The following 1500 point list is one I'm playing around with in my group, and I was wondering if I could get any advice on what might be a good way to progess it to 1750, and to 2000 points? Really grateful for any input/observations/criticisms.

Thanks for that. I'd like to increase the Coven component of the list. Do I need to try and make a second Battalion, or am I ok with just adding to the Spearhead?

A second battalion (troops) would certainly be helpful in objective based missions.
But another specialized detachment would also suffice.

If you are going this route, and if you stay spearhead instead of battalion, think about dark technomancers + experimantal creations. You lose two of the key benefits of Profits, recycling wrack units and no urien for +1 str in your current setup.

With DT+ EC, you get +1 strength on all you monsters and haemonculus you also get get +1 to wound on all whip attacks on units with < 5 toughness. All your raged weapons get miles better in fact the math shows Cronos can do some work is this setup.

So this might be fun. I had to cut a some equipment and the Lhamean but you gained a Haemonculus. The other trade off is lots more killy power for reduced toughness.
