I have my first game with the new codex tomorrow so I wanted to get some thoughts about the list I plan on bringing. Still kinda new to Dark Eldar all around...just been playing them for a few months.
I will be playing against a friend that loves to bring a hard DE counter in list ...not sure he will have it tomorrow, but I would bet he will have some form of it. (Farsight bomb with crisis suits each with Target lock. The unit will also have a commander that gives them ignore cover.)
Please let me know what you think or where improvments could be made.
HQ
Haemonculus - 145

The plan is that I would keep the raider with Grots and Haemonculus in reserve and hopefully come in right next to his farsight bomb to use the templates on them. After a round of shooting, use the TGL from the raider on them with the -2 leadership from the Armor of Misery on my HQ. That unit would then charge on the turn following the deep strike.
Warriors and Reavers would be mobile to take objectives as needed.
