First stab at a list with the new codex.
Both units of Wracks grab a Venom and do some drive-by shootings with their shiny new liquifiers.
The Trueborn hang back in a Raider at 18" and shoot stuff.
The Mandrakes grab me some secondaries.
Drazhar, Archon, Succubus, Bloodbrides, Incubi and Wyches go in Raiders, zoom forward, leap out and kill stuff.
The Reavers hang back and shoot at first but then try to murder some characters with Eviscerating Flyby.
The Ravager shoots stuff. | |

| I like it, you are actually very close to Nick Nanavati's first tourney list. he ended up dropping the Venoms for more Raiders in the current build. I think this will work well for you. My only personal critique is the same critique that I was given, way to many points on vehicle upgrades. | |

| To be honest, I probably would have taken an extra Raider over the Venoms too but I have 6 Venoms but only 4 Raiders!
The only change I'm thinking of at the moment is whether to drop the Reavers and grab another Ravager and another unit of Mandrakes. | |

| Those are some awfully costly boats... Most armies should be able to take down 2-4 in a turn (assuming they have LoS) | |

| I would strongly recommend Obsidian Rose over Black Heart in the Kabal detachment. Trueborn get a lot more value out of re-rolling the wound on their lance than they do re-rolling a 2+ to hit. They also have 24" blasters and 30" rapid fire. Basically all BH is doing for you is allowing your Raiders to advance and charge on turn 1 if your opponent deploys/moves in a way where that's possible and worthwhile. When it comes to lances, the math is the same, but OR is better at killing T8. | |

| Yeah, I was torn between BH and OR. I'm not using any of the BH specific stuff although I like to have AoV in my toolbox. OR though, are pretty tasty and it's a good point about the Trueborn.

| Okay, totally different take on this. Gone with Obsidian Rose and lots of darklight. Got rid of the Reavers and one unit of Wyches but still got Incubi, Bloodbrides, a melee Archon, Succubus and Drazhar, which seems like a sufficient melee threat. Reapers in the Dark Technomancers seem like a good fit, although they are a bit costly.

| Your not making good use of the Cult of Strife detatchment. No WLT, Relic, or target for their strats other than the Wyches themselves.
Those boats are still super pricy. I guess the enemy would rather target your 4 gun boats instead, so maybe they will be OK. No way you can hide all 7 on Turn 1, so some of them will probably never get to shoot.
But I think this list has some real teeth. I am curious how it performs (I assume you are in a DG/DA/Marine heavy META where you need all those lances?) | |

| Yeah, main opponents are Ultramarines, Death Guard and Iron Warriors, with some occasional CWE thrown in so darklight is pretty useful.
Good point about CoS. Might change that to Cursed Blade, which is my preferred Cult anyway, absent CoS goodies.
The idea with the pricy Raiders is that they basically move up into the enemy and whichever one survives the longest gets to do the Commorragh Drift move sideways into the enemy using the Shock Prow to inflict mortals on a 4+ to any enemy models in engagement range before the (hopefully) surviving melee troops that have disembarked or been shot out of the boats get to assault. The opponent is faced with a choice of shooting down the Raiders with the juicy melee units inside or shooting at the Ravagers and Reapers at the back. Hopefully they won't be able to do both! | |

one thing alot of people are forgetting though i that BH helps you out when your gunboats are wounded, which is going to happen eventually | |

Actually i ment the hit reroll helps more when the gunboats are wounded and their BS drops, not the PfP +1 which helps as well of course | |
