Ok, so I didn't realize that Drukhari were getting their codex so soon when I wrote that first list. Not that we've had LOTS of rules leaked I've made up a codex list. Understand that while this list is WAY over budget (2244/2000), most things have had some pretty significant price drops in the new dex. So while I don't know if this will fit into a 2k list, I'm thinking that it will be very close from what I gather so far.

The idea is to have the 5 Raiders loaded up with 3 units of Poison Kabalites and 2 units of Shardnet Wyches. Screen with the 20 Strong Hydra Claw Wych units and keep the Dark Lance Scourges in reserve. Tuck the
HQs safely away.
The Kabalites hunt infantry, Scourges hunt armour, Shardnets tie up what infantry I want to control, Hydra Gauntlets hunt scoring units. The Wyches should be tough to wipe out and wound more often with the CotCB Obsession, the Kabalites should have an easy time out maneuvering and wounding their targets between the KotPT Obsession and Splinter Racks, and the Scourges will be safe till I decide to drop them and disintegrate what needs disintegrating with their
DS rule and 16 Dark Lances (21 in total in the army).
I went for a list that features redundancy and an aspect of mobility. Obviously this will most likely change once I get the codex in my hands, but based on what we have to go on for now I feel like it may do well and be really fun to play in a casual environment around my local store and with buddies.
What do you guys think so far? Are there any glaringly obvious choices I could change to make this a better list with the information we have to go on? If you're critiquing this after the Dex drops, what warlord traits should I consider?
This being my first Drukhari army (second list ever), I'm really looking forward to some insight from you guys. As I've mentioned before, I haven't bought anything yet because I'm waiting on the codex to be released, but your input is just as valuable!
