I'm neutral on the piracy - because GW is dumb enough to make comments about how they're not a game company, but a model company, which makes me wonder why they try to sell the rules
That said, I encourage buying the codex as you are able - it makes life easier.

For 1000 point games this is a silly overpowered unit. Onslaught will barely help you with only 5 Incubi, Murderous Assault is kind of a 'meh' upgrade, and I think Aethersails are really not needed. I'd probably trim back to 3-4 Incubi (personally - I wouldn't run Incubi in 1000 point games, as I think they're too strong.

You *really* don't need that Sybarite. He is just sucking up points and not giving you anything worthwhile. Again - no real point to the Sails here.

Splinter racks on a Wych Raider? Are you going to be doing much shooting from inside your Raider with Wyches? I'd drop that in a heartbeat - it's really starting to feel like you have a 750 point force, and are fielding a 1000 point list. A lot of these upgrades aren't helping you do what the units are about, they're just there absorbing points.

I like this fine.
Mostly my advice is, too many fluff upgrades that are overall weakening your force by making it more expensive, but not making it any better. If you're just trying to pad up to play a friend at 1000 you're setting yourself up for trouble unless he is doing the same thing. If he has a functional army at 1000, maybe you should talk about playing a smaller battle until you get more stuff, he ought to be able to scale down better than you can scale up.
