3 Grotesques plus Aberration w/ Scissorhand, Raider w/ Dark Lance, Aethersails
Haemonculus w/ Scissorhands, Sindriq's Sump

The Haemonculi each join one of the Grotesque squads.

I wasn't sure which Haemonculus to use as my Warlord. I'm thinking the one from the Grotesquerie, but I'm uncertain. Any thoughts on this?

Also, any advice or suggestions about the list in general?

Think you are missing a bit on AT. Blasters can be used from T2, you only have 1 lance (as grots raiders will probably turbo boost) and 4 hwb on T1.

I would say that depends on the mission, really. It's not a bad choice though.

I agree with the earlier note about anti-tank. The one that really sticks out to me is the Gunboat. You have four Venoms and two Grot squads and you're telling me you need some more anti-infantry? If it were me I'd probably shave that Raider down to 5 and take a Blaster on it, and then shave the Aether sails and try to work in +1 Grot to each Grotesquerie. Heck, as another thought I may just try to work in a few Ravagers, quite frankly. I actually think sacking the Trueborn for Ravagers would treat you pretty well, really.

I hadn't actually thought about it like that.

If I add any more grotesques, then I won't be able to fit the haemonculi in with them (which, among other things, means they're Fearless from turn 1).

Would it not be better to drop the gunboat for a Ravager?

I read your listing as 3 man squads with the Abberattion upgrade because 10 man Tac squads with Sarges are not written as 9 man with a Sarge.
If it is a 4 man squad with an Abberation upgrade then I am more supportive of the current build.

That is an acceptable choice. Yes.

Sorry, I should have written it more clearly.

Yeah, they're 4-man Grotesque squads, including the Aberrations.
