Greetings Fellows of the Dark City!
I am looking for a new, fast army and my airbrush wants to see some dope looking vehicles to spray flames on...
I like the idea of a fast, (hopefully) hard hitting, glass hammer-like army that should be suited for competitive league/small tournaments with the new and old missions on the basis of mostly 1750 points. I don´t really care a lot about fluff, nor do I really like the meaty stuff (coven, wracks etc.).
After reading the new dex and a bit of online research, I came up with this first idea:
- army list:
Main detachment: Dark Eldar -> I might want to use the "real realm raider" detachment, sacrificing objective secured for a 4+/5+ cover safe (for troops/all the other raiders and ravagers) in round one. not sure about that...
*************** 1 HQ ***************
Archon
- CCW
- Splinterpistol
- Webway portal
- - - > 95 Punkte
-> gives precise deepstrike to firedragons in raider
*************** 3 Troops ***************
Kabalite Warriors
10 Kabalite Warriors
- 1 x Splintercanon
+ Raider
- Shadowlance
- Nightfield
- Splinterracks
- - - > 185 Points
Kabalite Warriors
5 Kabalite Warriors
- 1 x Shredder
+ Venom
- Splintercanon
- - - > 110 Points
Kabalite Warriors
5 Kabalite Warriors
- 1 x Shredder
+ Venom
- Splintercanon
- - - > 110 Points
-> I like the idea of a lot of poison- no clue if the Shadowlance on the raider makes sense...
*************** 2 Fast Attack ***************
Raider
- Shadowlance
- Nightfield
- - - > 75 Points
-> transport for fire dragons and archon
Raider
- Shadcannon
- Nightfield
- - - > 75 Points
-> transport for wraith knights
*************** 3 Heavy Support ***************
Ravager
- 3 x Shadowlance
- Nightfield
- - - > 140 Points
Ravager
- 3 x Shadowlance
- Nightfield
- - - > 140 Points
Ravager
- 3 x Shadowlance
- Nightfield
- - - > 140 Points
-> looks like decent anti tank to me
Allied Detachment: Eldar
*************** 1 HQ ***************
Spiritseer
- - - > 70 Points
-> no clue of what to do with him, yet. in this list he could only join the fire dragons and archon - does this make sense?
*************** 1 Elite ***************
6 Fire Dragons
- Exarch
- Firestorm
- - - > 152 Points
-> deepstrike precisely for good anti landraider etc. tactics - might not come in the round when needed most- do you think an autarch would bet he better hq to boost reserve rolls?
*************** 1 Troops ***************
5 Wraithguards
- Wraithcannon
- - - > 160 Points
-> in raider- can dish out a lot of dmg on troops (and vehicles) and are a bit more durable than the rest
*************** 1 Unterstützung ***************
Wraithknight
- Suncannon and Scattershield
- 1 x Scatter Laser
- - - > 300 Points
-> I like him because he is quite tough compared to the rest of my units. due to his weapons he can do a lot of s6 ap2 damage and i find their expense reasonable. I don´t want to do melee with this army, but he could potentially have a chance against weaker foes in cc, if the game requires this...
Total: 1747 Points
I think the list brings a lot of anti vehicle and MEQ/TEQ plus decent anti infantry venom stuff.
No stuff against air might be problematic- what do you think about Eldar Crimson Hunter or the Razorwing Jetfighter?
I also could potentially deep strike a lot, depending on the enemy (not so sure about that...).
I would be happy for any comments/suggestions
