I'm of the opinion that this is the least competitive of the Cult options.

I don't find a lot of value in Razorflails paired with Serpentin - kind of defeats half the purpose for the upgrade, yeah?
Frankly I'd tend not to bother with Razorflails at all (usually you're near a Succubus anyway...) and would just take Hydra Gauntlets, but if I went Razorflails I'd combo it with a different drug.

Also, with 3 10 man squads of Wyches, 2 5 man squads of Warriors, 2 Succubi and 2 Archons - where are people going? The Succubi will want to travel up with the Wyches, but it feels like you're going to be tight on space unless you're lobbing some Warriors up into assault range also. I'd tend to take one less Wych in two squads and float in a Succubus myself. The Shardnet squad in particular will function basically just as well with 9 bodies and 2 nets compared to 10 and 3.

I question the point of paying for Splinter Racks, though I guess you can cram 2 squads in there and do okay - but, as mentioned above, I think you're really tight on your transports. As stands, the Archons want to move up board to use their Blasters, as you don't have any Ravagers for them to babysit. The Succubi also want to move up board to assault stuff. With the splinter racks in play you're basically obligated to double Warrior squad that Raider, meaning that both Archons and both Succubi are sharing a single Raider. So you'll have 3 raiders of Wyches, 1 Raider w. 2 Blasters and s.racks, and 1 Raider with 4 HQ options, 3 Blasters, your Warlord, and all your re-roll tech.

Which Raider do you think your opponent is going to shoot off the table round 1?

I'd tend to advocate for working in the Succubi to the Wych Raiders or getting an additional transport to travel some bodies separate.

I tend to advocate for the Razorwing over the Voidraven as far as functionality goes - though I'd also tend to advocate for Ravagers over either, as a point saving plan. This isn't a bad setup though, and it will get work done.
