The plan is quite simple, Warrior squad, mandrakes, and reavers and perhaps the Grotuesque raider start on the table along with the two WWP holding Haemonculi. Reavers work as a bait, along with the warrior squad. Reavers should turbo boost towards the enemy, either hugging cover or having faith in the invurn save (their sole purpose is to draw as much fire as possible). Warrior squad and Haemonculi FoF forward, same does haemonculi #2. Round two the two Haemonculi (opposing table sides preferably) stop, the warriors continue, either FoF-ing or simply moving and shooting. WWP opened at the end of turn 2. Mandrakes move towards at 6" each round. Grotesque raider, hugs cover before delivering the whole thing into the ranks of the enemy. Hopefully it will occupy large amounts of opponents.

Then the Taloi, Wyches, Raider squads along side the newly rewieled Mandrakes charge in to mop up.

Any pointers both towards the list and the tactic would be appriciated.

Ideally, you want your grots on foot, drawing as much fire as possible, this is what they're there for, also keeping your heamies close to the warriors but unattached is usually where they're safest

Are you looking for a Haemonculi-themed army???

[tves]

yeah, an haemonculi themed army was the general idea, but I really couldnt skip the Wyches so I added them in there. Trying to revise the list a bit, adding 2 SC's on the large Warrior squad, thinking about dropping the Wych raider and perhaps enlargen the squad (trust that the WWP gets them close enough to charge on the round of entrance). Also I'm thinking really hard on the purpose and use of the Mandrakes, since they are in my oppinion the "weakest" part of the army.
