1850 Haemonculus Coven List

Having taken on board the advice you lot shared in the tactics section, I've written a list that I'm fairly happy with. Bear in mind that this is my first list, so it will likely need some adjusting. All feedback welcome.

TOTAL = 1850

I like it, plenty of AI firepower and some nasty stuff up close, including options for dealing with hordes. The only problem, and it's one that coven lists will always struggle against, is if you opponent brings a decent amount of mech. Two haywire blasters, a heat lance and combat are your only AT options. Not really sure how you combat that effectively though with an all-coven force, short of changing the scalpel squadrons to units in raiders, but then you lose your AI firepower instead.

It's a headscratcher certainly!

Thanks, Burning Eye. To be honest,  I doubt I'll be facing many Mech armies. If I do, though, I'll just have to cope. Haha.

Can Dark Eldar take Chaos Marines and Daemons as allies? I've got plenty melta-toting Plague Marines and Plaguebearers I could take along for the ride... the "Touch of Rust" rule works a treat against armour.
