In Purge the Alien I will die a slow and terrible death, but in most other cases I think I can do fine blasting away just about anything with all those poison and DL fun.
If my calculations are right there are 12 vehicles in 1500pt!
Thoughts?

 1500pt O'Vesa Star W: 27 D: 2 L: 1
The challenge: in a 1500pt game I will play 900pt + D6x100 pts, if I roll a 6 I reroll and -100 to that second number (down to 1000pt minimum)

If your going to spam hardcore, why are you wasting so many points? You could get dual cannons for each venom, blasters for two of the trueborn units just by changing up your transports and HQ.
If you want a cheese army, at least do it correctly.

Man that's really something...
Dual cannons can probably put out a lot more damage. Thanks for that.
I have brought dishonor to the cheese god! I must redeem myself!

I have started using Scourges over Venoms. Armor 10 is not really worth it. Losing 12 shots to a bolter is stupid. Tau mess them up as well.

What is this guy for? You have no combat, take a haemonculus. He is 50 points and opens up wracks as troops, they are the best troops in the codex so that's nice.
Why are these in a raider? Venom it up!
Lanceborn are OK, not great. If you want them drop the transport. I'd reccomend bikes with Heat Lances as better anti tank.

Shredders are awful. grisly Trophies are OK sometiems, but a luxury. You want Nightshields on all your venoms to help them survive. Also I'd recommend switching these fro Wracks. 3 Wracks, Venom, 2 Splinter Cannon, Nightshield is 105pts. Cheap cheap cheap.
These are OK. Again nightshields and I'd rather have Blasterborn than Blaster Venoms and often Bikes over either, but these are fine.
These are solid, but give them nightshields.
You'll save poitns for Nightshields through taking Haemie and wracks, plus doesn't change your army too much.

The raiders are there to be more anti tank, so in my original list I'd have 15 dark lance for my anti tank needs.
I never really thought about how night shields might be useful, because most anti tank guns are super long range anyways; but now that I put some thoughts into it it does protect you against small arm fire because...well...venoms are not exactly durable from what I see, although the default flicker field is a nice bonus.

So here's my new list:
Haemie
5 Trueborn w/ 2 Splinter cannons
Venom w/ 2 Cannon and night shield
5 Trueborn w/ 2 Splinter cannons
Venom w/ 2 Cannon and night shield
3 Wracks
Venom w/ 2 Cannon and night shield
3 Wracks
Venom w/ 2 Cannon and night shield
3 Wracks
Venom w/ 2 Cannon and night shied
5 Warriors w/ blaster
Venom w/ 2 Cannon and night shield
5 Warrior w/ blaster
Venom w/ 2 Cannon and night shield
5 Warrior w/ blaster
Venom w/ 2 Cannon and night shield
Ravager w/ night shield
Ravager w/ night shield
Ravager w/ night shield
This comes out to 1385pt, what can I do with the last 115 points? Anything fun to be tried out?
