Hi there lakegamer, I like the looks of the list but would make some pointers from what I have heard and seen.

~1: I don't know if you already own the models or you just like them allot but I when I use them I find they are only useful against the more basic levels of MEQ. When you put them up against other dedicated assault MEQ the lack of a invulnerable save can cost you big time. If I was running a Archon against the big scary's of real-space I would rather travel with some hot ladies over Incubi. The 4++ save will keep your entourage kicking around for a good while.

~2: If you made this change |or not| I would use some extra points for the ninth reaver with a heat lance. As a matter of fact I would change all blasters for heat lanced because They are good at destroying tanks; probably more so than blasters IMO.

Those are my only oppinions... sorry for the long winded explinations but I had time to kill.

Also, Aethersails are pretty much useless unless you need to get across a really big table. You could save a few points by taking them off. Then you should have enough points for some special weapons for the Wyches.

only 2 troop squads

id probably put that splinter rack back on the gunboat and get rid of the blaster as its basically wasted or 9 other models are wasted per turn.

If you're wondering...

Q: Must passengers fire at the same target that their
vehicle is firing at? (p66)
A: No, they are a separate unit (albeit they are
temporarily co-existing with the vehicle) and so can fire
at a different target.

If you are running the Archon with the Incubi I would recommend dropping the Shadowfield for a Clonefield. You usually aren't going to have much swinging back at you with that many Incubi swinging at I5. The Ghostplate also can be a bit redundant with that many 3+ armor saves in the unit. These two drops will give you almost enough points (with the two that you are short of 1500) to buy another Incubi.

Disclaimer-I don't use an Archon much, but used one like this with a unit of Grotesques. He didn't do much, but he didn't die either!
