New to "thedarkcity" and Dark Eldar in general.

Hah that's kind of funny actually. Nothing like having a dog around to eat some GW gold every once in awhile.

I'll tell my dog you said hello. After I let her loose in a GW executives house.

I mean: "Yeah"

Ah the dangers of minions, my dear minions have to be watched constantly as they're used to nomming space marines (while I laugh manacingly) here's one admiring my Archon Palace

On a serious note though Dark Eldar are great but thanks to GW nerfing pretty much EVERYTHING they're notoriously difficult to play. I'm still learning the rules of 40K having only started playing as a protest to Age of Sigma so I'm not surprised I haven't ever won (my army's also very small, less than 1500). Don't bother with Wychs they've been nerfed to the point that they're only use is as canon fodder. On the plus side though our fighter jets are cheap in comparison to other armies the Voidraven Bomber is only 160 points and you can upgrade to a Dark Scythe (blast weapon so good for taking out troops) for free. The other thing I'd recommend is Scourges, they're jump infantry so they have Deep Strike and if you equip them with heavy weapons they can do some serious damage. If I think up anything else I'll let you know.

Ah yes, the many breads of "Warhound Scout Titan" that exist to make our lives rcher. I found my mate's chocolate lab happily munching on one of my CSM terminators. the chew marks actually made it look like it'd been through the warp.

Razorwing jet = awesome. I've tormented my mate's Dark Angels with it so much (11 dead Deathwing terminators in our last game) that he's going out of his way to field an anti-flyer element in his army lists... distraction razorwing? It's worked beautifully.

Y'know what the best unit is? Hellions. They look great!




AHAHAHA, Maybe in 8th to raise model sales.. Ahah, Ohh. Never. Gw would rather stick a Pilosocereus in their rear.

Hellions are good but they don't have a lot of upgrades they can only take the splinter pods on their boards so once you deep strike better attack and get out of there fast! They have Hit & Run so its doable but you gotta be prepared to take losses. I've gotten better use out of my Reavers personally (6 models with hammer of wrath and hit & run, yes please)

Personally I found a good unit is Kabalite Trueborn, I have a very naughty thing which I use ESPECIALLY when up against Tau. Take a unit of Kabalite Trueborn and give them all Splinter Canons then stick them on a raider (if you add Splinter racks say hello re-rolls) and drive it around with the crew just ripping into everyone. Seeing the smug smirk of Tau players turn to jaw dropping really works for me, they keep a straight face but inside they're dying, that gives me a nice tingly feeling

I like that Idea, Also like the idea of using Beast-masters (nothing but) Instead of hellions.

I've not used beastmasters before so I can't say if they're any good in game, keep me in the loop if they're good. Also remember flyers are your friends.

You could convert Grotesques to be thematically based on grafted Gymnocalycium hybrids. Maybe have the upper body of Wrack emerging from between their shoulder blades or something.
