Do you already own all the models on this list?

The Kabalite Warriors are going to struggle on foot, because they are very fragile and have a small range.  Your Trueborn also have an issue, because they are trying to do 2 things - splinter cannons are great for infantry, but blasters are great for vehicles.  If you shoot at one, you are wasting the shots which are suited for the other.

If I was you, I would swap that second Raider for 2 Venoms.  Drop the Trueborn for 5 more Warriors with a Blaster, to give you a bit of mobile anti-tank which is scoring.  Alternatively (and if these are the only models you have), drop the Trueborn to 3 with 2 Splinter Cannons (or even 2 Dark Lances) and use them to sit back and shoot up the enemy at range.  Add the spare bodies to the Warrior squad and stick them in a Raider with Splinter Racks for a mobile Gunboat.  Keep the Blaster in that squad in case you need to take a pot shot against a vehicle.
