-I know the blaster for the archon is bit much especially since I'm going to let her (yes her! she's a archoness^^) walk amongst the wracks. I just want her to be able to take on vehicles if she has to-

Thanks in advance peeps...

edit: the haemi talos and cronos come in that coven formation -damn I forgot the name... dark partisan or sth?-

What are you trying to accomplish with your archon?

Gunboats: I'd get rid of the splinter cannon
Wyches: I'd get rid if the splinter wracks and add dark lances

What are you trying to accomplish with the wracks?

There are a few things I would change, but if you like certain units, example: wracks and wyches, just make sure they are in a transport and keep the units cheap. Your list would improve by adding some more dark light too. I like ravagers and would also consider adding blasters to your gunboats

If you want your Archon to pop tanks, I'd put him in a dedicated anti-tank unit, like Trueborn with blasters (which I don't use, personally, but they're a solid option with a webway portal). The Wracks can be a lot of fun, though aren't as good as they used to be now you can't make them troops. As an elite option they do fall a little flat, but you can still get some good mileage out of them (they can be a surprisingly good tarpit, with quite a sting in the tail too). They aren't really tough enough or offensive enough to cushion your HQs though. One blaster shot, high ballistic skill regardless, is probably not going to achieve much, unfortunately...

Those Wych squads are very expensive. Very. Wyches are a difficult unit to get much use out of, and you have a big chunk of points invested in them. Just one of your wych units is more expensive then the unit of Incubi I like to run, and even lacking grenades, Incubi will outperform them. Although they're pricier, they'll actually kill stuff, whereas Wyches are just a speed bump. If you're really set on having some in the list, I'd suggest keeping one unit (but dropping the Hekatrix, she's so expensive) and getting a unit of Incubi to replace them. They're characterful and killy bodyguards for your Archon, and the Wyches can hopefully hold something up for long enough to let the Incubi charge in and actually do something (as they won't suffer the intiative penalty for charging through terrain if it's into an ongoing combat). With just five Incubi, you can easily save enough points to give your Archon a second webway portal and position the unit for the juiciest charge. In this list, it looks a little like you want your Archon to hopefully explode a tank or kill a Terminator, then charge and hold his own in combat. That's a lot of mileage to expect from one toughness 3 guy. He's one failed save away from being smeared all over the table by a scatter laser, so I think optimising him for one thing and one thing alone would be a better idea. An agoniser and soul trap has seen some favourable reviews, and giving him a webway portal means he can pick his target for close combat. The Armour of Misery is a very good piece of wargear, though I think it might be overkill here. I use it on a Succubus because it's better than the T-shirt armour save she would get otherwise, but for him I'd give him either the shadowfield or the armour. For practical purposes you're paying to make him cause fear (potentially useful, but not game winning) and debuff leadership. He should only really be charging into fights you're sure he can win comfortably, as Dark Eldar really do not do well in protracted combats, so the negative modifier on leadership probably isn't going to be that useful for him. Hit hard then get the hell out of there, essentially! If you want to have him shooting, he needs to be a good deal more mobile. It's alright for the Craftworlders, with their move shoot run nonsense, but that's far too tiring for us - we prefer to ride in style Wink Knocking off a Warrior would let him ride in a Raider, or for ultimate luxury you could have him ride in a personal Venom. Pew pew pew!
