As Aspirant Snaper already mentioned the additional artefact will help you in Places of Power. That beeing said, a lot of high placing tournament lists seem to run either no battalion at all or Slaugther Troupe. So the daughters seem to be doing just fine without battalions, but that shouldn't deter you from playing one of the other battalions if you want to.

I feel like you are probably a little light on Hag Queens and a Bloodwrack Medusa without shrine might be a tad squishy. The thing with Shadow Patrol is it eats up a lot of points, nearly 1100 in your list, which doesn't leave a lot of room for other troops. If you are set on using Shadow Patrol and Snakes I would probably cut one unit of Blood Sisters and the Sisters of Slaughter. I would use the points to add two units of Witch Aelves, an additional Hag Queen and either increase the size of your left over Blood Sisters to 15 or add another Hag and put your Medusa on a Bloodwrack Shrine. Both options would leave you with 30 pts for potential endless spells. Then again I am also new to the daughters, so take everything said with a grain of salt ?. Also, if you are set more on Shadow Patrol than snakes @Aspirant Snaeper had an interesting concept for a Shadow Patrol list without snakes a few pages back. If you are ok with skipping the battalion, you could also look at one of @Scythian's snake only lists, cut a few snakes and add Doomfire Warlocks instead.

@Aspirant Snaeper The list looks crazy (in a good way). Reminds me of old hit and run Dark Elf lists withs lots of Dark Riders. Would you value the additional CP higher than the extra unbind and command ability of a slaughter queen? EDIT: Nevermind. Totally forgot that Doomfires can also unbind. Well in this case an additional unbind is probably not needed. @DantePQ really looking forward to the results of your playtesting. I was messing around with Lifetakers, Cauldron Guard and Chronomatic Cogs, too (in Hag Narr though). In the end I wasn't sure if all the "work" was worth it for the Lifetakers, since I feel like they are just more mobile Witch Aelves. So I am definitely interested in how they will be doing in your list ?. @Tasman Grats on your victory!

I am at the painting stage myself atm. And it's going painfully slow ? First of all, I really like your colour scheme! I am always a fan of blue schemes and I think the skin tone matches really well to the rest of your scheme. That being said I prefer the White with Drakenhof Nightshade for the hair. I think it's more coherent with the rest of the scheme. Regarding the skin highlight: I think the skin looks pretty good as is. If you want to go for a lighter skin tone maybe change your painting order to Mechanicus Standard Grey -> Drakenhof Nightshade -> Highlight of Mechanicus Standard Grey -> Edge hightlight of Mechanics Standard Grey and Celestra Grey mix. You could also just add another layer of highlights with celestra grey before shading in your current painting order. If you don't want to mess around with painting eyes you could also think about giving them glowy blue eyes. I feel like it would go really well with the scheme.
