So, running a list tomorrow with a Red Grief detachment of a Succubus, 10 Wyches in a Raider, and 12 Reavers and I can't decide between:

Giving the Reavers Painbringer, so lascannon equivalents need 3s, and giving the Wyches Adrenalight, so they're hitting with 41 attacks.

Or

Giving the Reavers Adrenalight, so the can alpha strike with 37 attacks, and the Wyches Painbringer, so they have a little more survivability against boltgun eqs and only die on 2s to Lasguns?

What are people's thoughts? Also considering whether Grave Lotus might be a good choice for either of them.

I think i like the second option better.

As for Grave Lotus, it depends what you think you will be attacking. +1 attack is better against T3, but +1S is better against T4. I'd consider using it on your second melee unit.

Look at your opponent's army, and choose appropriately.

Winners don't use drugs.

With a large squad of bikes the +1T drug is highly recommended, while wyches usually get the +1A. These are the most common combinations. You can give the succubus the +1S or even the +2'' if you run her on foot.

Reavers will draw a lot of fire, +1T is a very good idea. I've found with Wyches, both +1S and +1A are very good but it does depend on who you're attacking, so Strength for higher T targets and Attacks for lower T targets.

Interestingly, I ran my Succubus with the Stim Addict warlord trait and rolled for them, got a double 1 so my Succubus went up to 6 attacks with the Blood Glaive!

I actually did the same thing

Complete unit killer

+2" would definitely be awesome on a Succubus. I don't think I'd give her the +1S, just because I'm giving her the blood glaive, and not a ton more value in S7 vs S6, I think, since I'm mostly using her against infantry, so I really want 6 or 8. Though, double rolling +1S on the blood glaive would be as awesome as +2 attacks, turn it into a tank killer.
