Possible 1750 for Clan Wars!

So after running a Space Marines/Tau alliance at the Home Nations, its back to DE for me. A late consideration to take to Clan Wars in Stirling, that is going to be infested with Tau, Newdar and various other new nasties. But the Dark Eldar can totally take it! Ok maybe not, but I'd like to think that my army can remain slightly competitive.

Undecided between keeping the Ravagers as dark lances, or swapping them out for disintegrators for the Broadsides/MC's S5 ap2 spam shots. However, if I do that I am at a serious disadvantadge against mech. though since when did my DE ever beat a good mechanised force? Its a lot of shooting, and against Tau I can hopefully pepper down a Riptide first turn, 2 if I'm lucky with DL shots then remain out of range of HYMP Broadsides with my nightshields. Unless anyone fancies taking Railsides.... Skyrays will still be a problem though. I think I could put up a decent fight against Newdar, but the problem is those OP serpent shields - ignore cover, range over 9000"!. Wraithknights.. will last approx .2 seconds against this. So hopefully my friends will enjoy painting those shiny new expensive toys, to be removed 1st turn

Torn between putting a squad of Incubi in for the decisive close combat kill when required, a Voidraven for token anti-air or possibly another Venom mounted.. something.

Not got any comments on the list, but are you in Stirling? Do I know you?

I'm in Glasgow, but I play at a lot of tournaments around Scotland (and the bigger events down in England). I have been to Rapid Fire! before, just as I got into the hobby about 4 years ago and got totally schooled, using my space marines. So I may have met you before if you go to tournaments around the Central Belt region.

My friend is running Clan Wars at the new venue in Stirling in a couple of weeks as a potential future qualifier/fundraiser for the 40k Team Scotland. I'd rather not put my name up on a public forum, but if you fancy checking out Clan Wars then give it a look here: http://caledoniandeathwatch.freeforums.org/clan-wars-2013-t1419.html

The Deathwatch is a useful forum for Scottish players btw - good for arranging games against some good players, and we run a reasonable amount of events (mostly in Glasgow, but a couple elsewhere). Plus we usually travel en masse to the October Throne of Skulls. Apologies for the plugs

the splinterborn are alittle weird. Think your going to be facing not so many tanks so that you can dedicate them like that??? You already have enough AI without them...

fair enough comment, and normally I'd take the point. However, (and I suppose this could be tailoring!) but I know the majority of the better players that will be there, and very few of them are taking much mech. In fact, 3 of the particularly better players there will be playing Riptide/HYMP Broadsides spam. Therefore, the Trueborn and general Venom spam should be of good use, and with the Ravagers I should have an adequate amount of AT as long as I use LOS blocking terrain well enough with my Wych raiders (this is more for other armies rather than Tau here).

For the extra pts, think I'm going to take a Farseer on a bike - to double Guide/Prescience a couple of Ravagers, and a squad of Guardian Winbikes
