Hi everyone!
Everyone has a different idea of how a Dark Eldar list should be constructed, and every build is valid. Many people adhere to the MSU theory of flooding the field with cheap units, while others think Leadership shenanigans with a Freakshow build is the way to go. I'd love to know how other people like to construct their armies, especially with tournament play in mind. So, let's see what everyone would bring to the table! What do YOU consider to be the ideal build?
Here's the army I'm working on now:
Dark Eldar Double CAD 1850 Points:
HQ:
Medusae in Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 90 points
Medusae in Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 90 points
Medusae in Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 90 points
Medusae in Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 90 points
Troops:
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
5 Kabalite Warriors w/Blaster in Raider - 110 points
Fast Attack:
Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 65 points
Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 65 points
Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 65 points
Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 65 points
Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 65 points
Venom w/Splinter Cannon - 65 points
This list comes up to 1850 points exactly. It has 20 ObSec units with 10 raiders and 10 venoms. Yes, it's a boring spam list, but that's the way I prefer to play. Since everything is mounted in a vehicle, I can choose to deep strike with as much or as little as I want depending upon my opponent.
I suffer against flyers, but in my experience, Razorwings just aren't good enough to guarantee air superiority. I think it's better to concentrate on the ground game, and capture objectives. I use Medusaes because I'm starting to see more and more 2+ Jink save units, and an AP3 flamer is extremely useful against those units.
So, what would you guys bring to a tournament?
