Crusade 1000pts of "Friendly" Dark Eldar

Ive got a Crusade starting this weekend, mostly against newer players, but still want to bring my True Kin.

This is what I came up with, trying to combine both Thematic and “Friendly” into one list. The most “Friendly” way I can imagine running Dark Eldar is with a Coven patrol. Briefly considered running nothing but Blades For Hire, but decided Incubi/Draz is just too good. Kabal also seems better than Coven, and obviously Cults are out of the question.

Profits of Flesh Patrol

Haemonculus – Vexator Mask, Diabolical Soothsayer
2x10 Wracks - ECW on Acothyst
2x3 Grotesques
5 Scourges - 4 shredders
2x1 Talos – Ichor Injector, Talos Gauntlet, Dual Heat Lance
2 Raiders

I really wanted to use my Haemoxytes due to a decent conversion, but I need to level up my Crusade first.

What do you Archons think? Still too “Competitive”? Is there any way for me to un-tune this more?

My first thought was: Easy going list? I go Kabal. But the result really isnt a funny list:

No way this list is fun for anybody else than the player...

Edit:
It was like, first my Archon. Then I need Kabalites. Way too cheap. Take 10 more. A bit CC. How about some Incubi?
Thats the basics. Now the Archon needs a ride. Way too cheap. A ride for everyone? About 200pts left?
Kabal only? OK, a Ravager then. Still some pts left? Outfitting the Raiders...

Haha, I see you went thru the same thought process as I did.

"Well, I have a few point left, lets throw in some Incubi. Well, I will need a few more Raiders. Then some more Lances.

Oops, this is suddenly a pretty competitive list XD"

The list turned out to be really fun to play. Nothing seemed too OP vs an 8th edition codex army. Was a real pleasure to play on a real table with a real opponent again

What did the other players field?

A fluffy Word Bearers army. Lots of variety.

Ended up playing The Ritual, with the Word Bearers performing rites at a DE site, while the DE monsters tried to stop them. Very thematic and enjoyable. Always nice to see fully painted armies on a fully painted board. Made my soul happy (briefly, before Slannash sucked it dry again )

Oi! I really like the Word Bearers. I even play them at the Legion Handygame. Please keep me up to date, how your crusade goes on.
