I am new to WH40k and bought a large starter army.

There is a sale lasting until monday and i wanna spend some money.

Can you help me making my army better with the new codex in mind? Thanks aLOT

I have:

20 Wyches
2 Succubi
12 Reaver jetbikes
2 Raiders
2 Venom

And i bought a single pack of Wracks (5 units)

What should i focus on getting? I sense i am lacking anti-tank/flying.

Love you guys!

Do you like the Cult army style?

Adding some shooting units would help you a lot, some Ravagers or Razorwing Jetfighters would help. Ravagers tho are not Cult but Kabal only where the RWJF is Cult.

If you want more Coven that is fine That is more Melee tho and it is a "different" melee type not fast and heavy hitting vs, fast and large attacks. You can do a 1-2 punch army, Turn 1-2 tie up and kill some things, turn 2-2 get heavy hitting units in melee.


IMO tho i think you need shooting for Anti-Tank, Scourges is another option, 2 Boxes so you can have 2 units 1 of Blaster (always good) and maybe 1 with HWB (more for heavy tanks and ones with Invuls)

Yeah, anti tank is needed. Solid choices would be ravagers, razorwing fighters/voidraven or scourge.

As you're going to Wych cults (with what you already have), I'd suggest to take a 3rd 10 woman wyches unit and 1 raider for a Battalion.
And then focus on antitank, depending on what you want to put on the table:
-Vehicles: Ravagers (Then Black Heart is the go to kabal), with an Archon. It will be your Spearhead.
-Infantry: Scourges with Haywire (they won't cause a problem to your wych cult obsession)

I havent determined a style yet. Do i get advantages by picking Cult?

RWJF sounds awesome! i love that unit, but will it be efficient with my group?

Scourges or a Ravager with Archon sounds solid aswell. For more wyches, i'd rather pick something else.

Okay so to choose from these:

RWJF
Scourges
Ravager + Archon

Hard decision since i havent played my army yet. Wont the RWFJ and Ravager be too easy targets?

You will get what's called a "drukhari obsession" for having pure cult in the detachment. So they could all have +1 str and only ever lose 1 person to morale or be able to advance and charge. The second one is BRILLIANT for reaver jetbikes >)

The ravager you can deep strike reserve now with the screaming jets strategm. As it's done before the game begins, you can do it as many times as you like. it costs 1 cp to do and works on drukhari vehicles that can fly. so can do on ravagers and/or the razorwing jetfighters!

Did you get those Wracks? If so you probably want a Haemonculus to make a Patrol detachment.
