All,

I've been having quite a bit of trouble with my Dark Eldar since the new edition, I haven't been able to translate 5th edition awesomeness into 6th edition results.
However, I have come up with what I think is a cool army for me to use and I was wondering what your opinions are on it.

HQ
Archon; Agoniser, Shadow field, Haywire grenades, combat drugs 125
Succubus; Agoniser, haywire grenades 90

Troops
20 Warriors; 2 Splinter cannons, blaster 215
20 Warriors; 2 Splinter cannons, blaster 215
10 Wyches; HWG 120
Raider; enchanced aethersails 65
9 Wyches; HWG 108
Raider; enchanced aethersails 65
5 Warriors; Blaster 60
Venom; Splinter cannon 65

Fast Attack
5 Scourges; 2 heat lances 134
5 Scourges; 2 heat lances 134

Heavy Support
Ravager; 105
Ravager; 105
Talos; Haywire blaster 105

This all comes to 1,711 so I have some points left over.
The whole idea is that the wyches attack vehicles with HWG, while the Archon and Talos hand around with the large units of Warriors. The Scourges and Warriors in Venom go around together zapping whatever needs zapping while the ravagers deal with heavy infantry at range (I'm very tempted to give them disintegrator cannons)
I don't have any AA, but here aren't many aircraft or flying monsters for me to worry about too much. That may change in the future though.

Any thoughts?

5 warriors with 1 blaster in a venom is useless in a 1750 army, Spend the points on 3 trueborns each with a blaster in a venom.
Don't put the archon with the warriors if anything try to keep him with wyches, he is best in cc. Same with the Talos, get that thing stuck in with lots of weak scoring units.
drop all 40 warriors for maybe 20, 10 in each with a splitner cannon and put them in a raider, then use the extra points to field more wyches in a raider with a hekatrix, agoniser, HWG and maybe stick a haemocules in to give them FnP to start, either go archon OR succubus to much point cost for the same thing, i think archon is better personally.
Nice to see some scourges on the table! If using heat lances I would deepstrike them as a suicide unit to take out ordinance or anything like that. Equally though blasterborns in a venom can do the same thing if not better.
If playing something like Nids, you could go for more warriors BUT I would always put them in squads of 10 in a raider. The Dark Eldar are arguably one of the quickest armies and most manouverable so always use that to your advantage. Its possible if played correctly to beat a static army without taking many casualties, PAPER-VEHICLES ARE GREAT! Hope this helps a little for you to show how great the DE are!
