500 to 1000 pt list

Goodmorning fellow raider, i'm just arrived in this forum 'cause my curiosity about dark eldar as playable race, incredible fluff and awesome model. I played in past khemri in WHFB, so i'm used to no really op army.

I would like to have advice on a list that can use the same model othat play in 500 pt. also at 1000.pt, because i'm a little on budget. I read a lot that axtually only venom spam is semi competitive and the Corpsethief formation can cause a little of problem at our enemy.


Alsow i would like you opinion about scourges at 500.pt and 1000 pt.


Thank you very much for helping this just arrived noob

Thing I hate about scourge is the box comes with 1 haywire blaster when you want the squad to run four. So Not good for being on a budget. otherwise they are good

With some minor modifications, you can make another using the front of a shredder from a Kabalite Warriors box, using a splinter rifle as the main section IIRC.

Venom Spam is probably our strongest list in mono Dark Eldar, but you'll want to play with a raider or two in many lists.

With Covens, Corpsethief is good; it is really scary and full of hurt. Have a look at the Dark Artisan formation too, its cheaper both to buy and fit into an army, and the Haemy can give you a webway portal so they can get where they need to be instantly.

 Play them! They're one of the best units in our current codex.

I suggest one squad of 5 if you're playing 500 points, and two squads of 5 if you're playing 1000 points. You can equip one with 4 haywires and the other with 4 blasters/heat lances. I prefer blasters for the extra strength and ability to stay further away from the target, but they're both ok choices.

If you did decide to start collecting Dark Eldar, I'd recommend a Battleforce and a squad of Scourges and a Venom. This will give you a mixed bag of things to build, paint and play with.
