Hq
Archon: shadow field, venom blade, blaster -110
Archon: shadow field, venom blade, blaster -110

Troops:
5x kabalite warriors: blaster, raider - 120 (archon 1)
5x kabalite warriors: blaster, raider - 120 (archon 2)
10x kabalite warriors: raider - 150
5x kabalite warriors: blaster, venom 2 splinter cannon- 125
5x kabalite warriors: blaster, venom 2 splinter cannon- 125

Fast attack
6x reavers with 2 blaster - 162
6x reavers with 2 blaster - 162

Heavy support
Ravager- 3x dark lance -105
Ravager- 3x dark lance -105
Ravager- 3x dark lance -105

Total 1499

Does this list look ok? I find transports and reavers really fun, so I want the list to be focused around them.
Should I drop the 2nd archon for another venoms or jetbikes?
Should I add/ remove anything?
My friends I play with are quite competitive so I want my list to be able to keep up for some exciting games

Oh and first 2 raiders have disintegrators. 3rd one has dark lance.
Would this list have enough anti infantry?

Ditch one archon - you don't need 2. Ask yourself the question: when was the last time my archon did something remotely significant?

If you ditch one of your archons you only need 1 more point (ditch a warrior from the 10 man strong unit), and you can buy 2x 3 trueborn w/2 splinter cannons.

26 poison shots have a stronger impact than 1 blaster archon - and it's more targets for your opponent to deal with.

I agree, especially in that configuration. Now if you were fielding double nasty assault units with tooled out archon then maybe, probably still not worth it, but another blaster archon no. I like the idea of another venom filled with splinterborn.

Yay thanks for the help. I shall drop the archon.
Do you think the other blaster archon will be useful or should I put him in a cc unit and maybe give him a husk blade?

If you aren't making your archon for CC anyhow, you could do as follows:

Drop extra archon + 110 points
Drop 5 kabalite warriors from the 10 man squad +50 pts
Already had 1 pt open, for a total of 161 pts available now.

Add 3 Kabalite trueborn w/ blasters: 81 pts
Add Venom w/ extra splinter cannon: 65 pts
Add Blaster to the new 5 man Kabalite squad: 15 pts
Total: 161 pts.

New army points value would be: 1500 pts.

This would give you another venom with 12 splinter shots, and 4 more blaster shots. The shadow field on the archon would protect your trueborn when their venom is blown up, and the 5 pt venom blade is never a bad buy. Keeps your archon decent in CC, should it come to that.

Sounds good betraytheworld. I might take away 1 blaster from the true born and guve the archon a ghost plate, just to soak up a few more shots.

The Blaster will serve you far better than Ghostplate, and removing it essentially renders that Trueborn dead weight. If your Archon's Shadowfield fails, chances are he's dead anyway.

I agree with all of this.
