Seems to me you can drop the splinter racks (does anyone in your army even *have* a rapid fire weapon?) and I don't think Grisly Trophies or Phantasm Grenade Launchers are especially useful, either, especially not on vehicles that probably won't last the whole game. So you've got a lot of points you can free up.

Okay, I see you're playing by Power Level, so the point costs don't actually matter, here.

I think *all* Hekatrixes should have Blast Pistols (certainly over Phantasm grenades).

The issue I have with Grisly Trophies/Phantasm Grenades is that its presuming your transports will be within 3" of the enemy in the shooting phase for the grislies to work and, therefore, allow your phantasm grenades to clean up. I don't think you're going to manage that all that often, since the priority is to get your guys into combat ASAP, which usually leaves the transports behind by a bit. Now, since this is a PL game and you get all that stuff for free, you may as well.

The other thing I would have said (were this a matched play game) is to upgrade one of your Succubi to a Master Succubus and get the Dancer's Edge to slaughter Primaris, but you can't start a Crusade like that, so...never mind.

As a final note, Heat Lances are better than Blasters, for the most part, since the advantage of Blasters is that they're Assault, but you don't exactly *need* to advance and shoot with your Reavers most of the time to get in range, anyway, and the added damage from the Heat Lances is really handy for blowing up dreadnoughts, rhinos, and anything with a hefty wounds characteristic.

Thanks for the reply. I jyggled back and forth on the blasters vs heat lances. Dont we get penalized for moving and shooting a heavy weapon? Thanks

Bikes don't, no. The penalty only applies to Infantry.

Oh, also about Reavers: I feel like I'd go either double grav-talon or double cluster caltrops. If the goal is to tie up a unit in CC and not let them fall back, nuking them with mortal wounds before you make your attacks is often counterproductive. Give them Painbringer, have them soak in combat, and then keep the enemy from leaving.

If you're stacking them for straight offense (as you seem to be with Grave Lotus + Cursed Blade + Bladevanes), then go all-in with double grav-talons and try to eliminate the unit in the first place.

I'm also not so sure how much a 50/50 chance of a single mortal wound is going to deter a Primaris unit from falling back, anyway.

Yeah, Agonizers *look* cool, but they just aren't so good, particularly on Cursed Blade wyches. I mean, you're already wounding pretty much everything short of vehicles or monsters on 4s or better, anyway. Power swords are definitely superior.
