wanting to see what you guys think of the list. for me it looks fairly fun to play and rather cool to try in 8th.

Looks good! Although, I'm curious. Is the Succubus in a separate raider than the wyches? If so, I would suggest dropping 1 wych so the succubus could fit with them, and since you aren't utilizing 3 hydras with 10 wyches, I'd say you wouldn't be losing much.

Looks nice, just a couple of fixes:

- Two cronos are too many, take a second talos instead, and give them splinter cannons and macro scalpels.

- The wyches unit needs a hekatrix with blast pistol and agoniser, she's the only valuable thing in the unit, don't skip her. Even better if you bring 2x5 with 2 hekatrix in the same raider but you'd need to spare some points.

- A standard haemonculus with electrocorrosive whip is better than urien and cheaper.


I'd suggest these changings, the succubus can even walks on foot if you give her the drug that boosts movement. She'll have 10M while the raiders are 14M, still in range to support the wyches.

The cronos i was thinking i can try keep the wounds up on the pair with killing something and grabbing a wound back. I suppose with just the one wound each time its a bit slow but i see the use with Urien since he can re roll failed saves for S9 or below, try deny warlord with gaining the lost ones back?

But i like the re rolling wounds which i think would help out alot with the wyches and the wracks, but the changes sound smart so ill give it ago. Cheers.

Also yeah the succubus is in a raider separate or walking.

Its a fluffy list.
Our local DE players fields nothing but Trueborn in Raiders and Venoms. Seems to be the most effective list (with low CP) out there atm.

It's a rock-paper-scissor list. Against hordes he's never gonna win with that many blasters/lances and no real anti infantries tools. Orks, AM and tyranids hordes are quite common, a list with lots of trueborn is not particularly competitive, it's tailored around that specific meta.

I've tried mass kabal, in vemons and raiders with ravagers and all that. works well but i'm looking for somthing not ultra competitive hence why i've gone for the homoculus covern.
I find the tornement scene to be boring and bland in terms of lists

2 units of scourges with heat lances i find work the best as a suicide unit to kill any tank/vehicle, 2 units have gotten a stompa from 40 wounds down to 17 wounds. But i have taken out the second cronos to put in some more reavers.
