2500 on the dot

the baron starts joined to the wraks and a hem starts joined to the hellions they switch first turn so the hellions have 2 pain tokens right away. the other hem start off with the wytches.

Thoughts ?

Fine - though I'm emotionally against naked Haems. Really - 3 pain tokens is worth 150 and 3 KPs that aren't helping you do anything else?

Fine, though I wonder what the trophies are for.

What is the purpose of the Helliarch if you aren't giving him any weapon upgrades? The Baron is there for Ld up until they assault stuff, I guess the 9 is nice, but if you're worried about assault after losing the Baron, probably your negative penalties are going to drive you into the ground anyway. Even just sacking those Trophies would net you an Agoniser here - and considering the Baron and Hellions have no way to deal with Armor, that might be nice. If you want to stick with your strength benefit from FC you could still go with a Venom Blade for a nice upgrade.

I say this a lot; 2 units of 3 RJBs is superior to 1 of 6. In everything RJBs do, this is true, and it helps them survive better as well. I'd strongly advise splitting the squad.

Ravalicious.

Are you expecting to need that much anti-infantry? With 6 Venoms, 20 Hellions, and a squad of Wyches I would tend to think you'd be covered already. I'd tend to support another Ravager here over the Razorwing - I'd support the Razorwing if you wanted to take some more Raiders - I don't support the current mix. A Ravager would save you enough points to easily help the Haems actually do something towards helping you win.

I've had some debates with another poster on this site about this sort of thing. I'm not sure I really support bringing 100 points for the sheer purpose of trying to make Hellions any good whatsoever. I tend to believe Beasts are superior at killing infantry and vehicles, require less babysitting, and are cheaper. Just throwing it out there.

My thoughts, hope it helps,
Thor.
