Everything else enters through portal.
This is my first list that I will be attempting to play. My idea is to have the three Raiders move up, drop off troops, open portals, get close and kill. I gave my Raiders some upgrades in case I decide to get a bit reckless and try to run my opponent over, kind of like giant Reavers. (May be a bit crazy, but could be fun.) Any ways, anyone have any thoughts on it?

Where's he going? if it's with the incubi he needs a phantasm GL, doesn't matter where he is he could do with either a shadowfield or a clonefield.

I'd like to find the points to give these liquifiers (I'd even lose the venom blades to facilitate this)

Elites
Incubi
9x Incubi, Klaivex, Onslaught – 228
Klaivex and powers is expensive at the best of times for the points spent you could have another incubi and points left over

Troops
Wyches A
9x Wyches, Haywire, Hekatix, Agonizer – 138
Wyches B
9x Wyches, Haywire, Hekatix, Agonizer – 138
I'll always have a soft spot for wyches and this is a good set up if you need points you could happily lose 1-2 from each squad but other than that they're good.

Wracks
8x Wracks – 80
I'd like to see a liquifier here (drop one wrack and you can have one) as it gives you options and a nice little unit 'softener'.

Fast Attack
Scourges
8xScourges, 2 Haywire Blasters – 196
You only need 5 to take 2 haywire blasters so when you're shooting at vehicles your only wasting the shots of 3 carbines not 6 as you are with this unit.

BeastPack
2 Beastmasters, 5 Khymera, 2 Flocks - 114
Nice if you decide to add any more to this beastmasters with flocks is the way forward


Heavy Support
Ravager
Flickerfield (unsure what else) – 115
Good (if you want anything else it would be nightshields but it's not nessecary)

Talos
chains, extra weapon, haywire blaster - 130
Like it these are designed for WWP lists

Chronos
Probe and Vortex - 110
Solid choice I fielded one in my WWP list and it rarely had a bad game and the occasional game where it was an unholy terror.

Transports:
Raider
Flickerfield, Chains, Shockprow – 80x3 = 240
Tailor the transport to the unit I'd try and fit at least one enhanced aethersails in to assist in WWP delivery.

Raider A) Archon+Incubi; Raider B) Haemon A + Wracks; Raider C) Haemon B+Wyches B

My comments in red.

My game never happened on Saturday, so I am reworking the list based on the criticisim. I have already built myself a new Haemon w/ WWP, Venom, Liquifier. In the process of designing a second for the game on Saturday. I really only based my list off of the models I had. Will post a new list as I get the models going.

One of the things I like about the Haemon is the 3 for 1 choice. I think its pretty cool from a modeling standpoint. Individual characters that can join units with their own cool look and weapons. So with that in mind I ask, what would be some other usefull combinations of wargear for a Haemon to have? Wanting to design another one. Anyone ever use the anything like the Gauntlets or Scissorhands? Was thinking Scissorhands and Liquifier would be interesting (if only I could also give him a WWP) Any thoughts?

Also , do you think I should focus on a smaller point limit game for my first run (in a while?)

*edit* Called the store before I went. They suggested I bring 1850 tomorrow so I tweaked the list slightly. Tossed in extra Haemon to list I posted moments ago. Figured add a bit extra to another Wych unit. Total comes to 1843.
