1250 List

Recently I've started making a Dark Eldar army and have been playing around with some list ideas. after any kind of feedback

HQ

Succubus
Archite glaive
Haywire
wwp
Armour of misery
Animus Vitate

Troops

Kabalites, Blaster, Sybarite, Haywire, Venom
Kabalites, Blaster, Sybarite, Haywire, Venom

Fast Attack

6 Reavers, x2 Caltrops

Razorwing, no upgrades

Heavy Support

Ravager, 3 lances, Nightshields

Grotesquerire

Haemonculus, WWP, Syndriq's Sump
4 grotesques, 1 liquifer
4 grotesques, 1 liquifer

Succubus goes in with one squad of grots while the hamey goes with the other. try get the Animus Vitate off once she comes in. Considering swapping around the Reavers equipment. All comes to 1251 points

You can't take both the animus vitae and the armour of misery on the same model as the artefacts in the main codex are one per model.

I'd also be tempted to upgrade the dissies on the ravager to dark lances, as it's your only anti-air

oh my bad, well one of the two would be swapped out. Animus Vitate is good for boosting the grots closer to IWND once they come in. But the Armour of misery would combine with the grots -1 LD for a -3 bubble at 6". did you mean the razorwing? the ravager is upgraded to Dark lances. Without the second artifact I would upgrade the razorwing with dark lances.

I did mean the razorwing yeah, damn my typing fingers, they're hopeless at spelling!

Other than that think this list would fair okay against orks? that is my main competitor haha

I take it you've got extra cannons on the venoms?

Orks are almost certainly going to come at you - if this is a list specifically for them and not all-comers I'd definitely consider losing the WWP's - there's 70 points there that you won't need if your opponent is trying to get into combat, slow them down with firepower, protect those venoms at all costs (you might need them to claim objectives) and counter-charge - I'd even say if it looks like they might get in the first charge, sacrifice the warrior units - let them charge and wipe them out, they'll have to consolidate then and leave themselves open to being counter-charged by the grotesques in the next turn.

Thanks for the advice yes the venoms have the cannons. raider for the grots if not a WWP? otherwise they are footslogging it

I'd always take a raider for the Grots anyway, unless you want a big unit even if you turn up with a WWP they're not quick enough to force a charge unless you drop right in their faces, and if you do that then you're going to be facing a hell of a lot of firepower, or with orks possibly even just a charge against you (even T5 will not want a big mob of orks getting the charge)

i would need to shuffle the points around and dedicate a raider to each squad or a raider and wwp for one, thanks for the advice

No need to give the Raider a WWP. Give them Enhanced Sails instead; guaranteed charge on T2. With a WWP, it's T3 at the earliest.

thanks for the advice one other thing I'm unsure on is whether I'm able to disembark then charge after moving the raider 12? or am i restricted to moving 6 before disembarking?

This. We're the fastest race in the galaxy, but we can still only disembark at the same speed as Marines with a sluggish tank.

ahh what a shame, thanks for the clarification
