Looking for some feedback on a re-jigged list since the points update. The rough strst is use the wych detachment as a refused flank, with the incubi coming in as a second of combat and the kabalists blasting stuff with their blasters, or objective monkeying.
Any pointers for both deployment or particularly good secondaries are also greatly appreciated.

Any Grisly Trophies ought to go on raider with its bigger foot print.

Why Cursed Blade over say, Strife? I was a die-hard fan of Cursed Blade for 8e & the beginning of 9e, but Swing-First girls is very good. The Dark Toxin warlord-girl punches even higher above her weight than the Tryptich Succubus.

Otherwise, it looks like a really good solid chop to the throat.

I hadn't thought of the size of the raider vs the venom, that's a great suggestion!

I chose cursed blade almost entirely on the +1S - wounding MEQ on 4s with the option to take Adrenalight or another drug seems far more efficient. I'll definitely look into the Dark Toxin succubus though, though the triptych girl seems crazy good.

I think I've got it close:
Tryp Succubus swings 9 times, hitting 8. She'll produce about 7 wounds, killing about 6 MEqPrimaris, without TransHuman.

The RazorFlail Dark Toxin Succubus swings 12 times, with S4 combat drug, dealing 4 MW right away for the likely pair of when rolling 12 dice. There will be two misses, so roll the other 8 dice to wound, netting 4 wounds on MEqP, which likely kills 'em all. It's a tie between girls, with 6 dead primaris each.

If you give her the extra attack, she'll swing 14 times, but the balance on S3 lowers the wound rate unless you gamble on rolling 2 dice for combat drugs.

Her overall draw is the MW being dealt on the to hit rolls, which makes her a good character assassin, those MW getting passed Invulns.

Why choose? I run both.
