Re-starting 40k

After several years i would like to start a new Journey with my Drukhari. I felt in love with the Witch cult, this is first list with harlequins contingent, but i think will be soon a pure witch army. Cheers to everyone of you, stay safe

For a first starting out list its fine as a wych list.

A couple things i couple things i would think about changing are;
Take off the Blast pistols on your girls and keep them cheap especially if you have Skyweavers and Scourges
Scourges might be better with Shredders to hurt most things, HWB are nice, but again you have 9 Skyweavers (Unless you are fight a LOT of vehicles). Shredders are very good vs most things even monsters.
Take off the 2nd Splinter cannon on venoms, not really needed for the points

The only major thing i see is lack of transports. I would try to get at least 1 more in there, not only are they their to help your gals get into combat via protection, Venoms can help clear screens.

With 3 Blaster pistols less and with no 2nd Splinter that'll give you almost enough points to take a 3rd Venom which is much better than what you have now. So if you can find the extra 15pts that be perfect.

Sorry it took so long for someone to replay, but DE is mostly established and give the Lock-down many players are not talking much right now.

I can only say thank you for sharing with me your experience. I played no games due to lockdown we are in here in Italy, but i will modify my list following your advice. As far as i can see the Mantra "more boys less toys" paid off, at least in video battle reports

Good luck!

I'm curious of the purpose of the skyweavers with shuriken cannon and star bolas? I haven't played them much myself (amishprn is the resident harlequin expert). But I generally have seen the zephyrglaive as the better option.

What is the tactical plan for those. Assuming you want them, I would think about 1 squad equipped with those, and then 2 squads with the glaives and haywire. It would just prevent you getting stuck with them in the wrong positioning for their target of choice by splitting them across the three squads.

On your big blob of wyches, is the plan to deep strike them?

I've been planning to fit Drazhar in to my list as well as he seems to be awesome now, even without incubi. So maybe to replace one of your 3 succubi for variety. Would just need to find some more points though to fit him in.

Finally, I rarely find much utility for heatlances or blasters on my reaver jetbikes any more. Though I believe others have. I still like the unit, thought it doesn't often find its way into my list. I sometimes like 2 squads of 3 rather than a squad of 6 to just charge around to claim objectives, tie up tanks in combat etc. But that comes down a bit more into your play style and what role you want them to fill in your army.

I honestly didn't see they were Shuriken Cannons, i notice the Bolas and that is normal to have 1 in units. But i did see HWC and assumed it was all of them.

Yes, go all HWC. HWC's are both anti-infantry and anti-tank, just not anti-elite, but they are good enough in melee for anti-elite. Shuriken is best with CWE or even Corsairs.

I didn't personally say anything about the H: Reavers b.c i felt i said a lot already and don't want to completely change the originals lists design as much as possible. But i agree. He should try reavers without the HL first, it will also free up some more points for him.

I agree, they will be the list's main anti vehicles tool. For revers i changed my mind. They will be naked in order to keep them cheap for objective grabbing and tied up things.
