Repeat this times three. Leaves 35 points left over, for what, I do not know. Could squeeze in two more Hellions to one squad? I dunno.

First attempt at a Wych Cult list-and I have NO IDEA what loadouts to give the Succubi. But, basically everything in the list is S5 or better, with AP, so... Good?

Would like to know peoples thoughts as I have almost enough models to cover this list Love me some venoms!

Well, spamming is generally a good idea.
But in your list, I'd add a bit more variety
as you want to battle the enemy at all thread ranges.

It's an exceptionally simple list setup, I don't think necessarily a bad one but I don't know if I'd go for cursed blade.

Test of Skill+Precision Blows custom trait gives you +1 to wound vs vehicles and mosnters in melee and Blade Artists on a 5+ rather than a 6 to wound, and I would most likely go for rolling 2 drugs on your wyches and hellions (you always want to pick attack drugs on your succubi, because +strength +BS/LD and +WS are all mostly useless on a succubus, but hellions and wyches can all generally make use of any combination of 2, even if you get one of the whammies like +BS/+LD on wyches)

I do think it's a litlte bit one note. If you've already got the models for it it's fine, but, idk. No reavers or flyers for a bit of dedicated antitank?

ShardNet & Impalers in the wych units. They are not the tarpit that they were last book, but still helpful for a great game mechanic of holding onto an enemy in h2h.

Can’t do that. Minimum unit to get a special weapon is 10.

OFFS. That's an acronym, "Oh, for Fudge's Sake".

JNAP - nice catch. A good thing that Raider capacity was upped to allow a Succubus with a full 10 squad, but man, this codex is more brutal on GW's Push-Pull rule changes than most edition changes I can think of. Still, it's better than the 6e book, yes?

Tbf, the practice of 2x5 in a raider is probably something gw wants to curb now that overwatch isnt a deterrent. The thing that annoys me is the "one of each weapon" thing - it's just fething irritating to resolve it.

Consequence of writing the rules accordingly to what's in the box. Nonsense, but at least it's not applied to every kit GW produces (look at you, Scourges).

Well, it depends if you want the Succubus to do something specific, or to just be a small force multiplier. Because as it is you're still just getting the re-roll bubble.
Perhaps taking the Razerflails, because the Shardnet Impailer is just too unreliable especially with the Str user statistic. While you'll get more attacks standard from the Razerflails, or you could just take the Blast Pistol and be done with it.

Drukhari have alwasy been a mixed bag for me. I've always enjoyed their long range firepower, with using their transports to keep their numbers alive.

I think overall you're severely lacking in anti-tank firepower. Yes you can tie up tanks in CC, but they'll very easily just wipe you out in shooting.

If you want to stay Wych-ish, perhaps a unit of Scourges or two can help with that.

Perhaps using raiders over Venoms and then maxing out your wytches squads to get more bonus weapons. At least then your raiders each have a dark lance shot and they are only 85 pts.
