First List

So I don't have my codex yet (hoping to sell off my GK this weekend to fund my DE project) so the points could be way off but I am hoping this comes out to roughly ~1000ish points.

Black heart battalion
archon - huskblade, blast pistol, warlord (cunning)
archon - huskblade, blast pistol, helm of spite (can't remember if it's obsession specific?)
2x5 kabalites w/a blaster
10 kabalites w/2 blasters & dark lance
2 raiders w/dark lance & splinter racks
2 venoms with double cannons

red grief patrol
succubus w/relic archite glaive or whip, blast pistol, adrenalight
6 reavers w/2 blasters or heat lances (?) and 2 grav talons taking hypex

So the idea is the reavers tie up the enemy with a huge turn 1 charge (maybe some leman russes or other artillery) and then I get to work shooting and kiting my opponent just out of optimal range until he commits his forces, when the succubus comes out swinging.

Think it'll work and is a decent starting spot? To build this I'm going to get 2 2016 start collecting boxes, 2 venoms and a succubus, along with the codex and datacards. Then when I get the newer 2018 start collecting box I'll have some wyches and more jetbikes to throw in.

Thanks in advance!

The patrol detachment is illegal, you need one troop unit and you have none. If you're going to grab venoms and a succubus, may as well grab one of the new start collecting boxes. That way you can either run 3 units of 3 reavers to make a red grief outrider detachment, or you can use the wyches from the new start collecting box to make a patrol.

As far as the rest of the list goes, looks alright for a starting list based on the start collecting boxes.

Thanks boss, totally forgot about that. Also, I didn't include the 2 venoms I am going to purchase in the original list. So I guess just drop the red grief stuff for now, until I can get a full outrider or patrol?

Makes sense.

hi, why you play 2 raiders if you have only 1 troop of 10 kabalites?

I guess if I do it that way I could pack both raiders full of kabalites and give each archon his own boat, eh?

maybe i misunderstand but 1 raider has 10 models capacity.
you have 10 kabalites, 2 archons and 2 raiders
how do you think to fill the 2 raiders??

I wrote down 2 units of 5 and a unit of 10, making 20 total.

but the 5-aelf units will be in the venoms? or are they for HQ's?

If you're going to take wyches, I'd say put 10 in a raider, put 10 kabalites in a raider and then you can use the venoms to transport the rest of the warriors.

Ya the idea was 2 units of 5 with one blaster in a venom, and then a unit of 10 kabalite with 2 blasters and a dark lance in a raider. However, I was saying that it would make more sense to make 2 units of 10 with 2 blasters and a dark lance, and pack the raiders up, leaving a venom for each archon. At least as a starting point.

I plan to get another kabalite start collecting and then the new wych start collecting, so I'll have 3 of each transport, 12 reavers, etc.
