He this is two of my lists for 1000pts tell me which is better and how to improve it
Btw I know trueborn are better than scrouges but I love the modles so much I don't care
I normally play against GK, nids and IG
Tactics are self explanatory for both I think

What both lists lack is focus. Are you in melee or shooting? Furthermore how are you going to deal with getting locked in combat by a monstrous creature with T7? Just going to hope that your S5 klaivex gets the job done? What about a dreadnought in CC? AV12 will mock your S5.

I guess between the two I'd take the first list.

you would get more bang for your buck if you picked a troop selection and went with it. at 1000 pts you dont really need anything special, but you will need to deal with dreads, maybe a pred or 2, and possibly a LR, although thats kinda a gamble taking one of those at 1k. anyway, heres a suggestion:

haemonculus w/ liquifier gun, venom blade = 65

4 incubi
venom w/ 2 sc =65

4 blaster born w/ venom, 2 SC =173

5 warriors, blaster, venom w/ dual SC = 125
5 warriors " " = 125
5 warriors " " = 125

ravager 3 lances. FF = 115
ravager 3 lances FF = 115

the haemonculus goes with the incubi. hes dirt cheap, but has 2+ poison attacks, and a decent flamer. his 4 incubi buddies should be able to muck anything MEQ or worse, and do ok vrs termies. (provided they arent the TH/SS varity - but should'nt see much of those at 1k i *think*) the real bonus is the venom. the 3 warrior squads add much needed troops, and target saturation, while providing even more splinter fire. plus they pack a blaster for tank busting or sniping infantry. the blasterborn are more for sniping at hev infantry like termies, and helping in shooting down tanks... and the ravagers are pretty self explanitory.

i would avoid charging in with your haemy and incubi. they are good in CC but not very durable, since they lack invuns. only charge them in if you need to force something off an objective, and have already dinged up the target with splinter/blaster fire first.

the strength of the list is the 5 venoms, 7 blasters and 6 lances. and with 7 vehicles on table your opponent should have a tough time taking them all down. you could always swap warriors for 5 man wych teams. dont worry about upgrades really on those, and you can do the same thing. might even fit some more in, since your saving the 45pts on blasters. maybe grab some power weapons or upgrade your haemey to have an agonizer or something.
