total 1500pts

 

i have played a few test games and it works quite well but am not sure about the talos so any ideas would be cool.

 

I'm surprised your wytches are effective. With only 5 I would have expected a marine TAC squad to win combat against them and force leaderhip tests. An Archon leading 6 incubi is overkill but at least you hindered him with an agonizer (not an effective troop killer).

I think you should add a naked Dracon to lead the incubi and attach the Archon to your wytches, after you consolidate then into one squad of 8+Succubus.

Dracon w pblades + 6 incubi = regular troop killers

Archon w Agonizer + Wytches&Succubus w Agonizer = elite killers

 

I think you should make your list readable.

That aside, an Archon should have a punisher. S5 with drugs, S6 with animus vitae, and a tormentor helm and reroll close combat misses, is huge. He can carve through squad after squad by himself.

Why would you ever buy a sybarite without power weapon equipment, on a shootie squad? Say no to this config.

Drachites are fantastic, btw, as a second hq.

Not really sure how it is not readable but thanks for the help will try out your ideas

Ok, you seem to be going for a WWP strategy. But the idea behind WWP offensives is that something BAD comes out of them. You really don't seem to have that many bad things to dump out of the webway onto your opponent's lap. And that grotesque raider you need to deliver the WWP is sucking up needed points. I wouldn't go with the webway, it's too easy to lose the game on an opponent's lucky rolling or on some bad terrain placement with it.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think any DE army can compete with a wych cult. You should seriously consider playing a wych cult if you care at all about winning games.

EDIT: No raider mounted army competes with a wych cult that is...  If you use warriors en masse with dark lances and some reavers or mandrakes or something to harass the enemy up close, you have a semi decent army.
