I'm glad it still looks fluffy. Although, I must point out that in a game sub 2000 points, I can take up to 6 Heavy Support because you can have unlimited primary detachments now in a battle forged list which is kinda cool. I'd like to point out a sample 2k list that I'm kinda shooting for, and I'd love your feedback not only on effectiveness, but also in fluff. Keep in mind, I've got my tourney kabal list, but I'm not finding much challenges at my FLGS and with my friends so I want to bring something a little more casual and fluffy. Here goes:

HQ:

Haemunculus, venom blade, liquifier, shattershard (or crucible)

Baron Sathonyx


Troops:
10 Wracks, 2 liquifier; Raider
10 Wracks, 2 liquifier; Raider
5 Wyches, haywire; venom
5 Wyches, haywire; venom

Elites:
4 Grotesques, liquifier; Raider (with haemy)
3 trueborn, 2 splinter cannon; venom
3 Trueborn, 2 splinter cannon;venom

Fast Attack:
5 Beastmasters
-10 Khymera
-6 Razorwing flocks

Dedicated Transports:
Raider, Dark Lance
Raider, Dark Lance
Raider, Dark Lance
Venom, dual splinter cannon
Venom, dual splinter cannon
Venom, dual splinter cannon
Venom, dual splinter cannon

Heavy Support:
Ravager, Triple Dark Lance
Ravager, Triple Dark Lance
Ravager, Triple Dark Lance
Talos Pain Enginer, liquifier, splinter cannon
Talos Pain Engine, liquifier, splinter cannon


Fluff being, The baron even though outcasted, was an archon and still has some ravagers, and venoms / raiders. The Master Haemy is really looking to make a name for himself, and if the Baron can be redeemed then he can become his Master Haemunculus once the baron's title of "Archon" is restored. Thoughts?

I'm guessing the list looks solid?

If its meant to be fluffy you should have Helions to go with the Baron

Aside from that, I would give the Haemo a WWP otherwise the Talos' are going to be stuck at the back of the board as nobody is going to want to move to them (or they will just shoot the hell out of them).

If I play with Talos' I always take a Cronos with them so I can give them a pain token (only have to kill 1 model and not the whole unit so its well worth it).

Thanks for the feedback. I find the talos control the table extremely well, and now that they're scoring you pretty much own the midfield if you stick two there. They're insurance against drop pods and great at table control.

Unless I'm mistaken, you need a Haemonculus in each detachment to make the Wracks troops.

You are correct.

Wow, didn't catch that.. fixed.

I didn't either

I think this is a good list. Looks strong and would be fun to play with or against. No real suggestions for improvement.
