The second Archon (the one with the relic) will buff the Tantalus and the Venoms.
Coven are there to save some tactical markers. (And the Tali are going to slay some enemies i love them )

Feel free to C&C and what you think about the list

Cherrio, DerDusen

I´m thinking about to change the Hatred Eternal with Labyrinthine Cunning. Do you think it is worth it?

Personally I wouldn't go for black heart for your kabal battallion as there's not much in the list that would benefit from it. I would go for flayed skull and personally use the soulthirst trait to allow the archon to heal by killing, this also allows the tantalus to be a brutal anti air unit and will wipe out anything in cover. Also would drop the hexrifle on the haemi considering he'll be trying to get into combat

Also trueborn are too expensive to bother taking now, and would trade the talos gauntlets and heat lances for macro scalpels and haywire blasters. I would use the free points for making wracks 10 man in order to benefit better from black cornucopians

ok, thanks.
i´m going to test the list today and apply some changes to it.
