| Hello fellow patrons of DE! I must firstly say how impressed I am from the modelling of dark eldar. I walked into my local hobby store after seeing a friend buy a IG battleforce. I went in with NO knowledge of playstyle, rules, or any know how of 40k, but after browsing I became frozen in place, mindlessly staring @ the DE battleforce. After staring into the void for a bit, I asked players at the store about basic playstyle of DE, and after hearing how serious they can be in the right hands after a bit of XP, I was sold! Since then I've come to gather the following models; Archon / haemy / lahmaen / 10 hellions / an xtra raider or ravager " I magnetized xtra bits for it to be ravager cuz I'm not loaded"/ wracks / incubi /venom / razorwing jetfighter/ talos /, and converted Baron on top of the battleforce. " ask for pics of baron if interested". Also cuz I don't have a full court, I am planning on converting lhamaen to rather Succubus, lelith, or lady malys ( input on Lhamaen conversion would be helpful! )
Battleforce = 10 kabs / 10 wyches / 3 reavers jetbikes / 1 raider " also magnetized to become ravager ". Just incase ppl don't have the exact battleforce contents info on hand. Now I haven't really decided the direction of my army, but I know I often play against mech IG parking lot more than others at my local hobby shop. I truely enjoy using my 10 hellions w helliarch and baron, although I'm not going to make a hellions carnival list. Ive found sharing tokens from hambone and wracks to baron and the chain gang " hellions ", works out well. Since I don't have $ as of now to buy more vehicles, I'm thinking a wwp list may be suitable. Only issue is I can only have 2 wwp since I only own Archon and haemy. This is also a topic of concern. Is there any true reason not to run 1 Archon and 1 haemy as supplying the warps? I barely see ppl w these units. Also, I know, I know, I have to get another haemy,and D.T., but as of now I gotta work with what I have. I'm looking to make a 1k and 1.5k list. As said, I know I need more units and will get them, but gotta wrk w what I got. HELP!?!
As far as modeling, I currently have all 10 wyches to paint with a coordinated theme, and finish my kabs and wracks " I have my acothyst model painted if interested to give feedback!". Also I'm thinkin seriously of converting a Duke. I would do a vect, but as of where I stand w my current collection, I think that should be done another day.
Last subject matter, THEME/ FLUFF. now, I'm not a huge fluff kinda Guy, eg. While playing video games, I skip the cinematics. Lol.. Buuut, in this case, I do want to have somewhat of a cool and original-ish army background. Any advice would be huge. I know that this site is the place to find good players/ people that are usually willing to give a hoot:p
So yea, this about wraps up my pending concerns and issues. Thanks guys! -Food for thought- | |

| Welcome, I'm certain may of your questions will be answered on here(just skimming through here whilst I should be working *coughs*). Love to see some pics of your painting.
WWP armies are viable to play but I'd say take more WWP's than you think you'd need. Having the WWP models shot before deploying is a royal pain... | |

| Welcome to Commoragh, always nice to have another soul around the place. Join the realspace lounge at the bottom of the page, great place to bounce fluff ideas around with the other memebers who are online before you set about writing it. I look forward to seeing your work | |
