Hello everyone!! I've been out of the game for a while (only 1 game in 7th and haven't played steady since the beginning of 6th), but i had a look through my buddies dex and got re-hooked! Anyway, I tried my hand at what i think will be a decently competitive list if any of the more experienced players here would like to give it a look over. (disclaimer***I don't have my codex in front of me, i'm at work and have been borrowing my buddies, so I'm still a little fuzzy on some of the rules. I'm using battle scribe to put the list together)
Archon, Huskblade, soul-Trap, shadowfield, Parasites Kiss-140
Court: 2x Lhamean, 1x Medusae, 4x Sslyth, Raider, Dissie, Sales, NS-220
Trueborn (5) 4x Blasters, Venom, 2x Splinter Cannon-180

Ravager 2x DL, 1x Dissie-120

Now, a couple of things, I'm not sure if I would be better off using the realspace raiders detachment, or just a regular old cad, objective secure vs a couple 1st turn buffs, honestly a tossup for me. The other thing, I don't seem to remember looking at the new stats for a dissie cannon, I kind of just assumed they stayed the same (now i feel dumb) anyway, is it worth it to upgrade the raiders to lances, or are dissies still the terminator killing heavy bolter it was from 5th edition? I'd like to find the points for more bodies for the scourges, any suggestions where to trim? Due to the loss of aerial assault, I figured a more generalist setup would be worth it on the ravagers, I tend to play more mobile so I'll probably be snap firing the third one most of the time anyway, why bother paying for it. I wanted to give the court of the Archon a try, and if I'm not mistaken about the new rules, 4 Sslyth should make the unit majority toughness badass and put out good shooting and decent cc attacks.
I went ahead and wrote up a second list as well, making a bigger use of the realspace raider detachment that I think I'll go ahead and post it here and see which is better
Succubus, Armor of Misery, Archite Glaive-110
Incubi (4) Venom, 2x Splinter Cannon-145
Warriors (5) Blaster, Venom 2x Splinter Cannon-120
Warriors (5) Blaster, Venom 2x Splinter Cannon-120

This one is all about the fast attack. Tons of fire power, fliers galore, and a ton of AP2 cc from the succubus and the incubi. I lose a lot of my AT power, but I think its going to do a little better in terms of positioning. I'll be running circles around most armies. Downside is that I'd have to buy 3 fliers and I think my wallet just let out an audible groan. Anyway, any comments or critiques are welcome. Which do you think would fare better in 7th edition? What, if anything, would you change about either list? Thanks in advance!!
