2000 Pts, 11 CP

Overall the idea is to play into the strengths/abilities of Poisoned Tongue and Red Grief.  My logic on the disintegrators is to make up for lacking the consistency of Black Heart/Obsidian Rose WRT ROF Dark Lances.....3 S5 AP -3 D2 shots can be quite irritating, even against mid range vehicles.  Plus the 2 Ravagers + the Scourges should be able to handle any real vehicle threats. the 10 person scourge blob exists to be a really annoying deep strike item. The Trueborn squad can either serve as tank hunters or as my backfield objective holders.

Things I am considering modifying (ie looking for input on)

1. Do I put a relic on the Archon? The Helm of Spite, Soulhelm, or Soul-Seeker are the leading contenders, but it adds 1 CP to the cost of my army

2. Considering swapping the Disintegrators on the 2 Warrior unit Raiders for Dark Lances so that I can spend those 10 pts on adding PGLs to either the wyches or the Ravagers

3. Considering swapping the 5 Shardcarbine Scourges for a 2nd Succubus (who I would likely kit out w the Tryptich Whip and +2A WL trait)

3a. Without the 5 shardcarbines, I would consider swapping the 5 Scourges w 4 Shredders for 5 Mandakes, which would free up 10 pts for some other misc upgrades

1. I normally try to sneak in the helm of spite into my lists, just for a chance to stop those key powers like warptime, null zone, etc. that can be clutch. 1 CP for that isn't bad at all.

2. the dark lance swap isn't a bad idea, gives you some more heavy weapon fire.

3. I'm a huge fan of succubi, and the whip +2 attack combo can be pretty brutal.

4. Mandrakes are great action monkeys, so also a pretty decent trade there as it's not like you're short on anti-infantry!

So I don't know how much help I'm being, but I kinda like all your modifications you're suggesting lol

Hahahaha, thanks

Sometimes I just need to run ideas outside my own head to sell them to myself.

Even with all the changes I would still be rocking 8 CP start of game, and I would only be down 5 relatively fragile models.

I also totally own something like 3 succubi....

I'm still getting used to reading Drukhari lists and what does what, but the first two ideas you had are both not-even-a-question from my perspective.

Changes 3 and 4 (or 3a technically) I'm a little less sold on. They still seem good for sure but I'm less convinced for some reason. I feel like the big unit of Scourges might have some utility that isn't easily theoryhammered and you might find the big unit useful.

Thanks for the input.

Thankfully ive got all the models to try out both and see how it works (I own like 50 scourges because they are cool)

And I do agree there is certainly an effect that 4d6 S6 attacks and 18 poison shots can have on a very mobile platform.

[lightcavalier]

I dont have the models for it yet, but the alternative the 10 scourges (or 5 mandrakes and a succubus) is also just 10 mandrakes....which I hope to eventually assemble to have as an option

[raceygaming]

I dont think you can go wrong with DE right now. I got absolutely cleaned by an all kabal list. Just Drazhar, 2x master archons, 10 incubus, 10 mandrake, 10 scourge and the rest is warrior/true born in venoms and raiders.
It was 82-31 DE vs Orks. I was tabled start of turn 5 and he still have 6 untouched units plus some scraps left.
