1250 point assault list

Hi,

So I played with my new DE this weekend for the first time. I realised that while I love shooting at stuff from midfield (Venom Splinter Cannon Spam), there were armies that did it better (Tau, IG) at this points level and I consequentially lost a couple of games and won one.

Soooo....with this in mind, i'm trying to put together a hard hitting assault list at 1250 points. Suggestions welcome.

The concept is fairly simple. All troops and Incubi turbo boost turn one (Hence no flicker fields) and then deploy stuff for assaults turn two. FNP is granted to the Wyches by Haemi's. The opponent will no doubt try and take down my Raiders as a priority but will find themselves unleashing the can of worms inside. Thoughts?

3 Haemonculi – 150 points
150 points

Troops 1 - 6 Wyches (7 Haywire Grenades) + Hekatrix (Agonizer) in Raider - 174 pts
Troops 2 - 6 Wyches (7 Haywire Grenades) + Hekatrix (Agonizer) in Raider - 174 pts
Troops 3 - 6 Wyches (7 Haywire Grenades) + Hekatrix (Agonizer) in Raider - 174 pts
522 points

Elite 1 - 5 Incubi in Venom (Extra Splinter Cannon) -175 pts
Elite 1 - 5 Incubi in Venom (Extra Splinter Cannon) -175 pts
350 points

Heavy Support 1 - Ravager (Flickerfield) – 115pts
Heavy Support 2 - Ravager (Flickerfield) – 115pts
230 points

1252 points

3 bare bones haemonculi just for paint tokens seems extravagant (and gives away kill points)

Troops 1 - 6 Wyches (7 Haywire Grenades) + Hekatrix (Agonizer) in Raider - 174 pts
Troops 2 - 6 Wyches (7 Haywire Grenades) + Hekatrix (Agonizer) in Raider - 174 pts

Not bad though enhanched aether sails would probably serve you well here

Elite 1 - 5 Incubi in Venom (Extra Splinter Cannon) -175 pts

Remember no grenades means assaulting into cover make incubi cry

Heavy Support 1 - Ravager (Flickerfield) – 115pts
Heavy Support 2 - Ravager (Flickerfield) – 115pts
230 points
Industry Standard

I'm with the 'Price is Right' on points totals 'you can be any amount under but not one point over'. It's a good mentality to get in as you won't have any tournie/pick up game issues should you decide to compete.

My comments in red (and the Barons in green).

I'm not sure if you would be better served with a webway list, that said your list isn't bad and only playtesting will tell you if you like it.
