Many people are still using a 2nd edition(and 3rd, and 4th and most of 5th to this point) mindset using Incubi as bodyguard for their Archon. This is suboptimal for a couple reasons.
First, It ties up an extra Elite slot that could be spent on Trueborn(2 Lances, Raider with Lance and FF), which in turn, could free up Heavy Support slots for Talos or the new Flyers instead of running Triple Lance Ravagers.
Second, assaulting with Incubi and your Archon are overkill against most medium infantry, and heavy infantry should be the target of Wyches/Bloodbrides because Incubi are like a sharp knife, good for quick thrusts into soft tissue, but will break when trying to cut through a rock.
So what will fill the Bodyguard role? The Archon's Court. My Build is 5 Ur-Ghuls, 2 Sslyth and a Medusae, and Lhamaen in a Raider, of course. This gives a Plethora of Attacks that will wound easily, which makes this perhaps the 2nd best anti-horde unit in the Codex, and comes from a "free" FOC slot.
The wounds should be taken first on the Sslyth but be fore you lose a Ssylth, then, Lhaemean, Medusae and then The Ur-ghuls, the Sslyth should be the Last to Die do to its inherent flexibility.
