How does it work? 2 Succubi go shred things. Drazhar goes near by. Most important assault is supported by the Archon who forces the enemy to fight last in order to prevent the counter offensive strat.

I have a Cult of strife detachment with a succubus warlord to gain access to relics and stratagems. (I know you can buy CoS relics for CP, but this moment needs clarifications and I don’t want to dispute with anyone about this. Moreover it doesn’t matter in this list who is your warlord as soon as all the necessary characters gain WT).
CoS wyches got their No Retreat Agoniser and +1 T drug in order to hold the enemy in combat longer.

The Succubus got +1S instead of +1A as I think she has enough attacks and she can generate even more with her WT. But with the strength 5 she is capable to wound harder targets more effectively. As the goonhammer article is correct, this choice is solid.

Cursed Blade wyches benefit from random drugs as they already have Str 4. There is no bad results in the combat drugs chart, even +1 LD/+1BS is viable. But with good rolling you can potentially have 6 attacks with str 6 from one Wych on overdose.

Mandrakes go for scramblers/banners or deny the enemy infiltration or bait the enemy to charge them. A good unit.

Incubi are riding a boat with 5 wyches as a safety bag and 5 kabalites with blaster in the other boat. They are also accompanied by the Archon and Drazhar.

5 Naked kabalites are for home scoring and home scramblers.
Trueborn and ravagers and raiders are for anti-tech/anti-biker/anti-terminator purposes.

Initially both my Succubi were in the same CoS detachment, they had precision blows on razorflails and competitive edge on the triptych. Then I decided to make both of them Master succubi for additional annoying my opponent.

So what do you think guys?

You sure you only want the two CoS units? Seems like a lot of effort just to get some tricks on a 10 man unit of wyches.

I personally hate the Razorflail Succubus combo, and would never use it. But if your in a super cut-throat meta, you do you buddy.

I must admit I like all those boats. Would look very intimidating on the tabletop!

What Secondaries are you thinking of taking? I always try and have 2 built into my list so I can either choose the Mission Secondary or one based on my opponent.
Engage is an easy one for us, Scramblers will be tough unless you want to sacrifice a turn of your Wyches doing work to Scramble.

List looks good. I'd be tempted to try to scrounge up some points to get splinter racks on the Trueborn's raider but other than that, looks pretty solid.

Yeah all those tasty stratagems are just for one unit of wyches. This is definitely downside of this list.

I know, this combo is super dirty, but this list is for the big tournament where everyone shows their worst units.

I prefer to take table quarters/anti-quarters, scramblers, mission specific secondaries like Overrun, Scan, Priority Target and some missions which depend on my opponent, like killing characters, taking down warlord and so on.

Honestly I’m not a big fan of racks. I think it doesn’t worth 10 points for just an additional wound to a space marine.
