Thoughts?
Improvements?

Basically I want the Archon to feed up asap (hence Soul Trap and Combat Drugs) and is supported in this by the wracks.
I wanted the Void Raven for the two STR 9 lances and that large blast bomb! (flickerfield to keep him alive longer)
Beast pack was just for extra worry for my opponent (hopefully they slip past without thought)

For the archon i would try to work in a huskblade for ap2 or an agonizer for monstrous creatures as i think it would work better with soultrap.

Few mistakes in the list. Only ten kabalite can take splinter Cannon and bobber blast is small. Beastpack is a bit small to be usefull.

Don't really see the bomber blast being small as an issue. If you're taking a void raven, then you're taking it for AT. With a D6 scatter it will rarely roll off of mid-size vehicles, and if you aim it at the proper infantry, terminators, paladins, broadsides etc, it will usually outperform a monoscythe missile. However, it is only one use. So even if the blast is smaller than the OP thought it's not bad.

I'm not sure I'd use one at such a low point total though. A ravager would probably be better, it's cheaper and it starts on the board. Voidravens are our poor attempt at anti-flyers and you shouldn't run into many flyers at 750 points. 3 S8 shots on ground units is going to be better than 2 S9 shots.

Crap, haha, I started them both out as 10 man squads, thats how that happened. I suppose that frees up 20 points.

Im thinking of dropping the beast pack, and including another 5 man warrior squad and perhaps another raider if i can find points for it.

Minus the beast pack, splinter racks on both raiders, splinter cannons on the troops, and perhaps 2 men from each warrior squad, I should be able to put in another 5 man squad and a raider.

thoughts?

Or should I perhaps bolster one of my current squads and take an almost barebones heamonculus (perhaps with a liquifier and accompany one of the warrior squads?) to make the wracks troop choices?

Id maybe drop the haemy and drop the voidraven for a ravager at 750 the spare points are probably spent better elsewhere.

I would perhaps drop the Haemy, Voidraven and Wracks.

Instead of the voidraven i would get a ravager and instead of the wracks i would get haywire wyches which are troops, can function as AT or accompany the Archon into CC for a more versatile role(Although bringing the haemy would make them troops aswell).

For the points granted by losing the haemy and Voidraven i would eighter fill out the raiders and get Splinter racks and the Splinter Cannon or try to make room for a splinterborn squad in a Venom.

Sorry for double post phone messed up and cant seem to edit on it. Also maybe take the archon as more barebone. Or even drop the archon and put haemy with hex with one of your squads. You shouldnt anything to scaru at 750 so a good mix of poison weapons and AT should do.
