Email in: Dark Eldar 2k list review



"Like the blog here is my list for review. I have been playing around with things and I tried this list today against Nids. I wanted more shooting and more targets. Your opinion is appreciated. Will be playing in a tourney in January and am looking to play one list until then. I think it is easy to get down to 1850 for other tourneys we run around here.

HQ
Haemonculus - Shattershard, Hexrifle = 80

Troops
Warriors x 20, 2 DL, Sybarite, Shredder = 255
Warriors x 5, Blaster = 60
Warriors x 5, Blaster = 60
Warriors x 5, Blaster, Venom, Dual Cannons = 125
Warriors x 5, Blaster, Venom, Dual Cannons = 125


Elites
Trueborn x 4, 3 Blasters, Venom, Dual Cannons = 158
Trueborn x 4, 3 Blasters, Venom, Dual Cannons = 158
Harlequins x 8, Shadowseer, 2 Fusion Pistols, Kisses = 226

Fast Attack
Scourges x 5, Haywire Blaster = 130
Beastmasters x 4, 4 Kyomera, 1 Fiend, 4 Razorwings = 196
Beastmasters x 4, 4 Kyomera, 1 Fiend, 4 Razorwings = 196

Heavy Support
Ravagers, Flickerfield = 115
Ravagers, Flickerfield = 115

Loved the feel. Only immobile unit is 20 man warrior squad and it is a backfield holder basically guaranteeing 2 Dark Lance shots all through the game. I know the Harlie unit is a point sink but love playing with them and pretty much have to need to include them no matter what. Haemonculous is all I could fit in. I put the two wargear for use against deathstar units to help get rid a lot of points for minimal investment. Also gives FNP to 20 man warriors which is important. You opinons would be great."


I think you'll find this is quite similar to the Venom Spam list I recently posted but with some obvious changes. I think the main thing you need to work on is getting Venoms for the small Warrior squads on foot (otherwise they are unfortunately pretty useless), perhaps a WWP for the Haemon (drop the other wargear) which the Beastmasters and Harlies can come through if you wish and if possible another Ravager. However, you're not going to be able to fit all of that in and I think the most important part is adding in Venoms for those on foot 5 man warrior squads. Easiest way to do that is drop the Scourges completely. You lose a bit of suppression capabilities but the Warriors aren't exactly useless any more. You can always make these squads ride around in Raiders to cover for only two Ravagers as you've got a lot of anti-infantry with 4 Venoms, Beastmasters and Harlequins but the extra poisoned shots won't go amiss.
