| I've been planning for a kick-in-the-nuts list of full-blood DE speed and firepower and here's where I've got so far:
Archon w/ venom blade, shadowfield, haywires.
9 Wyches w/ haywire gnds, Hekatrix w/ venom blade, phantasm gnd launcher, haywire gnds, in Raider.
3x10 Kabalites w/ cannons, in Raiders.
3x3 Blasterborn in Venoms w/ dual cannons.
2x6 Reavers w/ 2 blasters.
3 Ravagers w/ triple lances.
Main tactics, or as I like to call it, "killing the serpent":
"cutting off the head": Ravagers and kabalites cuts down the enemy's main attack force with sheer firepower, with the support from blasterborn.
"tying the tail": Reavers wait for the moment to launch their assault into the enemy territory as soon as there's room for them to manouvre, taking care of enemy support units and base-campers.
"flaying the beast": Coup de grace will be the wyches sweeping any survivors in the enemy territory with the support from the blasterborn.
And there you have it!

| Id skip agonizers for venom blades personally. Check out the math in http://www.thedarkcity.net/t4935-dark-eldar-unit-guide-plastikente
I'd also skip the night shields on the ravagers. NS on everything or nothing. I'd also skip the haywire on archon. It's 10p and your wyches get it for 2p each. -70p + 18. More or less 50p to play around with. Could use that to split 1 warrior squad into 2 smaller in venoms or something else.
Overall it looks solid enough! | |

| Well I ended in the same conclusion between agonizer vs venom blade. About the haywire grenades on the archon on the other hand I disagree with you. It has saved the squad numerous times from walkers or tank shock. And I'd recall it's 5 points instead of 10..? One question I'm pondering at the moment is that should I replace one of thereaver squads with one more kabalite squad of 10 in a Raider? | |

| You are right about the haywires now that I think of it. 5p might be worth it.
I didn't even notice the third reaver squad. For me personally I'd drop one reaver squad for another warrior squad. With the points saved on night shields I'd change the troop layout to:
2x5 warriors in venoms with 2 SC 2x10 warriors in raiders with cannons 9 wyches
I've only done the math quickly in my head but the points should more or less add up with some tinkering.

| Now that I did some calculations I noticed that I'd already counted them to have the venom blades by ooints cost but forgot to retype them.. And this gives me no chance to swap a 10 man kabalite team into two teams of 5.. Gotta update the list soon. | |

| that would work, it would definitely give me more range on the AI fire. Downside would be ton more kill points and even more fragile troops in even more fragile paper ships. But worth considering definitely. | |

| Evil evil killpoints. Just agree on non-kill point missions beforehand 11 DL 11 Blasters 12 cannons on venoms + 1 cannon in warrior unit Thats a lot of 36'' goodies allowing your 18'' units to get in place. Hopefully! | |

| And as I counted the list you suggested I would have just enough points to buy haywires for the wyches! Jolly good! | |
