I chose dark lances on the scourge because I want the option to be able to hang back if required and to feel like less of a suicide squad. Plus of near the black heart archon they will reroll 1s to hit and wound which is pretty nice.

Thats an interesting list. I would like to know how well it does.

Scourge do not have a Kabal keyword so they would not be affected by rerolls on 1 to hit and wound.

Yeah especially because of that don't bother with dark lances, far better to deep strike in blaster scourges for a guaranteed round of shooting, plus with fire&fade you can keep deep striking scourges a good distance away from their target after shooting.

Scourge don't benefit from the obsession. .
But are they are say a kabal of the black heart unit being from that detachment? I am probably just being special at the moment. I hear a few beers can do that to a man

Fire and Fade is not an obsession, it's a stratagem.

Still, even though you take a -1 to hit when you deep strike, you can land that much farther from the enemy, thus saving you the CP (of which you don't have that many).

Only 3 points extra per model. Worth a try, anyway.

Iove fire and fade. So good!
And yeah I am giving dark lances to scourges. I would rather keep them safe and shooting for more than a turn or 2  and have those lances xo work all game.

And yeah I don't want to have to use any unnecessary CPs.

If have a list with 10, but theist doesn't quite to what I want. The wych outrider turns into a battalion detachment. I lose the big bike unit. Well is turns into a unit of 3. No scourges and that all changes into 3x5wyches w/ agoniser, shardnet and blast pistol. Plus the extra succubus and raider

I still disagree, dark lances feel like you're putting an unnecessary handicap on deep striking scourges by making them hit on 4s instead of 3s. It's only 4 shots, every point of bs counts. And often if your opponent wants those scourges  dead the extra range won't always help them. Yes you have to spend a cp for fire&fade, but it's not something you'll have to use every time and it's useful for say, getting your scourges from the top of a building where they have good LoS to down behind it where they will be more hidden.

If you just already have them assembled with dark lances though I understand wanting to keep them with those.

Unless you are really set on the drive-over strat (and it is awesome), I would consider 3 units of 6 reavers after you've played the list for awhile. I would also go with blasters and grav talons.

The plan is for the drive over strat. Otherwise I would for sure run more msu bikes. Which I might end up doing anyways.

That is my train of thought as well.
