its just tactical choices that you should focus on. Just make sure that your Raiders always support the Incubi, otherwise they'll get bogged down in the open, and its horrible to watch them get picked off by a tactical squad holed up in a ruin 20" away (that memory still hurts!)

1 question though, I dont remember the ruling off the top of my head, but hasn't 6th ed made it so you can only 1 HQ per every 2000 points?

I dont actually have the new book, however, it seems a bit off that at 2000 points you can take 6 heavy support but not 2 HQ's.

You can take 4 HQ's at 2000pts so long as you have 4 troops.

At 1999pts and below, your back to only being able to use 2.

The HQs on this list are still fine. You can still take up to 3 Haemonculi per HQ choice.

Drazhar + 3 Haemys = A-OK on single FOC.
