ok so i am currently in a escalation tournament , where we started at 400pts then went to 800pts last week. I am asking for your opinions on what to do next , not on what i have done already. I am going for a CC army with the ability to shoot if needed (from warriors and wyches and bloodbrides) , but mainly CC

Also i guess i should mention there is 3 orc players 2-3 IG players 1 GK, 1 space wolves, 1 red guard i thinnk its called , a chaos marine, and a blood angels i believe. for this may help a bit?

the rules are simple:

once a model has been played there is no changing it at all or removing it. You can UPGRADE but nothing further.
round 1 (400) was only HQ, troops, and dedicated transports
round 2 (800) brings in FA units
round 3 (1200) brings in heavy units
round 4 (1500) is anything goes (still need to follow rules on army builds though)

last rule is everyone had to start a new army to keep it fair accross the table ( luckily i just started in the 400pt time )

In making my first 400pts i messed up by making them have alot of upgrades that i am finding now to be useless,for i never use them.

In the 800pts i managed to fix a bit of the problems and finally doing what DE are good at and moving around the table

currently i am running

HQ
Haemy (w/ liquifier) 60pts

Elite
Bloodbrides X 8 (w/ gauntlets razorflail, syren with only agonizer , and granades for all) in a raider ( w/ flicker) 240pts

Troops
WarriorsX 10 (w/ blaster dark lance, syberite w/ agonizer and blast pistol) in a raider (w/ flicker) 245pts
Wyches x 10 (w/ shardnet razorflail, hekatrix w/ agonixer and blast pistol, all with granades) in a raider (w/ flicker) 255pts


Note: the troops i had for the 400 pt game minus the raiders so they are stuck and i cannot change them at all! (which sucks balls) Also haemy is deployed with the bloodbrides to give them FNP



Now for the part that i need help with (finally eh?)

my 1200pt list is as follows:

HQ
Haemy (w/ liquifier) 60pts

Elite
Bloodbrides X 8 (w/ gauntlets razorflail, syren with only agonizer , and granades for all) in a raider ( w/ flicker) 240pts
Incubi x5 in a venom (w/ spiliter cannon) 175pts

Troops
WarriorsX 10 (w/ blaster dark lance, syberite w/ agonizer and blast pistol) in a raider (w/ flicker) 245pts
Wyches x 10 (w/ shardnet razorflail, hekatrix w/ agonixer and blast pistol, all with granades) in a raider (w/ flicker) 255pts

Fast Attack
Reaver Jetbikes x3 66pts

Heavy
Ravager (w/ flicker) 115pts

which amounts to 1156pts / 1200pts

note all bold is what i want to add to the list


for the 1500pt list:

HQ
Haemy (w/ liquifier) 60pts

Elite
Bloodbrides X 8 (w/ gauntlets razorflail, syren with only agonizer , and granades for all) in a raider ( w/ flicker) 240pts
Incubi x5 in a venom (w/ spiliter cannon) 175pts

Troops
WarriorsX 10 (w/ blaster dark lance, syberite w/ agonizer and blast pistol) in a raider (w/ flicker) 245pts
Wyches x 10 (w/ shardnet razorflail, hekatrix w/ agonixer and blast pistol, all with granades) in a raider (w/ flicker) 255pts

Fast Attack
Reaver Jetbikes x3 66pts
Reaver jetbikes x3 66pts

Heavy
Ravager (w/ flicker) 115pts
razorwing fighter (w/ flicker and splinter cannon) 165pts
talos pain engine (w/ chainflails) 110pts

which will bring the total up to 1497/1500pts

Note: only the items in BOLD AND ITALICS are added at this point
