Dark Eldar & Realspace Raiders for Tournament...

Need help gents... Working on my list for Caledonian Uprising in the UK next year, what do you think of the 2 lists below...

Problem I have is that I want to take 3 Reapers and 3 Ravagers so I need to take Primary + Detachment. This means no Eldar and therefore no Autarch for 2+ so I need a Comms Relay really for rerolls as I cannot rely on getting the Warlord Trait from the Dark Eldar book.

Reapers really need the Flickerfield as otherwise I cant shoot the Haywire Cannon (if I jink), also they need deepstrike and as its old rules I have to pay pts for Retrofire Jets.

I COULD drop the Lances off the Razorwings but that leaves me with no anti air.

Any suggestions???

Both lists have merit and the only difference is the Scourges being dropped in Favour of Trueborn. This sort of make sense as in the Bastion I can shoot the Bolters and the Splinter Cannons with the Unit. Problem is the Warlord is flimsy with a 5+ save and if the Bastion gets whacked they are all likely to die inside it giving FB rather easily...

I much prefer the list with the Solarite but without FF on the Reapers they are likely to be turned into pieces of scenery very easily...

The list is designed to take advantage of (and be an extension of) my deep strike list. The Reapers are amazing and I am taking them mainly for killing Wave Serpents (Draw a line, pick a random model as the target so they cant jink, yarr!).

There is nothing in the rules that say unites in transports that jink have to snap shoot. So jink all you want. Otherwise I don't like the 10 pt hq but it's legal so no real complaints.

How do you even use retrofire jets? They are not in the codex so how do you get the rules?

Reaper has forgeworld rules

There are no units in it, the Reaper is a Heavy Support choice.

My fault I assumed u ment the dark reapers from eldar. Inside a venom. My fault don't use forge world all that often
