Dark Eldar vs Space Wolves

Hello all,

Im new to DE and will be playing against a friend who has just started collecting Space Wolves. I personally have no idea about which units are worth their points cost and can deliver ( though i do know i would quite like some mandrakes ). My friends Space Wolves will largely consist of Terminators and awesome HQ's (and Lukas the Trickster). I would really appreciate any help or suggestions that could be given.

Thanks

Dear new DE player,

Do yourself a huge favour and don't bother with Mandrakes. There are a lot of people on this site, all with different convictions and beliefs on what makes a good DE army; but it is unanimously agreed upon that 'Drakes suck donkey balls.

SW are a tough nut to crack. My general advice would be: load up on anti-tank; when all enemy armor is down DLs still get decent value out of vapourizing infantry. And of course, if that fails, we have the ultimate in anti-marine assault: Incubi.

Ok thanks that actually helps a lot

But on another note, are Harlequins worth it? I know that they don't really fit into a nice fluff list but when playing against normal Eldar (those craft-world dwelling fools) the Harlequins went through my marines like a knife through warm butter...

This is my anti-marine list and it works pretty well.

Thanks for that that was very enjoyable to read . And as for the army list, how many points was that for? because i got 1748pts from that...

Ah ye i forgot to say, its for 1750 points.

I see, yes that does make sense
