The Arena Champion is so I can roll for Warlord Traits

I'd say those scourge units are kind of dead weight in this list and more particularly at this level. That's not to say they're hopeless, they'll be very good at killing armour, but are you really going to face much armour at this points bracket? I'd say either blasters or heat lances for them as they then retain a threat if you'r opponent brings something else - a S4 AP4 shot is not going to scare much, whereas 4 S8 AP2 or 4 S6 AP1 shots are a very different proposition. At 1850pts I bring one unit of haywire scourges, and I've never needed more than that many haywire shots even at the higher points levels (though I do bring a lot of dark lances).

Hmm Ok - would it be worthwhile keeping one unit of Haywire just in case and switching to Heat Lance for the other unit? Or replace both with Heat Lance variants (I think Blasters are a tad more expensive and if I was going to use Blasters, I think I would just use Ravagers instead which get double the range )

EDIT: I know I'm going to be facing a Baneblade in a tournament soon, would Haywire or Heat Lances be better against superheavies? Also would replacing the Ossefactors w/ Sybarites and Haywire Grenades be worthwhile, or should I make sure to get First Blood with Osses?
