ok so I am getting ready for a 1k tournament. trying to get this list dialed in. I think this is about where I am at. A 3rd raider would be nice. and I don't think I can upgrade the Archon without losing a Succubus. would be nice. but I need to stay competitive. I will be facing Daemons monster mash, Salamanders, Guard, and sister for sure. advice needed!

++ Roster Rules ++

Poisoned Weapon: Many Drukhari weapons have the Poisoned Weapon ability. Such a weapon will have an ability that reads 'Poisoned Weapon' and then a value, such as (4+) or (2+). Each time an attack is made with a poisoned weapon against a unti (excluding VEHICLE or TITANIC units), an unmodified wound roll of this value is always successful.

++ Selection Rules ++

Blade Artists: Each time a model in this unit makes an attack with a melee weapon, on an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.

Objective Secured: A player controls an objective marker if they have any models with this ability within range of that objective marker, even if there are more enemy models within range of that objective marker. If an enemy model within range of an objective marker also has this ability (or a similar ability), then the objective marker is controlled by the player who has the most models within range of that objective marker as normal.

Power From Pain: Battle Round 1+ - Inured to Suffering: Models in this unit have a 6+ invulnerable save.
Battle Round 2+ - Eager to Flay: This unit is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which they Advanced.
Battle Round 3+ - Flensing Fury: Each time a model in this unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to that attack's hit roll. If this unit has the VEHICLE or MONSTER keyword, it does not suffer the penalty incurred to its hit rolls for firing Heavy weapons at enemy units that are within Engagement Range of it.
Battle Round 4+ - Mantle of Agony: Models in this unit have a 5+ invulnerable save.
Battle Round 5+ - Emboldened by Bloodshed: Each time a Morale test is taken for this unit, it is automatically passed. If this unit's characteristics can change as it suffers damage, this unit is considered to have double the number of wounds remaining for the purposes of determining what those characteristics

The big question is how you will you deliver all the Wych cult stuff to the enemy? There is also a lack of anti-big stuff shooting; 3 dark lance and 2 blasters as the only ranged threat, especially against the daemon monster mash list or if the guard army brings a load of tanks, might leave you in a spot of bother. I'd also definitely lose the power swords on the Wych sgts, especially on the big blog which can take the Wych specific special weapons, and the upgrades on the raiders.

Like poster Foisty said, you're going to need more transports. Either the incubi will get smoked on the ground or the wyches will.

Question, though: Will the tourney games be played on the full 60"x44" ? If yes, then you definitely need another boat. The mandrakes can be exchanged for points. Then again, the TO might cut the playing fields in half.

If you're going to pay for a hekatrix's power sword, I suggest to make it an agonizer instead. , but overall, just give your girls extra S combat drugs, have the hekatrix get in her 5 attacks with a blade and spend the points on a venom for Incubi or raider.

Posting suggestion: Copy paste from BattleScribe is unwieldy to read. And there's no need to publish the rules for combat drugs, ObSec, etc.
Try:
Archon - power sword, warlord: Splintered Genius, Relic: Helm of Spite
Trueborn - x10, 2 blasters, 1 DL

And such.

Ancient Evil might be a better warlord trait than Splintered Genius. The Archon isn't the bad-ass that Draz is, so him fighting a 2nd time is okay, but guaranteeing an enemy fights last, with no roll, just declaring it ...

Splintered Genius is the master Archon upgrade; the baseline WLT is on the flail Succubus.

But yes, transport/delivery solutions plus a plan for hard targets would be the things that stick out to me.

Right.

I hate getting used to a new book (he says 9 or 10 months later) ....
