Hello fellow Archons.
I hope you've all had a fair Khainemas, with lots of poor souls to torture and misery to feast upon!
I'm not sure if this goes in here or in the Tactics section to be honest...
I'm getting my thoughts around a new Dark Eldar army, with a theme for Royalty and it's cohorts, and I'm hellbent on using Duke Sliscus, Baron Sathonyx and Prince Yriel in it.
I'm usually all in for shooting, but I'm aiming for a balanced all-around list now (mainly for local tournaments, fun friendly games and maybe a campaign), max 2000 points but only 1 Force Organisation Chart.
This far 410 points is covered up by the royal characters, and I'm unsure how to build my list around these guys and still have a fairly ok working list to be honest.
Heavy support have been decided though and it WILL be 2 ravagers with Dark Lances (for that "tank hunting" potential), may turn those into 3 ravagers if the points are enough, but I reckon trying to throw in a Voidraven (slightly ok AA) if the model has been released when this project really takes root.
I have yet to decide the main troop choices for the primary and allied detachment though, as well as fast and elite (and maybe a heavy from Eldar, not sure on that yet though). Forge World units are allowed.
So far...
The Duke
The Baron
The Prince
410 pts
Ravager, night shields
115 pts
Ravager, night shields
115 pts
I am concidering trying to throw in a Trueborn squad with shard carbines for Sliscus, but then again he could do fairly much damage output with 20 footslogging warriors with splinter cannons as well to be honest, just less mobile.
Yriel is someone I want to get stuck into combat quickly with, due to his fun-fun weapon.
No idea what I want to do with Sathonyx, he does indeed boost Hellions and make them troops, but he does boost other units he joins as well.
Help a fellow Archon out with this themes list will ya?
Thanks in advance!
