Hey all,

Before I start, let me say I chose my army comp for as much story and aesthetics as combat efficiency. I made this as a sort of Glass Cannon army with a little oomph behind it. Here's my basic list at 1500 points, without listing every single upgrade;

HQ
Archon
Court w/ 3x Sslyth, 1x Lhamaen, 1x Medusae, 1x Ur-Ghul

Elites
5x Incubi w/ Raider
10x Trueborn, lots of hurty shooty weapons

Troops
10x Warriors w/ Raider
10x Warriors w/ Raider

Fast Attack
5x Scourges

Heavy Support
2x Cronos
1x Talos

May not be the best competitive tourny list, but it's what I have and I like it.

BUT, besides my most badass Archon & Incubi, I'm at a loss of Assault Units. SO I decided to hire some mercenaries for my Kabal and narrowed the selection, but I wanted some opinions from the more advanced players. Note, all of these were chosen for their effectiveness AS WELL AS the story for integrating them into my Kabal.

Eldar
Eldar would bring a nice Psycher to the mix which would be most welcome. Along with my Farseer, I could add as few Guardians as possible(to keep their point cost down!), then get as many Howling Banshees as I could. Could also round it off with a Fire Prism for a proper tank(DE lack tanks, as badass as Talos looks!)

Tau
Have a cool idea for a melee based Tau army, using Kroot for the bulk and a good, solid character. Maybe add a few Stealth Teams for the sex appeal!

Orks
Ah, Orks; mean, green, amusing, and Weirdboys make any game exceptionally humorous. Love 'em to death! Anyways, here I would get a Warphead HQ, for the lulz, then have a mob of 'ard Boys and a mob of Nobz with a Painboy attached, giving them FNP with 2 wounds and 'eavy armor. /shudder!

Chaos Space Marines
Adding them in because I think they have great flavor. Probably go with Nurgle theme, 'cause Papa Nurgle is bauss! Anyways, this choice is PURELY AESTHETIC BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW CHAOS MARINES WORK! Enlighten if they're a good choice ^_^

Thanks, thanks!

EDIT

What I'm also willing to do is pair them with a different army NOT listed, because I can always use that armies stats and units abilities/stats and then make my own fluff. For instance, even if I use Eldar, I might just make their story that of "Wild" Exodites, not Craftworld Eldar, and just use their units. So if you think SM, or SOB, or whathaveyou are better, say so pease!
