I use Wracks a lot. I thought I'd share some unit builds I use and see what others think and if they have any setups they use.

Deckchair Wrakcs

3 Wracks 30 Points

You know what these are for.

Ballast Wracks

3 Wracks, Venom, Splinter Cannon, Grisly Trophies 100 Points

These wracks allow me to get a cheap venom, then act as Deckchair wraps or a mobile scoring unit as required.

Combat Wracks

5 Wracks, Liquifier, Acothyst, Scissorhand, Venom, Splinter Cannon 150 points

A solid, scoring, combat unit, that comes with a Flamer and a Venom. Deadly and durable.

Combat Wracks +

4 Warcks, Venom, Splintercannon 105 points
Haemonculi, Liquifier, Scissorhand 75 points

30 points more than Combat Wracks, these come with an extra wound an extra 3+P attack and furious charge!

Haemonculi Depository

3 Wracks, Venom, Splintercannon 95 points
Haemonculi, Liquifier, Scissorhand 75 points
Haemonculi, Liquifier, Scissorhand 75 points

At 245 points this is very pricey, I usually use this when I need the Haemonculi for something else (Like giving pain tokens to bikes) so they don't normally start with 3 pain tokens in this unit, although you could use them that way. This has alot more hi quality attacks that Combat Wrakcs + and 2 flamers, but you pay a premium.

Do you ever use this?
Homonculus with flesh gauntlet and hexrifle with 5 wracks, including an acothyst w/ a hexrifle?

I would use this to hold an objective and do some long range supporting fire with the hexrifles.

wracks as assault troops really need grenades. So I think you need an archon with a PGL. He loses his fleet, but is T4 against shooting.
