Is Skysplinter Assault plus Kabalite Agonysts legal?

Yes, at 2,000 points. Skysplinter Assault is 2 DP and Kabalite Agonysts is 1 DP, using the full 3-DP budget. Kabalite Agonysts carries the KABAL Unique Tag, but Skysplinter Assault carries no tag at all, so the no-shared-tag rule is satisfied.

Why not pair Kabalite Agonysts with Kabalite Cartel instead?

Because it is illegal. Both carry the KABAL Unique Tag, and no two detachments in your army may share a tag. The Faction Pack states the restriction in the Contracted Harvest rule text itself, and the Munitorum Field Manual lists the tag on both. Skysplinter Assault is the untagged 2-DP core that buffs the same models.

How many buffs does a disembarking Kabalite squad actually get?

Two for free and a third for a command point. Rain of Cruelty gives Ignores Cover on its ranged weapons for the turn, Contracted Harvest gives Sustained Hits 1 against non-Monster, non-Vehicle targets, and the Skyborne Annihilation stratagem upgrades a Kabalite Warriors or Hand of the Archon unit that disembarked this turn to Sustained Hits 2.

Does this combo work at 1,000 points?

No. At 1,000 points you only have about 2 DP, which Skysplinter Assault uses on its own. This is a 2,000-point list. At 1,000 points you would run Skysplinter Assault alone, or Kabalite Agonysts plus one other 1-DP detachment such as Exhibition of Slaughter or Tools of Torment.

What handles Vehicles and Monsters in this list?

Dedicated anti-tank, because both detachment rules skip those targets. Contracted Harvest excludes Monsters and Vehicles outright, and Rain of Cruelty's Ignores Cover does nothing about Toughness or saves. Build in Ravagers with dark lances and lance-armed Scourges, and treat them as a separate job from the splinter fire.

Warhammer 40,000 11th edition lets Drukhari combine detachments out of a Detachment Point budget. This page covers the pairing that stacks most cleanly: , a transport detachment bolted to the Kabal shooting detachment so that a single Kabalite squad stepping off a Raider collects three separate upgrades in one shooting phase.
