This comes to 1493 pts. It's for a team tournament game that uses a form of Composition Points set, where units and vehicles give a set amount of penalty points based on their effectiveness and points cost. Vehicles give additional penalty points the more vehicle units you take.

I'd agree with Tordeck, you could do with some Agonizers in your Wych squads. I use an Anti-inf Trueborn squad like you, they work great with the Baron!

Have you considered Reavers instead of Scourges?
They are able to withdraw after shooting at short range and they benefit from combat drugs too.
They are, however, a bit more expensive.

I agree that agonizers would be more effective, however, so does the composition penalty lists. Same goes for reavers compared to Scourges. I really need the scourges to bring my penalty points up. Going carbines instead of Cannons is an interesting though, admitedly, and would save me 10 points, aswell as 2 penalty points. I think I'll go for it. I'm also considering shaving off some wyches to afford a sixth scourge in each squad, wich'll save me another 3 penalty points.

Now this is confusing... You want us to comment on your list, yet there is this unkown "penalty points" that changes the whole base of your setup. To us Agonsers are needed, as you have no way to deal with MEQ, yet you say it will hurt you. But I digress.

Reavers are better at using Heat Lances, Scourges have to be too close to use their heat lances and will be charged. If you want to stick with the Scourges, use Haywire Blasters, if not, use Reavers instead.

Drop the Gauntlets, they need to roll a 5 or 6 to get more than their points of wyches out of them. Use those points to get an Agonser.

I think the cannons are fine, as you do get 1 more shot and longer range. Also if you get a chance to put them into cover somewhere, or remain stantionary, you get 3 more shots
