Had an idea for a Drukhari list mixing Ynnari with Flayed Skull:

Ynnari (Drukhari) Battalion:
- Archon w/ Huskblade, Blaster, PGL, The Hungering Blade (Warlord: Lord of Rebirth) - 96
- Yncarne w/ Gaze of Ynnead, Ancestor's Grace - 337
5 Kabalite Warriors w/ Blaster - 47
5 Kabalite Warriors w/ Blaster - 47
5 Kabalite Warriors w/ Blaster - 47
3 Reavers w/ Blaster - 74
3 Reavers w/ Blaster - 74
3 Reavers w/ Blaster - 74

Flayed Skull Battalion:
- Archon w/ Huskblade, Splinter Pistol, Djin Blade - 76
- Archon w/ Agoniser, Splinter Pistol - 72
5 Kabalite Warriors w/ Blaster - 47
5 Kabalite Warriors w/ Blaster - 47
5 Kabalite Warriors w/ Blaster - 47
3 Lhamaeans - 45
5 Mandrakes - 80
- Ravager w/ 3x Disintegrator - 125
- Ravager w/ 3x Disintegrator - 125
- Razorwing Jetfighter w/ 2x Disintegrator, Splinter Rifle - 135
- Venom w/ Splinter Rifle - 65
- Venom w/ Splinter Rifle - 65
- Venom w/ Splinter Rifle - 65
- Venom w/ Splinter Rifle - 65
- Venom w/ Splinter Rifle - 65
- Raider w/ Disintegrator - 80

2000pts (12CP)

Warriors will go in the Raider and 4 of the Venoms. The 2 Flayed Skull Archons will likely go in the last Venom with the Lhamaeans. Mandrakes and Reavers will be used to set up teleportation spots for the Yncarne (hopefully doing some damage in the meantime). Warlord Archon has several options, depending on what I'm up against. He could stay with the Ravagers, he run on foot and snipe with his Blaster or he could take the place of one of the Archons in the Lhamaean Venom and get stuck in with his Hungering Blade. Rest of the list is pretty standard stuff.

Thoughts?

You're so close to that battalion being a brigade. I suggest moving the Reavers over ... oh, wait. Lhamaeans don't fill a slot, do they? Ah, well. That said, it's overall venom-spam goodness, plus the Yncarne.

Otherwsie, I'd give Huskblades to all the archons, and a blast pistol here or there, for the in combat pistol-snipe-chracter exploit. Since archons, once in h2h, are best suited to killing enemy HQs.

Um. So, why the Lhamaeans?

Yeah. And if I use Ynnari then I can't even take Mandrakes to fill Elite slots.

Okay. I'll maybe swap out some of the Warrior Blasters for Shredders to get enough points for that.

Well, a few reasons:
- They're tied with Ur-Ghuls as the cheapest members of the Court.
- They inflict Mortal Wounds on a 4+ in melee.
- The Court is the only unit that can be taken with fewer than 5 members (allowing it to accompany a couple of Archons in a Venom). I don't want to take Archons alone in a Venom as if it crashes there's a 1/6 chance of each of them dying outright.
