| Good God man! Isn't that just under (min)600pts? 40% of your army in one AV10 open-topped transport? | |

| Taking the two most expensive Hq's, and put them together with the most expensive elite choice? Sounds like you played some MEQ armies.
But this is ain't MEQ. The Dark Eldar are completely different, better if you will, than MEQ armies. So you should also treat them different. This begins with building your army. We live to tell the tale because we use masses of weaker soldiers, rather than a few strong ones.
I have never seen such a expensive choice work with 1.5k, even in MEQ's it's tricky. But as the optimist as I am, I would also like to say that if you like the idea of it, try it. If it doens't work you'll get slaughtered and we say: "Told you so". If you get an epic win, you can brag here and tell us you have found the next big thing in DE history. (of course we wouldn't believe you after 1 battle; just to much randomness)

| I just today ran vect and the dais with 3 haemon and 26 wracks in raiders all in a 1000 pt game and he worked well. Alot of killing force but In no way over kill. I took out karn, a bunch of plauge maries and bezerkers in 3 rounds of combat. Then used him to nom threw 20 gargoils a parisite of mortex and 5 ripper swarms. The dais is WORTH the 200 pts for the 13 all around. | |

Perhaps in friendly play with non-tourney level lists, but AV 13 is a joke to any competitive build worth the paper it's printed on. | |

| Vect is a possible strong contender in a 1500 point list, but Vect and Drahzar together is a poor idea, and the problems can likely be summed up in a simple sentence: For the same points, you could get more power with cheaper units. 600+ points? A landraider on Vect, then toss him in with a gang or two of Wyches in Raiders. Superior mobility, and you'll kill plenty while the Wyches absorb power weapons and instant death between their invul saves and the first pain token. Vect is going to kill enough models on his own so that even without the Incubi, you will wind up with a wound balance in your favor every turn.
There is only one unit that I could see your list doing well against that it might do better against elsewhere: massed Death Company. But think: when was the last time you saw a DC squad with 20+ models in it? | |
