So the reason I have the Shadow Spectres in there are 1) they are great looking models, 2) they have Haywire Grenades standard, 3) Their guns are fairly nasty, dualmode S4 AP4 blasts or S6AP3 lances that can combine fire sorta like a prism cannon 4) Oh and they are Jet Packs and have Battle focus

Archon Probably will drop with the Scourges, because I feel the Shadow Spectre will be the biggest target unit, Succubus will go with them instead. Hopefully between the Spectres and the Scourges I can drop 2-3 tanks on the drop (Did I mention Irilltyh has split fire?) The Reavers can be my big assault unit, and hopefully the Warriors and Dire Avengers in their transports can secure any needed objectives along with the Windriders.

I am unsure whether to run CAD or the Raiders Detachment, since most of my units I would like to reserve I feel like the cover save turn 1 would be wasted and I would be better off with objective secured on the raiders/warriors to go with the Eldar Troops

Oh and Parasite's Kiss was because I had 5 pts left over with no where good so I figured a 2+ poison pistol would be a good use rather than leaving them unspent

If you're already taking spectres I'd strongly advise you look at armour of misery and phantasm/torment launchers - the exarch power shadow of death is made to work with them!

I suppose dropping the Arena Champion and Agoniser from the Reavers would free up those points and then dropping the Parasite's kiss gives me 10 points to play with, maybe a Shuriken Cannon for the Windriders? Or I could upgrade the Raiders to Dark Lances?

By adding the PGL it looks like I would need to switch the Archon and Succubus and which groups they bring in because if I understand the armory right Succubi cannot take PGLs any more so the Archon would have to take it. (this way I suppose I can also LoS some saves to the Phoenix Lord 2+ armor rather than trying to take them on the shadowfield for that 1st turn anyways)

Any thoughts on which detachment to go with? I am leaning towards a CAD but I am not 100%
