Hello!
This is my first ever post on the forum and I'm not only new here, I'm also new to the 40k game.
I played a little bit back in 2nd - 4th edition, but with borrowed models and was never really into the game. However, since the 7th edition mission cards made me rethink my view of the game. Now it seems a lot more fun and it's not up to the biggest gun to do the most work. Now even if you lose half your army turn one, you can still score points, and win by kiting etc.
My overall idea and what I want is a mobile army, so Dark Eldar came as a natural pick.
After I was sat with friends and spoke of 40k, as we went through all the possibilities of the army, it's strengths and weaknesses, this list came to life when I got home to my man cave. And I have ordered just the things to run this list.
I'm going to post it first, and underneath talk a little bit about how I want to run it.
Why I post my ideas here is to get inputs by someone outside of my gaming group, to bring something new to my gaming community.
Before the list was created, I decided to create it with Comp in mind. This means, no more than 4 troop choices of the same kind and no more than 2 of anything else of the same kind. There are more balance parameters, though they do not effect Dark Eldar, who are seen as a "less" strong army.
Without further ado, here is the list.
Combined Arms Detachment
HQ 145p
Succubus
Webway Portal, The Arour of Misery, Archite Glaive
Elites 230p
3 Incubi
Venom w/ TL Splinter Rifle
3 Incubi
Venom w/ TL Splinter Rifle
Troops 555p
10 Kabalite Warriors w/ a Blaster
Raider w/ Disintegrator Cannon, Enhanced Aethersails, Nightshields, Splinter Racks
10 Kabalite Warriors w/ a Blaster
Raider w/ Disintegrator Cannon, Enhanced Aethersails, Nightshields, Splinter Racks
10 Kabalite Warriors w/ a Blaster
Raider w/ Disintegrator Cannon, Enhanced Aethersails, Nightshields, Splinter Racks
Fast Attack 426p
Razorwing Jetfighter w/ Dark Lance upgrades
Razorwing Jetfighter w/ Dark Lance upgrades
6 Reavers w/ 2 Cluster Caltrops, 2 Heat Lance
Allied Detachment
HQ 275p
Court of the Archon
10 Sslyths
1 Medusae
Troops 95p
5 Kabalite Warriors w/ no upgrades
Venom /w TL Splinter Rifle
Fast Attack 120p
5 Scourges w/ 4 Heat Lances
1846p
This is obviously a Sslyth bomb, the court to be web way portaled into battle with the Succubus.
This is the centre of the strategy with this list.
The second part is to fly around with 3++ jinked raiders with a lot of pew pew power to score objectives.
It's pretty straight forward, a fast moveing agile army with the tools to deal with pretty much anything.
Thoughts?
Comments and critique is very much appreciated.
