So what is going on with all this mess?
The raiders will house the two units of incubi with Drahzar and the Archon, as well as the bloodbrides+succubus and the trueborn
The big blob of wracks is there with the haemonculus to clog midboard and create a big aura of Leadership debuff that can be capitalized on with all the grisly trophies on everything. The haemonculus is super annoying because he can turn off obsec and stop units from getting actions... so he's essentially just a big jerk.
Scourges fly around ready to drop in and shoot something with 4 S8 AP-4 D6 damage guns per squad. In a pinch they can also advance and shoot due to assault weapons and the archon due to black heart can make them reroll 1's if he's around.
The archon, Drazhar and two units of incubi all have the ability to make a unit fight last. Drazhar and his buddies need some coven help and some trophies to make that more plausible (with the -3 debuff) but the Archon is automatic. They can also blender extremely well.
Speaking of blenders, the Succubus and her friends are there to simply eliminate a big unit of infantry. The Succubus is rocking on the charge TWELVE (I'm serious) WS 2+, Poison 2+ attacks with -3 AP and 2 damage each. Her friends are looking at all having S4 due to the combat drugs, and four attacks each, so can blender any S4 or less unit quite well. Plus they're WS 2+ and have a reroll 1's to wound aura from the Succubus.
Anti-tank is pretty decent. Four dark lances backed up by 10 blaster shots throughout the army should crack open a few tanks. (knights of course will remain an issue but when the best weapon I have is S8 then it gets dicey, but unless you tool for knights, it's not really going to make an all comers list)
