The minimum squad size for kabalite warriors is 5. You have 2 squads of 4. Furthermore, 300 points of HQs is a lot in a 1500 point game, especially when 1 of the two is only there for CC. You could lose the archon and still have the CC incubi unit be just about as effective.

That would free up enough points to make your warrior squads legally sized, and throw in a group of 3 blasterborn in a dual cannon venom to take advantage of the Duke's low orbit raid.

The raider with warriors has 10 people, drop the sybarite, since the duke will be there for leadership already, also if you have leadership issues I would vote for grim trophies instead as they are better then +1 LD and can help any nearby units as well.

Unless you are deep striking the raider with incubi you might want to fit a third raider somewhere in your list, as being 1/3 your points at the moment that thing will be a fire magnet and once its gone the incubi will be out of the fight for awhile. (losing the only transport for my "death-star" unit has been a bane for me)

If you are not fighting a lot of anti-tank ignores cover i would suggest dropping the FF on the raiders, generally you will want to jink with them anyway. (Keep them on the ravagers imo those things cannot afford to jink)

What is the role of the razorwing, while having missiles and dark lances is nice for just general killy purposes If your thinking anti tank I would change it up for shatterfield missiles so side armor or low AV vehicals can be better addressed. If its in a more anti-infantry role, switch the dark lances to disintegrator cannons, you actually only lose a little power against AV 10 vehicle or flyers doing that as well (slightly higher chance to glance, slightly lower chance to pen)

I got so used to taking one out of my raider, that I spaced the min 5. My original was to put my HQ's in them. I do like the idea of deep striking the incubi, will go with that. My razorwing I wanted it as my general back up, of what ever went wrong. I want it to do what ever I need it to do in a pinch. So my updated list looks like this.

HQ
Duke 125pt

Elites
incubi 340pts
x9 incubi, x1 Klavex (bloodstone, demiklaives, murderous assault)
Raider

Trueborn 185pts
x5 Trueborn (x2 dark lance, haywire grenades, x3 splinter rifles)
Venom (FF, Splinter Cannon)

Troops
x5 warriors 134pts
(x1 blaster)
venom (FF, splinter cannon)

x5 warriors 134pts
(x1 blaster)
venom (FF, Splinter cannon)

x9 Warriors 151pts
Raider (dark lance, splinter racks)

Heavy
x2 Ravager 230pts
(x3 Darklance, FF)

Razerwing 175pts
(x2 Dark lance, TL Splinter rifle, FF, x2 Necro missiles, x2 Shatterfield missiles

Check the points on the 5x warriors, with blaster, in venom, I think it should be lower (codex not on me right this second).

I am not sure what your plan is with the trueborn but if you keep them in the venom and move it remember that you can only snapfire, if your planning to be mobile you can switch those to blasters, also you might be able to fit in another blaster for the same cost.

I agree with this. You can swap out the 2 dark lances and 1 trueborn, making it a squad of 4, and be able to arm each one of them with blasters. In total, it would cost you 2 points less than what you're currently paying, and make them pack double the punch.
