About me: I have been playing Drukhari since 7th edition so I am a bit of a noob and very willing to heed advice when it comes to this faction. I've done a lot of research, viewed nearly every review on youtube trying to make the most of my forces. I am currently 1-0-0 with Drukhari just one game which was a major win using Kabals only and basically shot my opponent off the board pretty easily (Marines don't enjoy disintegrators). If you see something in the list that can be improved I'd love to hear it.

Game Plan: Depending on the opponent I may choose to stand back and gun them down while in the safety of my transports with all the disintegrator cannons and dark lances. Then push forward turn 3 or so when my fight phase is at it's strongest and clean up. Or I could use streaming jets and drop in to shoot turn 1 and assault turn 2 in the case that I am facing an opponent with superior firepower.

Where are you planning to put the Succubi? This isn't Sphess Mahreens - we only get a 10 transport capacity in our Raiders, which would leave all three of them footslogging, or a squad of...Incubi footslogging? Don't advocate for any of that. Also never been a fan of planning a strategy around my unit's dying - but if you like the Embrace go for it - I always argue that just taking a Succubus that can kill stuff is better, because then she's potentially a bigger threat more often, and your opponent is more obligated to kill her.

I would also suggest that Cult of Strife will serve you better than Cursed Blade - Cursed Blade is excellent for 20 (wo)man blobs of Wyches, but is less optimal for assault elements.

Is your plan to start the Scourges on the board usually? I'm pretty 'meh' on taking the -1 to hit and more expensive weapon just for the range benefit on them. If you go with Blasters you save points, hit just as hard, and don't suffer penalties to hit when moving or DSing (and if you're not doing either of those things, I question taking Scourges over a Ravager or something)

I also question the idea of going with so Many Dissies and then paying for so many Incubi in a list with so much assault - what hole are they filling exactly? Armored stuff the Wyches don't want to tussle with should be getting Dissies to the face, yeah?

With so many Wych units I'd also tend to support the idea of a few shardnets at the least - you're not going to want to let your opponent fall back and shoot you off the board, which any sane opponent would go with as a strategy to deal with this list. Keeping them locked up can be key to maintaining your assault advantage.
