It's a fairly standard Drukhari "goodstuff" list, and I don't feel like it has lost much punch since the points updates. Basically I will have 1 raider with 10 wyches+succubus, 1 raider with 10 incubi+draz, 1 raider with 5 incubi+5 wyches+succubus#2 and then the final raider with 5 kabalites+5 incubi. The ravager will provide long-range anti-tank, while the reavers will be a mobile anti-tank/objective-clearing toolbox unit. Mandrakes for screening, engage on all fronts and objective capturing, and the scourges will either be anti-horde or another mobile unit that can capture objectives. The hellions round out the list by doing what they do best.

Would love to hear C&C. I think the one thing I worry about is not having enough anti-tank, but maybe between the ravager, raiders and reavers it would be enough.

Looks like a good semi-competitive list.

You have all the most important stuff: Scourge and Mandrakes to score you points.

The rest is going to come down to positioning and opposing army composition. As you say, your a little light on the Anti Tank, but the Hellions using the CoS re-roll all wounds will help you on that front.

Just make sure you are being super careful about your Cult positioning (stay at least 17" away from the opponent, but not more than 20" from where they want to go), and keep an eye on your angles (dont want a Dreadknight or Thousand Sons terminator brick to teleport and get an angle on your wyches after they get De-Meched)

Good luck and have fun!
