| Greeting & salutations. I have been playing the dark kin since 3rd edition, but took a pretty long hiatus from the game as whole. I finally got back into the game with the advent of the new codex a couple of years back. As a family guy with 3 daughters & full time job i don't get to play as much as i want too, usually a pick up game or two a month or an occasional tournament. In 5th i played wwp list that was incredibly fun to play, but thanx to the no assault from reserves nerf, worst meta-wide rule change in the game in my opinion, but that's another discussion, it's no longer viable (as i play it). I have finally finagled my way into getting the time to join a local league, & before i commit the resources to this list, I wanted to get the opinion of the experts. Please bear in mind, while by no means am I a waac kinda guy, I don't want to get my tukus handed to me everytime i put models to table.
So on to the list.
Hq Baron Sathonyx
Haemonculus
Farseer Jetbike, RoWa, stones, spear, doom & fortune Warlock w/ gjb, embolden & spear Warlock w/gjb, enhance & spear Warlock w/gjb & destructor Warlock w/gjb & destructor Warlock w/gjb & destructor
Troops 15 Hellions
3 Wracks
6 Guardian Jetbikes w/2 shurricannons Warlock w/embolden & spear
6 Guardian Jetbikes w/2 shurricannons Warlock w/embolden & spear
Fast Attack 9 Reavers w/3 Heatlances Champion w/venomblade
9 Reavers w/3 Heatlances Champion w/venomblade
Heavy Support Ravager w/3 darklances & nightshields
Ravager w/3 darklances & nightshields
Total 1997
Basic tactics First off is the old pain token shenanigan to give the Hellions & Baron fnp & fc. I use these guys as counter assault & harrasment purposes . The Wracks & Haemi collapse into los blocking, going to ground, & basically being as unobtrusive as possible. The Reaver's hunt vehicles & bladevane infantry, Gjb shoot at side armor & infantry. The Seer council dooms & flames stuff, while the Ravagers provide long range support. I have really debated on the Ravager's, mostly because i want to use my Talos! Both would be armed w/twin linked liquifiers & stock splintercannons, & used to support the Hellions. As to fliers, I'm in the camp of ignoring them & concentrate on the mission at hand.
Well, what do the Dark Kin say? Viable? | |

| decent at best imho. I do like the use of the seer council and the hellion blob, but I find your lack of troops to be very concerning. Also why take a reaver squad over a ravager??? Personally I would drop one, if not both of the reaver squads. Get a 3rd Ravager, and then throw in some mech warriors for scoring potential, while keeping AT capacity (and longer range too) | |

| Thanx for the reply. Yeah, I know i am light on troops, especially with one only a 3 man Wrack squad. On the other hand , the GJB's are alot more durable then the average kabalite or wych, & by including the Warlock w/embolden thought that they may stick around a bit longer.
You see, I'm trying to see if you can an almost do a Ravenwing thing, but with Eldar jetbikes instead. I already have the Farseer, 1 warlock w/spear, both on Jetbikes & 18 Reavers & a 6 man Gjb squad, & am trying to figure out if it's worth the time, effort & expense to build the seercouncil & 2nd Gjb's unit.
So ya got any suggestions on building this?

| like I said I would drop the reavers into two squads of 6 w/ blasters and play hit and run with them, and use the points to get another Ravager and up the GJB some, as they are your only real beef scoring units. I also like a power weapon of some type on the hellions and a PGL, just in case baron has to leave the squad. A lance maybe so you can get the most out of hit and run.
Also have you thought about doing this with Eldar instead of DE as your primary??? you can get almost the same list, and really a hellion blob can get a second pain token really easily (so no need for the the haemie) Plus that means you can more scoring jetbikes, which is a boon for anyone trying to run this type of list. | |

| I've pointed it up as an eldar primary list, & i just wasn't all that happy with it. I don't know, it just seemed to lack a certain panache, i think i may just go pure DE. Thanks for the help Shadow. I will post my current list for critique later today.
