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!

For the Baron I would take 20 warriors with 2 cannons. Blob squads are fun. If not you could try 9 TB with carbines in a raiders with splinter racks. Thay are aboutthe same points. I am hust not a huge fan if gacing an expensive unit like that in a raider because you will lose half the unit when it explodes. And for the baron I'd take a large beast pack. 4-5 beast masters with 6 razor wing flocks and 5-8 hounds.
And for the prince? Maybe a unit of wyches for him to join. Which also takes advantage of the dukes drugs.

See if you can fit

Your HQ's 410

3 TB w/ 2 lances or 3 blasters in a duel venom (all venoms should have 2 cannons)

3 TB w/ 2 cannons in duel venom.

20 warriors w/ two cannons

9 wyches w/ syberite w/ PGL and power weapon or venom blade. In raider with maybe sales and NS.

5 warriors in duel venom x2 units.

3 eldar jet bikes X2 units.

2 ravangers.

Not sure how many points this would be, but it should be under 2k.
You should have enough points to maybe get another ravager or eldar fire prism. But if you can find points for a void bomber with flicker field then take that. If you still have a few points then take 2 missiles.
If you need points for room I'd drop the upgrades from the wych raider and ravanger. Maybe even drop a wych. You could even drop 3 hounds from the beast pack if you really need the points. Meaning you would drop 1 beast master and 3 hounds.

Eldar jet bikes are for reserve and objective grabbing later game.

This list isn't super competitive, but it should be fun and still put up a good fight

I would start by putting them in squads that best use their capabilities and finding synergies between thosr squads. Yriel maybe with harlequins or something. Not too familiar with that guy. Baron can be in hellion blob or beasts, while duke can start with some raider with tricked out warriors or trueborn utilizing his 3+ poison. Then duke leaves and joins harlequins maybe? Possibly switching transports with some other squad to really make harlies get where they need.

Then u fill in rest with the bread and butter: venoms and ravagers.

Something like this:

15x hellions w/ baron
9x wariors or trueborn in raider with duke (3+ poison and add splinter racks! )
3 or 4 venoms 5x warriors with a blaster each.
3x ravs

Allies eldar

Yriel
5 - 7x harlequins (shadowseer, harlie kisses)
Guardian jetbikes or maybe a squad of something cheap and a falcon to swap out for harlies to have a transport.

U may also want to take advantage of some forgeworld heavy stuff too. But this list is how I would do it.
