2k Kabal/Cult list

Howdy gang, I just purchased a ton of Dhrukhari off of my friend, over 3000 points worth, so I have some space to play with this list. I wanted to run a double battalion, Kabal and Cult. Unfortunately there is literally zero coven stuff in what I bought, and with my wife due to give birth next week, buying anytime soon isn't an option.

The general idea is to ram the Reavers down my opponent's throat turn one, and then webway bomb the large group of Wyches into wherever the line is either broken, or they have something that I have to tie up for a while. Meanwhile the Warriors just kind of shoot the place up, and the Ravagers stay next to my Archon for the re-roll.

Good god that's a lot of darklight.

List looks good, but I would reccomend trading some darklight for disintergrators somewhere, for the anti-heavy infantry.

Congrats on the child though

I could replace the lances on my Kabal Raiders with disintegrators (they will still be in range), and maybe switch the blasters on one of my scourge units for heat lances.

List looks good there are just a couple of small points - the blood glaive succubus is she modelled with an impaler? Arming her with both that and the relic seems odd to me. Also the dark lances in the kabalites are quite expensive for weapons which will usually be hitting on 4s. Do you have rides for your characters?

I love haywire blasters on Scourges. And you should have 4 assault weapons with the scourge as well. Which is easier when haywire blasters are cheaper than blasters. They help tons against things like knights, Necron vehicles and do fairly well against light infantry.

Also more disintegrators for sure. I'd say from the raiders at the very least.
I am undecided about the Dark Lance's on the Kabalite units. I think the points saved removing them could be better spent elsewhere. And while splinter racks and having that many PGLs is fun, you could save those points as well. Just cutting unnecessary points for other more useful things (and maybe more units) is great.

Have you considered a Red Grief Raider? Use it with Aethersails for a 22" move + charge when needed. It works well with the reavers.
I was also thinking that blast pistols would be better served on the succubi over the archons since they are probably more likely to be in the heat of it.

These are just some ideas that I think could be useful and more fun without changing your list too much.

I have a kind of similar list that I just posted as well.
