The haemies rides with the wyches and the Archon with the incubi. I left out flickerfields on one wych raider to save some points, since its purpose is to speed ahead and them have them disembark.
Please give some constructive critizism!

Your archon needs some protection: clone/shadow field and/or ghostplate or he gonna die in first combat.

Yeah, I had planned for some defensive gear but obviously missed it.

I can give him both shadow field and ghostplate if I replace the blast pistol with a splinter pistol.
Or should he keep his blast pistol instead of his ghostplate? I can't decide.
I've also removed the shardnet from the wych squad and removed one Khymerae to get the points for the Archon changes.

Better off making him more survivable than worrying bout his very short ranged pistol

Might want to have a look at using Duke Sliscus. He really does alot for both the Kabalite unit he's with, and any wych squad in the list.

Also, second splintercannon on a venom, always worth it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Should I drop the archon + incubi in favor of the duke? I really like those models though, but I'll see what I can come up with.

I would cut the archon for the duke and the incubi for splinterborn.

I added NS on the kabalite raider for some spare points since I plan to fly around and shoot with it.
Sliscus goes with the TB in the raider ofc.

I would lose the shardnets and splinter cannon in the warrior squad to get some protection on those wych raiders.

Are shredders poisoned? I dont have my book in front of me. If not I would make those Carbines instead.

Yeah, you're right. It's the shardcarbines that are poisoned.
My bad.
