Had a lot of help from people on the forum recently trying to get a decent DE list together so thank you everyone for the help.

This is the final list I came up with. Could a few of you look at it and make sure I am not going mental and actually have a good idea of what I am doing (or planning to do!).

With regards to the Succubus, would a Haemoculus be better for the Wyches for a free pain token considering their armor save is terrible!? I would have enough points to give him a Liquifier gun and then have 5 points to spare.

Regarding your ravagers

Either make them all disintegrator or all lance, not a mixture of both, that way you don't waste shots with some weapons on certain targets (I.e. a disintegrator won't do squat vs a LR)

As far as HQ's, if your going to run wytches with intent to assault you need the pain token from a hamey. The hamey can sit back with the liquifier and maybe a venom blade while the wytches work. All wytches need haywire grenades for AT duty if needed.

Drazhar and incubi are expensive, but can be effective against the right target. Bloodbrides are not very effective and such a small squad is easily killed. Demote them to 5 wytches with haywire grenades. As far as wytch weapons, never mix. Shardnets are good for tarpitting, the other 2 are for killing in assault...but wytches are fairly weak in assault so I would go defensive if I went anything. Hekatrix needs a venom blade.

Venoms ALWAYS need 2 splinter cannons, it is really not an option. Doubles the output of your dakka and increases range.

If your going for AT kabbies, it can work but be aware your dark lance in the boat will snap fire if you move(you will want to move most of the time) and the blaster has to get close. A better loadout for kabbies is splinter rifles and splinter racks on the raider for AI.

I put nightshields on every skimmer I bring, they really help. Some people are not a fan, but I like them. They work best on anything that uses distance(ravager). Flickerfields are a bit less needed with jink but if your meta has a lot of ignore cover stuff keep em.

Reavers are ok, I would try to get blasters for the 3rd squad though.

Don't mix and match ravager weapons. Go all 3 of either, so If you want dissies, do 2 lance ravagers one dissie ravager.

You need a 4th troop, but if you make the bloodbrides normal wytches you should be fine.

Thanks both of you, gives me stuff to think about.

I do have a Haemy model so I can switch the Suc out easy enough.

Will revisit the list and post in it a bit.

Okay how about this! Suggestions needed

Added Urien for free Pain Token for the Wyches as well as the rest of the fluff he has.

Like so... I think this works better...

Urien is okay, but why take him and no coven units? Making wracks troops with boosted pain tokens as well as grots is part of his game. He makes a decent warlord as he is hard to kill, but you need at least 2-3 coven units to consider him. Just go a normal hamey for FNP.

That said, wracks are better than wytches at everything but AT. Since you have no haywire grenades, the wytches are meh.

So something more like this then?
