Why are we running an Archon in the first place? I would ask that first...but if I was running one I would do the agonized, obvious choice really.

What do you run instead of an Archon?
I run with the agonizer and blast pistol. It might just be because I usually play MEQs, but I have enough trouble wounding on 4's, I don't like to depend on rolling high to wound, and then my opponent failing their invulnerable save. Also, I like to have options with what I use to engage characters. Most lists will have one or two IC's, and monstrous creatures aren't all that common. If I take the huskblade, I'm basically dedicating my archon to killing that one thing to make it worth taking. And I find, especially with DE, you need to be flexible and think on your feet. Because if you're too predictable or assault the wrong thing at the wrong time, it can kill your game.
