I'm fairly new to 40k and I haven't played too many games. I've been playing at 1300 points because at this point that is all I have, but I plan on making a large order soon and I want to get some advice on a list before I do.

Haemonculus, Liquifier, Venom Blade
Haemonculus, Liquifier, Venom Blade

(Each in a squad of wyches)
Troops-
-9 wyches, hydra gauntlet, Hecatrix w/ agonizer, all w/ haywire grenades (in raider)

-9 wyches, hydra gauntlet, Hecatrix w/ agonizer, all w/ haywire grenades (in raider)
-10 wracks, 2 liquifiers, Acothyst w/ Venom Blade (in raider)
(Should I drop the gauntlets and give an agonizer to the Acothyst if I keep the wracks?)

I'm currently running something similar, except with scourges and without the extra unit of wyches, the unit of wracks, the third blasterborn squad, or the flyer. So everything that I haven't bought yet I'm willing to change. (only have so much money).
The main thing I'm iffy about is the wrack unit, as I've never seen wracks in action, but I hear that they are a great choice. T4 is nice but I'm used to initiative 6 with wyches. xD. I've also considered a unit of incubi w/ an archon in a venom which would require me to drop the wracks and replace them with a unit of warriors w/ a blaster in a venom due to the cost sink. I'm torn at the moment, so any advice would be helpful, even suggesting something I haven't thought of yet.
If I were to run this list at 1850 I would probably drop the hydra gauntlets, a wych from each squad, and a trueborn from each blasterborn squad.
The main reason why I prefer flickerfield on the assault vehicles is because i play against a lot of Tau and Chaos. Between the Helldrake S6 flamer and Tau ignoring cover too often for my liking it saves my vehicles more often than Night Shields would. I have a knack for making my vehicle saves too which helps (: I also think it helps whenever I go second, as theres no jink if you cant move.
