Incubi Madness, 2000p

Hey. So ive been posting a couple of different lists lately that i'm about to try out. Most often i find myself investing into atleast one Webway Portal but i thought i should post something without now.

This is a list i never had the chance to try out, i am sure going to but i need to get my Harlequin Themed lists ready since they are coming out in "finecast". I just can't resist playing them then.

Anyway this is a take on a more Incubi heavy list. Some CC and some shooting, nothing fancy really but just something to change things up with.


Archon: PGL, Agoniser, Shadow field 135

6 Incubis: raider with flickerfield 202
5 Incubis: klaivex, venom with 2 SC 190
5 Incubis: klaivex, venom with 2 SC 190

10 Wyches: heka with agoniser, haywires, raider with flickerfield 220
5 Warriors: blaster, venom with 2 SC 125
5 Warriors: blaster, venom with 2 SC 125
5 Warriors: blaster, venom with 2 SC 125
5 Warriors: blaster, raider with flickerfield 130
5 Warriors: blaster, raider with flickerfield 130

Ravager: flickerfield 115
Ravager: flickerfield 115
Voidraven Bomber: 4 mono, flickerfield 195


Total: 1997


So i would probably be better of with making the Voidraven into a Razorwing and dropping one wych to add a Haemonculus for the Wyches, however i'm giving the Voidraven a shot.

Any thoughts or perhaps someone who tried a simmillar list out?

i have 20 of the new incubi in metal and have been itching to try a list like this... with Drazhar of course!

The shattershard missiles (in case I mixed up name, the Str 7 with reroll to wound) are a little better for the void raven. The void raven pays the same price for both, the razorwing has to pay to upgrade to shattershards. I have been using 2 razorwings with monoscythes and a void raven with shattershards, the shattershards are almost always better (monoscythes are very slightly ahead vs IG, eldar guardians, and dark eldar warriors/hellions without cover), not better enough to upgrade on a razorwing though.

I like seeing an incubus heavy list. Always a good time.

Ahoy.

Yeah i am very tempted to give it a go in the nearest future. I am however leaving for a 1500p team tournament tomorrow morning so it will have to wait until i am back.

Regarding monoscythes or shattershards i guess you have a point there. I mainly picked the mono's by default since it is always that i run on the razorwing, but you do have a point.

I question the point of the Voidraven in the list - the missiles are clearly marking it as a troop hunter - but that's the job of those Venoms and the Incubi, and Incubi most assuredly require only limited amounts of softening up a foe before they assault.

On the tank hunting side it's wasting its missiles and is of questionable superiority to a regular ol' Ravager.

I'd probably like to see the squads Incubi bulked up a bit. If you're going for the impact of Incubi you really want them to carry the day a bit, and also for them to be carrying the day. The two possible thoughts are to add a few more bodies into all of the squads via trimming back the VR to a Ravager and perhaps slicing out some Wyches. The other thought is to actually get a second Archon, and go with two units of Incubi, both with PGLs so that your boys can storm through cover unimpeded.

I actually like the Incubi squads, not sure about their rides. If you want to keep them in Venoms, harassing before committing, NS would seem a nice fit. My first thought for these guys would be a (Shock Prow) Raider though.

Secondly, you're low-ish on AT, and as Thor said that Voidraven isn't really helping so by all means swap it for a 3rd Rav. Considering the 'lack' of Blasterborn in your list, your Raider/Venom count may be slightly off.

Lastly, this is a minor point, between Incubi and Wyches there are quite a few candidates for Pain token boosting Haemys. The sooner Incubi get to FC the better.

Thank you for the replies.

that is some exellent points Thor. the voidraven becomes more of a gimmick in this list and I would be better if with a ravager here. Also there are things to be done here with the points. The wyches will most likely be good at keeping something nasty busy, but perhaps I can make them cheaper and see about getting a rader for another squad of incubis and a few more bodies along with a second archon.

That would make it alot more competetive. Thanks.

Im going to grabbi some sleep noel but il write down the list tomorrow on the plane.

Interesting list.

Take out the two 5 man Incubi, duplicate the 6 man and the archon.
Exchange the bomber for another Ravager.
Add 2 Incubi to each squad.
And you're left with 35 points to add 3 flickerfields to those without.

So ive made a few changes to the list.

3 x Haemonculus: liquifier guns

6 Incubis: raider, flickerfield, shock prow, torment grenade launcher
6 Incubis: raider, flickerfield, shock prow, torment grenade launcher
6 Incubis: raider, flickerfield, shock prow, torment grenade launcher

10 Wyches: haywires, hekatrix, raider with flickerfield, torment grenade, shock prow
5 Warriors: blaster, venom with 2 SC
5 Warriors: blaster, venom with 2 SC
5 Warriors: blaster, venom with 2 SC
5 Warriors: blaster, venom with 2 SC
5 Warriors: blaster, venom with 2 SC

Ravager: flickerfield
Ravager: flickerfield
Ravager: flickerfield

1996

So i dropped the Archon with the PGL. Well yeah i know i have to be more careful about what i assault with these kind of units. However with some tactics they should pick of fights that isnt to shabby. With 3+ / 4+ they can handle some when coming into combat even if they don't strike fist.

This will be the setup i'l give it a try later on.

I came to a similar list (though i dropped the prows, TGL on the 4 vehicles in favour of all raiders rather then venoms and added grisly trophies with what was left over)

How will the list play with GK?

I mean each and every squad packs weapons that strikes faster than incubi, wound them on 3+.
Even in their standart troops.I dont even start on these damnable grenades.

You cant atack neither dreads nor razors with Incubi, meaning there can be situation when you cant atack *any* squad in GK army, because you will be facing loosing battle.

5 venoms is good and well - but obviously targer priority target A+, noone in GK army will fear incubi.

I thought of some solution when you wolvepack one squad of them with 2 yours to get FC for Klaivex , so he can actually outinitiative I6 marines.

I actually think incubi heavy list may be effective when 6th edition comes and there will be directed wounds.
If it will be so - yeah , Drazhar will be god of battle with his rules , he will be able to pick any Halberds of IC.
