| Hello there, been a lurker for a bit, started collecting dark eldar slowly a few months ago, but hadn't had many games with them.
I'm used to playing low model count elite armies, deathguard, chaos Logan wing, and then Draigo wing. Dark eldar are rather more squishy, but the idea of a wwp list has always apealed to me.
I have played a few games with this list.
Succubus, agoniser, blast pistol Haemonculus, wwp, liquifier x 2 4 wracks in a venom with extra splinter cannon x 2 15 wyches, 3 special weps, haywire grenades, hekatrix with agoniser 10 warriors, splinter cannon shredder 4 true born, 3 blasters x 2 3 reavers heat lance x 2 Talos twin liquifier twin heat lance Razorwing, dark lances, splinter cannon, night shield flickerfield
It's done alright, but I'm not happy wjth the wyches and succubus, and have been thinking of replacing them with the baron and 13 hellions with helliarch agoniser.

| I would suggest splitting you wych unit into 2: theres no point taking an uber unit because you actually WANT to still be in CC during the enemy turn so you are not shot at! Then in their assault phase you finish off the unit you originally assaulted freeing you up for a new target in your next turn Baron would prove sick from the WWP but needs a rejig with the rest of your units I'd say (though I'm no expert at Baron lists!) I'd also drop the shredder personally. The Reavers can only have 1 heat lance or 2 do you mean 2 units of them? | |

| Aye, I meant 2 squads of reavers with 1 heat lance The shredder was just for trying it out, as I had a spare 5 points in my first list. The wyches and succy were a mixed bag, gaining me a win vs nids (killed a tervigon and 2 termagant squads due to the backlash, wiping out 3 scoring units and gaining 3 pain tokens heh). But also not doing so well due to their str 3, I'm so used to having tough units being super survivable to to high toughness vs low str. I was aiming to design a close combat force, but I'm thinking that an equal mix would be good, hence the hellions. With the baron, these guys have several options, and speed, having a nice threat range from a wwp or my board edge. I have also toyed with the idea of incubi or harlequins and would like to try out scourges too, but I only have 3 scoring units if I go for a squad of them. Current refreshed list. Swapping the shredder for a blaster, adding grav talons to both reaver squads, and lowering the hellion squad to 10 strong. | |

| The only advice I'd give is with the baron and his unit of hellions, the more the merrier. Also, at least with the experience I've had fielding hellions, use them more as a mid range fire unit, and only charge when you're absolutely assured you'll win the combat without too many losses. they've got wych stats, minus the invul. save, and thats huge. But that's just my two cents. | |

| Had 2 games today with my revised list (10 hellions, baron and cluster caltrops to my reavers). Both against tyranids. First game was kill points, dawn of war. Made a few bad mistakes and had terrible luck (both reavers blade vaned and ended in difficult terrain, both lost 1 model each and then fled). I had never rolled that low in ages, it was actually rather amusing). I lost about 10 to 3-4 kill points.
Second game was seize ground, 5 objectives, dawn of war again. By the end of the 6th turn my opponent only had a wounded hive tyrant left, while I had 4 wracks in a venom, my razorwing, 4 trueborn in a venom and 10 warriors.
I'm not totally happy with the list, but I think that has to do with me not being used to playing with dark eldar, and trying to assault with them more then they should. | |
