Thoughts: I'm usually playing against SM/MEQ or Eldar with tons of wraith guard and dire avengers

-Archon rolls with incubai in shock prow raider, aethersails to speed things up if needed.
-10x Warriors for anti troop, splinter rack on raider for pew pew.
-5x warriors for more anti troop, flank, objectives.
-5x wyches w/haywire nades to pop tanks/juicy targets.
-3x Jetbikes in small packs with heat lance to taunt/annoy/and light AV kill.
-3x Ravagers for giggles.

I would drop the splinter racks. Our cardboard armored vehicles go boom to easy. Better bet is to dismount from your Raider into some good area terrain. I'd also consider bumping up your number of models in your Warrior squads. Chances are good you'll need the extra bodies. Same thing with the Reavers. 2 squads may give you more tactical flexibility, but are asking to be destroyed in detail.

More to follow as I have time.

you can replace 2 of your venom kabalite warriors with venoms with 3 trueborn with two splinter cannons and spare yourself 4 points each but get twice as much DAKKA. also, to reiterate CavDoc, our transports are stupid fragile. loading them up with too much can give you a bad day come the enemy turn.

Thanks for the advice. Not sure what I'm going to do at this point. I should probably play test some next. I'm almost done assembling everything, just need to finish the warriors and 3 more venoms. Any advice on HQ/Incubus?

I did delve into the tactics and tech threads and combed through for ideas..

What you have works. In fact it's close to what I run during mid-level games. I usually leave the soul trap at home and add a Venom Blade. It helps to have the option to choose between the ID, AP2 Huskblade versus the 2+ to wound Venom Blade.
