2000pt pure dark eldar

First attempt witht the new codex.... not a huge coven fan so trying out mostly kaballite.....one note although I have a succubus it will be a "counts as" arching for fluff purposes..also using dual cad

Haemonculus....wwp

5 scourges...4 haywire

8 mandrakes

Ravager....dissies

Razorwing....night shields

Razorwing...night shields

6 reavers....2 cluster (not sure whether to split these into 2 units)

Comes to 1999.

First point: You can't take the armour of misery and the helm of spite on the same model. Otherwise looks reasonable. The only reservation i'd have is dependant on how much you're planning on reserving. Nothing really tough there if your opponent gets into you on turn 1 and you're keeping a lot in reserve.

Can the Succubus take both the Glaive and the agoniser? Thought that was just a standard GW cock up?

Also might be a typo but Trueborn cant take haywire blasters. Maybe drop them to a squad of 5 and use the saved points to put nightshields on the raiders. Perhaps to give you a bit more survivability. Keep the reavers as one!

heres my updated list...took on board some of what had been said. did not realise that only one relic could be taken and that true born could not take haywire blasters, one of the hazards of a new codex i guess....3 points over but my gaming groups is normally fine with 5 points either way.

Looks good! Best of luck!

after a recent couple of games I've revised this list and gotten rid of stuff that did little to nothing in both games (played against marines and guard)
i know the succubus with agoniser and glaive is still being question however my gaming group has allowed it stating GW clearly intended it to be allowed.
bikes were amazing last game, combat drugs played a massive role last two games on my lone bike unit first picking up +1 T then +1 A i know this won't happen every game but because of this I'm having massive trouble deciding between the 8 blood brides or 5 incubi....

many thanks to any repliers!!!

Looks good, deep strike the medusae down, melt marines. The succubus may still be more effective with Incubi. Combining all the AP 2 together can help with dynamics. It means if you do throw yourself into marines or terminators you can really wipe the floor with them. Creates a scary unit!
