I haven't played since 4th edition, but I do keep up with the game.  The 8th edition codex was interesting enough that I've been looking around for gaming groups.

I put together a rough list I could work toward thats just shy of 1500 pts.  I'm hoping you guys and gals cans give me some ideas to improve the list and round it out.

I've spent about a week getting back up to date on the game and gone through the forums looking at some suggested tactics.  

A couple people have said they try to have 1 Dark Lance per 100 pts, but that number seems to include Disints and Blasters with the new dex.  I currently have 6 Lances, 6 Disints, and 4 Blasters in the list - which does meet the threshold, but I'm a little worried about how long some of those weapons will stick around.

I've also got a couple of plain suicide Reavers to lock things up on turn 1.  I'm not sure if I need 2 squads for this or not, as it may be possible to dissolve a squad and use the remaining points to put together a Hellion unit.  The Patrol is almost certain to get Red Grief, so I'm unsure if its worth it to go into Hellions or not.  Honestly kind of miffed I never got to try the 5th edition ability to run over units for attacks with them.  A strategem just isn't the same.

The HQs were kept dirt cheap, and can ride around with the Incubi to go kill things.  I'm unsure yet as to whether this is overkill or not.  One Archon may stay with the Ravagers if I opt for a BH patrol, and take advantage of his double Auras.  Incubi seem a lot less popular than when I played, so I'm unsure what happened to kill off their effectiveness.

I'm only generating 7 CPs, which I'm unsure is adequate.  The forums here are saying 8 is the minimum, but I don't see an easy way to get another CP.  I also haven't committed to my Kabal Obsessions yet.  BH seems to be the obvious choice, with good reason, but the other 3 are strong with my Kabalite Squads as well.

The list also has about 30 pts left free, but I'm not sure where the best place to invest them would be.  If you have any thoughts on the best way to use this, or ideas about the list in general, please let me know.
