So I'm relatively new to the game, having a total of maybe ten games under my belt so far at a local shop. I've spent the last few months putting together this 1500 pt list (actual total is 1503) and it seems to have preformed pretty well but I'm looking to expand on what I've currently got. Looking for advice as to what would complement the existing list as well as options to sub out for current units.

The majority of my games seem to have come against generally shooty armies consisting of tau, space wolves, dark angels and eldar.

The more potent piece to the list seems to be the Incubi/Haemonculus squad which more often than not takes down larger chunks of opponents forces than it should. Might just have to do with my opponents taking very few vehicles though, aside from the eldar player. My kabalites are here and there, the original reason I took them was for objective holding but with the advent of the 7th edition rules I'm not sure if three full squads at 1500 is the right move. I usually try to use two squads in tandem while the third provides some support for my incubi squad. Reavers have worked wonders on grabbing objectives in maelstrom missions as well as popping enemy armor and harassing units before they're finished off by kabalites. Really can't complain too much about these guys in general. Ravagers are pretty much there as anti tank support and the razorwing is pretty much a necessity considering most of my games have inlcuded at least one enemy aircraft.

My next goal is to bump the army up to 1750 pts and I've been considering a second full squad of reavers or a small beast squad consisting of primarily khymerae to tie up some units on the field. Completely open to suggestions however.

Hi and welcome.

First of all I'd drop the Animus Vitae form your 1500pts list because you should really stick to the points limit and not go over. It's just a courtesy to your opponent.

As for moving up in points, I wouldn't change what currently works for you, I'd be looking to add to that. So the best thing to do is try out the new units you intend to use, like Reavers, Beasts and see how they function with your playstyle

In my opinion, I'd bump up/change over your HQ to make it fit your theme. Either start throwing in Wracks for troops, or swap out the Hermie for an Archon to escort those units that will be enjoying more CC fun.
