I made this list to mess around with the fact you can reduce Leadership with multiple formations of the Coven Detachment. I'm sure it can be better.

I'm sure there's some areas it could be improved in though.

For tactics its rather straight forward.

Deep Strike the Dark Artisan and Grotesques where they need to be. Nothing is on the board on turn 1 so you'd want your opponent to go first. Going 2nd is actually what you want to do.

Venoms w/ Wracks deep strike near the Aegis, Wracks get out and run into the Cover. They're Fearless, FNP, and have a Cover save.

If nothing is on the board turn 1 you auto lose.

Scalpel Squadron does DS first turn.

Yeah, as was stated. Scalpel Squadron Deep Strikes on turn 1.

if its a fun list why not replace the crimson hunter with a hemlock for more leadership shenenigans

There's nothing in the army that can deal with other fliers, that's about it. I thought about that.
