I'm trying to make a list mostly revolving around making sure vect gets into combat and survives. He can and will tear anything in the game apart so long as he doesn't get hit back. I won't be able to buy anything for this list so here's what I have: 4 raiders ( I could convert 1 to a ravager), 2 razorwing jet fighters, 1 venom, 30 kabalite warriors, 8 true born with blasters, 10 wyches, 5 scourges, 3 grotesques, duke slices, archon, haemonculis, vect proxy, I could also proxy like 5 wracks or any special character. The list would be dealing with either blood angels, grey knights or guard but most likely guard.

I was thinking something like:

HQ
-Vect 240
(go with grots)

-Haemi 65
the instant death sniper rifle, I forget what its called lol
Elites

-3 grotesques 175
raider, night shields, vectored retro thrusters

Troops

-10 warriors 170
blaster, raider w/dl, night shields

-10 warriors 170
blaster, raider w/dl, night shields

-10 wyches 185
haywires, raider w/dl, night shields

-3 wracks 95
venom w/2 cannon

-10 warriors 110
dark lance

Heavy

-Razorwing jetfighter 145

-Razorwing jetfighter 145

Vect would deep strike with the gots their raider in the middle of their army, yes, it will get popped but hopefully the 9 t5 wounds with fnp should keep him alive, they are only there to be his bodyguard while he shreds things. He will be a huge distraction and will flit from combat to combat killing things. All the while I still have 2 Kabbie raiders, a wyche raider and a wrack venom whizzing around (mostly just trying to survive on turn one) the 10 footslogging Kabbies and the haemi go for backfield and provide support with dl and sniper. I sort of have three elements going on here, vect and grits will destroy everything if ignored, the jet fighters will destroy a lot if ignored and the rest of my army is useful if ignored. What do you think? What's the best vect delivery system?

It's an interesting list and I think I like it. Regarding the Haemonculus, he should be with Vect's unit so they'll have both feel no pain and furious charge; he'll be able to take challenges too. Give him Liquifier gun instead of hexrifle though.
Also you'll have to test out those retrofire jets. I get you want to get close ASAP but there's a lot of risk with it i.e. deep strike mishaps and failed reserve rolls. Honestly, I'd just switch to aethersails so they can fly across the board faster.

Personally, I don't know if the one DL on the foot slogging squad is really worth it. If you drop it you could give your wych squad a hekatrix with PGL to help with getting into cover. Or you could put flickerfields on your flyers.

Some good, suggestions, thanks. Regarding the haemi though, grots are "extremely bulky" so they take up 3 spots in a transport, leaving no room for the haemi and vect. I'll experiment a little, maybe give the haemi a liquefier gun, drop a wych and put him with them, drop the retro fire on vect and give his raider advanced sails, I could swap the footslogging squad for 5 scourges with shard carbines.

Grots are actually just bulky so you can actually fit 4 in a raider with 2 normal characters if you wanted.

Oh, you're right. Did this without checking my codex. This changes everything. I'll drop the footsloggers, put the haemi in with vect, give the haemi a liquifer gun and venom blade instead and take a squad of 5 scourges with shard carbines. Vect and his squad will then put out 7 ap3 3+ wounding attacks at ws8, I8, 4 2+ poisoned strength 4 attacks at ws4 i4 and 20 str6 attacks at ws4 I4 on the charge. The str6 could also take out light vehicles and vect could take out a land raider with 7 haywire grenade attacks. What do you think?

Unfortunately, only one grenade may be thrown per model, so 7 haywires isn't gonna happen (though that would be awesome). That squad should be awesome still, but avoid 2+ armor saves; take those out with your raiders and flyers.

I'm not a fan of scourges, they are not point efficient. For instance, you could a get a ravager for less than their price. You'd have extra AT at range, plus you'd still have 5 pt to put where ever. If you drop the Haemi's venom blade you could put another LG in the grots for extra meltiness.

Oh, ok, did not realize that. I thought grenades seemed a little OP haha. Makes a lot more sense. The only thing is I don't have a ravager or even a raider to proxy after those models there so scourges, footsloggers or true born are kind of my only option.

I would still take footsloggers. Then again either do Hekatrix or flickerfields.
