Rising Corsair Lord in Need of Tactical Council

Hello there all you Dark Eldar players. I am planning on starting a Dark Eldar army, and i figured the denizens of this site would be a metaphorical gold mine of strategy and tactics, much more then the crowd on warseer. I'm mostly joining to ask questions from more experienced players as I slowly build up my corsair lord (Counts as Duke Sliscus) and his army (Dark Eldar with Eldar allies) .

Il probably throw up a few threads soon to discuss strategy and tactics and stuff. What would be the better forum to put them up in? Dark Eldar Tactics or Dark Eldar Discussion?


As for my background, I only recently got into playing 40k, and while I own the 6th rule book and most of the current codexes, I primarily play with my friends models (using the counts as rule for everything since he doesn't have any Dark Eldar). Up till now I was actually pretty focused on competitive fighting games (I went to alot of tournaments. I never did particularly well, but I sure as heck tried to win at least). Playing in tournaments, I became a firm believer in the "Play to Win" mindset (which ive noticed is generally shunned in the 40k community unfortunately) , but one thing i like about Dark Eldar is that it seems that you can easily make extremely powerful list that are also fluffy and extremely fun to play.


TLDR: I'm happy to be here and I hope you will be willing to help a rookie out in making the most lethal corsair army the galaxy has ever seen. (:<

PS: The grinchface in my avatar is the face i make while drinking in spacemarine tears when they lose horribly. Nothing is sweeter then seeing the invincible poster-boys of GW get knocked over like bowling pins.

Welcome to Commorragh, grandlordzero.

The Dark City is definitely filled with veterans who will happily help you with any DEldar related issues that you may have. Strategy and tactics should be posted in the Dark Eldar Tactics section as Dark Eldar Discussion is more suited to specific questions such as the builds you may use for a single HQ.

The 'Play to Win' mentality isn't shunned, but seeing as 40k is a game you need to know how to enjoy yourself, even if you do lose. The great thing about the Dark Eldar is that we have some great competitive lists, but for when you want a friendlier game there are other options which always make you cackle as your Liquefier melts a bunch of Space Marines.

I hope that you enjoy your time here in TDC.

Welcome, take a look around. Have a seat, I've prepared a welcoming "beverage" for you.....
