Ravager, nightshields, x 3 dark lance 115

Don't know whether to put 2 more wracks in the third squad or put more funky upgrades on the vehicles. Could drop the small wrack squad to put in the Baron for the stealth + PGL benefits in the grotesque unit

I've never played a list like this, but I don't think it would do well. I have used Wracks as objective holding but never for the bulk of my troops. The sheer amount poison shots Dark Eldar can put out each round is one of their strong points and you don't have a whole lot of splinter weaponry. I would consider swapping at least one of the troops on raiders for warriors and putting racks and flickerfields on the transports. And for the wracks taking them in a unit of 5 has more longevity like you mentioned. Also the TL liquifier is a beast, I'd recommend that on the Talos. There may be others who disagree about the troops but the liquifier is vital

Never played Coven myself, but are looking at the lists that people are puting up as I am starting to build one now myself.

But 10 grotesques seems abit overkill. Rather go for 2 groups of 5? But then again I like MSU so I would go for gruop of 5 wracks aswell...

I almost did a spit take when I saw 10 supper grots lol. Try sticking the lady in with the grots to protect their weak minds from jedi mind tricks. Model the grots as jabba the hutts and the lady as princess leia for extra lulz.

I would pay damn good money to see this!

Small wrack squads go in reserve, then come on and try to hide to suck and live on an objective - hopefully behind a wall/rock los blocking terrain. Deploy the super Grots in terrain hopefully, which yeah may slow them a little bit, but if thats a ruin then they are getting 3+ cover if I'm not going first.

Large wrack squad raiders deploy out of LOS hopefully and then use aethersails to slam forward first turn, and provide harrassment whilst Grotesques and Talos' pile forward

I considered the point of the liquifier on the Talos, but decided against it for the reason that Random attacks on the Talos is just too annoying, and since you have to replace a CCW on the talos for either chain flails or a liquifier, a Talos only has one CCW to replace, therefore can't have both so chain flails it is
