Ah wych cults, we love them! At least I do :-)

I would bring those wych squads full strength and dump those night shields. And why the baron without hellions?

2. +1 on who decided who start
3. being darn badass

OK, so to capitalize, throw out one wych squad and raider and add some hellions too? Even if it were just a meat shield around him? Or would he fly with the beastmasters?

I think so,

Drop NS on the Ravs at the very least. 1-2 Beast masters can go (along with 5 khymerea and/or 2 flocks) as it is now its going to be a big, slow, hard to maneuver blob. With those cuts start filling out the wych squads, get them all a shardnet(2 if you can max any squads) and more bodies. If you have to cut one squad to finish it then do so.

Yeah I just added Nightshields cause in shooting lists its a no brainer but I'll be trying to assault turn 2 with everything so they probably won't do too much good. I could get 8 more Wyches total if I dropped all the nightshields, bringing my squads up to 7 and two up to 8.
I wouldn't drop any Beasts, they have to look threatening (and they are threatening) elsewise people might not shoot them & shoot down my transports!
I usually run 12 skimmers in 1500+ pts so running with 9 feels like a gamble right from the beginning. So the Beasts will need that stealth hopefully they can soak a lot of shooting. If not, most people probably really don't want a full squad to hit their lines untouched.
I also usually have 27 darklights at 2k, running with 15 makes me feel a bit nervous but I do have a lot of Haywire.
I could drop the Baron for even more Wyches, but sense I'm not buying 6 Haemonculi he seems like the best compromise. Really don't want to get stuck with 3D6 run when my whole army is Wyches haha & it gives me two chances to get the whole army FNP right off the bat.
