Next list I'm going to try is a fluffy Wych Cult with some Kabal firepower. I'd like to bring Lelith and all the Wych Cult units I have.

The units of 10 wyches go in the raiders, all the characers are on foot. The big squad of Reavers has the Strife bonus because I don't want to throw it into combat in turn 1, I've already got 2x3 Red Grief Reavers and 20 Hellions for that role. The hellions squad can make use of the Eviscerating Fly-By strategem with devastating effects. I wanted to give missiles to the flyers and grav talons to the Reavers squads but I didn't have the spared points. I may switch the drug that I gave to the biggest unit of wyches with the hellions' one.

I think with that many reavers, grav talons are a must. Dropping a single blaster gives them to the entire unit, which will IMO do much more damage. Alternatively, you could drop a few blast pistols on the hekatrixes or downgrade the voidraven into a razorwing jetfighter would all buy you points for 6 of them.

Thanks for the feedback. I can't take the razorwing as I only own the bomber, I could drop some blasters/blast pistols though but it's a tough call: 4 grav talons means an average of 2 mortal wounds if I charge, which is not far from the damage that a single blast pistol or blaster can inflict in a single round of shooting and probably less than the damage that a single pistol or blaster can cause in the entire game.

But I agree, it's a very good upgrade and I may give those 4 talons to the bigger unit of reavers somehow, probably cutting a blast pistol and replacing the archon's huskblade with a cheaper venom blade.

Some little changes, but basically same list: I've cut the hellions and the bomber in order to bring two battallions for more CPs.

I'll try the min squad of wyches in venoms mostly for a tarpit role and/or a back up for the Red Grief bikes as they can also benefit from the cult bonus and assault by turn 2. To be honest I'd like fielding two more raiders instead of 3 venoms (I'd also save 35 points this way, probably invested in 3 additional blast pistols and 5 shock prows) but I don't have the models. Maybe even 3 additional raiders instead of all 4 venoms, with 20 points spared, or 2 raiders and a unit of scourges with haywire blasters or shredders instead of 4 venoms. With 14 CPs available I may use the stratagem to get more relics.
