| Subject: What should I do from here? Sun Aug 27 2017, 02:33 | |
| Hello folks
So this is going to be a bit of a long winded post but I need some input from people who know what they are talking about. I am a long time ork player and am just getting into dark eldar this edition because I have always liked the models and wanted to mix it up a bit from the greenies.
I managed to pick up a whole army lot that goes a little something like
3 raiders 1 ravager 1 razor wing 1 voidraven 2 venom 2 archon Succubus Lilieth 1 haemonculeus 20 kabs 9 reavers 10 blaster born 1 talos
Harlequins 15 players 2 shadowseer 2 deat jesters 2 skyweavers 2 troupe master 1 solitaire
And the full triumverate
My question is where should I go from here? I got a pretty good deal on the lot and the last couple $ I had set aside for this project I would like to round out the list. I don't have much money left over probably 50$ or so but will set aside some more in a month or two. Should I get a star weaver for a troupe, or maybe some scourges? I really don't know. I am attempting to play some much different from orks general game play and I would describe myself as a semi competitive player in a semi competitive to competitive environment (no cheese and we have a tournament or two every couple of months). I feel what I have at the moment is lacking in overall darklance firepower and cc cohesion but again I havent played with them yet just been trying to get everything assembled and painted and reading as many threads as I can.
Thanks in advance | |

| For your first purchase after this, I'd recommend a box or two of Kabalites. Looking at this, you have 50 spots avaliable on transports and only 30-35 people to fill them. A box of Kabs (even Wyches too, probably), will help you garner CPs more easily, and give you a nice core force to expand on. Scourges are an excellent choice for AT, and synergize very well with Ynnarri, but as you have a two fliers and a Ravager, AT isn't an immediate concern for you. I don't play Harlequins, but a Starweaver or two would certainly be a worthwhile choice. If you're not opposed to taking in Eldar allies, a Farseer Skyrunner will give you a mobile HQ with Doom, something that will add a very useful force multiplier to your offensive output. All of these options should be avaliable for under $50. For longer term purchases, I'd recommend another Ravager or two, Scourges, and some Beasts, particularly Clawed Fiends, Khymera, and of course a Beastmaster. The GW models for the Beasts are, honestly, unimpressive molds cast in unimpressive finecast, with an even more unimpressive price tag. It's easy to convert a Hellion to the Beastmaster, and there's plenty of guides here, and other places on the Internet, on kit bashing some unique and terrifying monstrosities for your force. Overall, I think you have a very decent core force here! The playstyles between Orks and DE are different in a lot of ways (we usually play something akin to a mechanized Kult of Speed), so if you haven't done so already, hopping into the tactics and listbuilding sections will help make the most of the models you have. | |

| Thanks for the great response! My plan is to have a 1850 pts list ready for November for a tournament a local shop is holding. | |
