Greetings denizens!

After a little break, I'm back to rock'n'roll with the Dark Eldar!

I'm currently building a new list including many assets I haven't tested either never or in a long time.
The list is build against three local players, two who play Orks in a slightly different manner, and a player who's trying out the new Tyra-bugs.

What I suspect facing is a vast tide of troops, bolstered with 2-3 fliers, couple of hard-as-nail HQ and depending on the opponent a collection of bio-monsters, an army of killa-kans, or a STOMPA (which against I've already played with marines.)!

So what I've got planned is two lists built around Baron Sathonyx and a single unit of Hellions, the other being a bit more balanced than the other, but differing from each other by only a little.

LIST 1

HQ (235)

Baron

2xHaemonculi w/ Liguifier guns and venom blades.

TROOPS (1038)

13 Hellions.

3 Wracks, incl. Acothyst w/ venom blade, in a Venom w/ double splinter cannons.

2x10 Kabalites w/ splinter cannons, in a Raider.

2x10 Wyches incl. Hekatrix w/ phantasm grenade launchers, all packing haywire grenades, in Raiders.

HEAVY SUPPORT (475)

Talos Pain Engine w/ twin-linked liguifier gun.

2x Voidravens w/ 2x shatterfield missiles and 2x necrotoxin missiles.

FORTIFACTIONS (100)

Aegis Defence Line w/ Quad-gun.

TOTAL 1848

The first list includes the "Haemonculi-assassin-unit", packing two liguifiers and in total 6x 4+ and 12x 2+ poisoning close combat attacks in assault. The idea of using this unit is to sweep already weakened units or offering support to any units of my own. Continuing on the Coven units is my fire support specialist / Guard dog, Talos. He's supposed to sit on the Quad-gun in the early game and take down any flyers and if at late-game, my table edge seems a bit too crowded, he takes care of any pest problems. Now I know he isn't the greatest shooter but w/ twin-linked quad-gun AND twin-linked splinter cannon, I think he can cause enough damage and he's RESILIENT!

I took Voidravens instead of Razorwings mainly because I wanted to add a little resilience on them w/ their AV11 and their Strength 9 lances (and void mines).

LIST 2

HQ (255)

Duke Sliscus

Baron Sathonyx

ELITES (143)

4 Trueborns w/ 2x shardcarbines and 2x splinter cannons, in a Venom.

TROOPS (978)

13 Hellions.

3x10 Wyches incl. Hekatrix w/ phantasm grenade launchers, all packing haywire grenades, in Raiders.

10 Kabalites w/ splinter cannon, in a Raider w/ splinter racks.

FAST ATTACK (130)

5 Scourges w/ 2x splinter cannons.

HEAVY SUPPORT (370)

2x Voidravens w/ 2x shatterfield missiles and 2x necrotoxin missiles.

FOTIFACTIONS (100)

Aegis Defence Line w/ Quad-gun.

TOTAL 1846

The second list holds primarily the same assets as the first, 2 Ravens and the quad-adl taking care of the AA-support, the hellion unit staying as it were. What is changed (or added) is the Duke. This list is probably more built around him than the Baron, and these two are a combination I've wanted to try out for quite some time now. With the Duke's Contraband, the Hellions and Wyches are much more dangerous and for this reason, I've changed a squad of Kabalites with another Wych Squad. Duke leads this list from his Venom-Chariot accompanied with the Trueborn, pouring that 3+ poison rain of death to the nastiest enemies.

So there's the two lists! Note that neither of them is meant to be super competitive or even close to a tournament-based list (Although, some units are on the lists to check any potentials to work towards more competitive list).

If you have any experience of using unit I've taken, please share them freely. And more than that, everyone please tell me which list would do the job better in your opinion and why! Smile
