"Hey Kirby
Thought I'd run by my 1750 list I made for the Dark Eldar by you. I'll put the list up then explain how I imagine this going:
Archon: clone field, power weapon, agoniser = 100
Incubi x 4 = 88
Venom: Splinter cannon = 65
Mandraks x 5 = 75
Kabilte True born x 5: 2 dark lance = 110
Venom: Splinter Cannon = 65
Kablite warrior x 10: dark lance, sybarite, blast pistol = 140
Raider: Night shield = 70
Kablite warrior x 10: dark lance, sybarite, blast pistol = 140
Raider: Night shield = 70
Kablite Warrior x 5: blaster = 60
Raider: Splinter Cannon = 65
Kablite Warrior x 5: blaster = 60
Raider: Splinter Cannon = 65
Reavers x 3: Heatlance = 78
Reavers x 3: Blaster = 81
Ravager:Night shields = 115
Ravager:Night Shields = 115
Razorwing Jetfight: Splinter Cannon, Nightshield, 2 neuro toxin missiles = 175
Total 1732
35 troops
15 vehicles
Idea is to have the two 5 man squads hold home objectives and shoot anything that get too close. Venom acts as support.
the two 10 man squads run up and claim the enemy objectives along with Archon for added combat punch.
Reavers and trueborn act as counter units and help out where needed.
Ravagers pop mech.
Razorwing tries to kill as many troops as possible. Mainly against horde type units.
Anyway, what do you think?

What weapons do the backfield Raiders have? Or are they meant to be Venoms? Because Raiders cannot have Splinter Cannons. Anyway the list overall is okay but a few things. The large Warrior squads would really be better off with Blasters instead of the Sybarite + Blast Pistol combo which also saves points. The Mandrakes in this army aren't really doing anything as they are going to be left behind by your initial Mech. I'd try and turn this into another Lanceborn + Venom combination. I'm not a personal fan of small Incubi squads - even killing two makes them pretty useless in combat. I'd see if you can make this squad bigger and put them in a Raider and then add some Shock Prows around. Issue at this point is going to be points.
Otherwise you could forego the Archon + Incubi concept - grab a Haemonculus and a Beastmaster squad and potentially run some small Wrack squads in Raiders as more Troops. If you want to keep the Archon though I'd be looking to make that squad bigger and run a Shadowfield with him as well. Otherwise combine the Reaver squads with two heat lances and flickerfields are generally your better bet on the Ravagers since Night Shields are best against medium to short-ranged weapons.
