Well the overall list is pretty good though I have a few suggestions. This sort of looks like a null deploy list with the mandrakes but you don't mention that.

First is your Archon deepstriking with the incubi? If so that is one expensive unit that's all T3. Incubi can be good but in this format that unit will get wiped before it can do anything. Personally, I feel our HQs are not very good, and I don't like to put too many pts into them.

If you want an assault unit still, I would check out some of the coven formations. Those are good units for HQs to hide in.

I wouldn't bother with mandrakes unless trying a null deploy list.

The troops are fine, nothing wrong there.

Your FA slots look well equipped and should help with the meta. Maybe drop the nightshields, they're not really great for +1 cover.

I would never take a cronos unless in the dark artisan formation. Probably replace with a ravager.

Overall pretty good. I would suggest you could even double CAD instead of RSR to get obj sec against knights and flyers. Also with so many flyers you might want to invest in either a comms relay or an allied autarch so they can come in more reliably.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693661/8710754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693661/8710754.page GMT
My intention was to Deepstrike the Archon with the Incubi. The reason for the Hermoculus was to be paired near the Cronos for the 4+ FnP in his unit, also the added FnP the Cronos adds to the nearby troops with the Power from Pain that would start to affect the army.

Suggestions of HQ adjustments would be appreciated.

Not too worried about maintaining a assault squad just thought the Incubi could be heavy hitters.

As far as HQ suggestions, if you want to be competitive, then either a Lhamean as an HQ filler to save pts or check out the coven formations. Archons are very expensive and mediocre in combat. I prefer a Succubus with Archite glaive to be honest.

Incubi can work but I prefer Grotesques as an HQ bodyguard. I think incubi just get wiped too fast nowadays. I've seen minimal squads of incubi in venoms flying at the enemy as a missile unit. That's probably a good way to run them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693661/8710805.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693661/8710805.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693661/8710853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/693661/8710853.page GMT
