| It may not be ideal, but after deal searching I've hoarded almost 2k points this month to get into my local tournaments! This is what I have now:
Archon Homunculus Talos Cronos 10 mandeakes (old) 10 wracks 20 kabalites 10 oop warriors (trueborn) 8 oop wyches (bloodbrides) 9 reavers 10 hellions 3 raiders Waiting on a Voidraven, lelith, and incubi box to come in when theu restock. Its been an awesome ebay splurge week! | |

| Neat, I guess...
Options in the HQ department don't hurt. Though I question whether you'll even use the Archon (if it's the new one; don't use the boxed head! It's a potato-faced trap! Replace it with a Mirrorhelm (Wyches, Reavers and any vehicle kit tend to have them) or a leftover Kabalite/ Scourge Helmet if you want it to look respectable.)
Incubi are fun* to model, good luck with the trophy racks.
List looks pretty decent. What's the special Weapons roster at on the Kabs, Wyches and Wracks?
Have you discovered the glory of bitz boxes yet?
* Fun is to be measured in context of Dwarf Fortress.

| 'Bitz box' is a term used by modelers to refer to the box they keep all their spare bits in. (Plus assorted bric a brac that might make good conversion pieces.)
It CAN be a good place to get more blasters, though. If you have any Dark Lances, you can always slice the barrel off (magnetize it if you need the DL as an option) and voila: you have a fat-snouted 'blunderblaster.' | |

| Oh. My. God. This is an excellent idea. Just squeezed one more blaster out of my kabalite box! I can probably snip up the shredder to make one too. Does anyone EVER use shredders? | |

| I know of one person who swears by them but the general consensus on shredders is meh. | |

| I did in 7th... after I had already used the bitz to make blasters and dark lances (shredder ammo clip is an excellent scope). that took a lot of scrounging.. on trueborn. I wouldn't harvest your spares until there is a codex tho. | |

The kabalites have a blaster and dark lance per 10, the witches i havent decided and since they are the old metal models ill have to see what they equate to or what counts as ill be doing. The wracks are in thr mail and ill have to see when they get here lol. All raiders have a DL. The reavers have heat lance per 3 and gravs. | |
