i feel (very) low on troops, not sure about what to do with the liquifier heamonculus :/ and i have 1 raider not used

_removing blasterborn for 10 man kabalite/wracks in raider ?
_hexrifle heamy with hex aco with wracks ?
_razorwing or second ravager ? (if i do that how i kill flyers?)

the problem is : i have already 2 female heamy with liquifier converted :p

this list will be my painting objective for start playing; thx for yours advices !

First off welcome to the Dark City! Secondly you are right about being VERY low on troops. You are pretty scattered with your troop selections and while you stated you wanted to avoid "spam" some redundancy is necessary in order to create a playable army.

Depending on the type of army you are interested I recommend a couple things....

For an all comers list

I would drop the wracks/venom entirely and replace them with another unit of wyches with haywire grenades
I would also drop the warriors in the venom and add in 2 units of ten warriors in a raider with splinter racks and night shields

5 wyches w/ haywire grenades in venom
5 wyches w/ haywire grenades in venom
10 kabalite warriors in raider w/ splinter racks and flicker field
10 kabalite warriors in raider w/ splinter racks and flicker field

You have the wyches in venoms to blow up some tanks and the gun boats to drop a significant amount of poison shots into infantry.

For close combat based army

I would drop the single warrior venom and replaced it with 2 raiders w/ 8 wyches w/ haywire grenades and a hekatrix w/ a phantom grenade launcher inside.
Then fill 2 venoms w/ 5 wracks each, give one a liquifier.

8 wyches w/ haywire grenades w/ hekatrix w/ PGL & venom blade in raider- 181
8 wyches w/ haywire grenades w/ hekatrix w/ PGL & venom blade in raider- 181
5 wracks w/ liquifer in venom- 125
5 wracks w/ liquifer in venom- 125


For HQ's the haemonculus is good. The archon is kind of out of place especially with the first list. He isn't strong enough to run around by himself. I would stick with the haemonculus and add in an archon if you want a CC list. Stick the archon in a unit of wyches.

Archon w/ venom blade, blast pistol, shadow field & PGL- 135

You should focus heavy support on anti-tank by getting two ravagers and putting flickerfields on them.



Sorry if that was a big pointless ramble haha but I hope that helps and gives you some ideas.

Obviously i need more troops, working on that.
i just have a couple ov questions :p

_in 6th when a vehicule explode its STR4 hit right ? so when the dakka raider explode (and he will 100% explode because of the range he need) this means lot of dead
+ venom give more dakka at 24+ range and cost less (a raider can moove 12" then the kab can rapid fire 12" right ?)
in conclusion i dont see the point of splinter rack raider :p

_PGL was useless on wyches in 5th what is his role now ?

maybe 10 kabalite with blaster and splinter canon droped in middle and some small squad in venom for the counter charge dunno
anyway i'm going to have minimum 20 kab painted right away :p
