Hey everyone, here's another 1500 pt Dark Eldar list for your perusal. Please tell me what you think.

Archon- splinter pistol, agonizer, shadow field, combat drugs, phantasm grenade launcher- 145

Aka the big bad boss guy, whose job is to kill things dead. He'll be riding with the Incubi, and to this effect I gave him phantasm launchers.


Haemonculous- 50
Haemonculous- 50

These two are there to give Pain Tokens to my Wych units. Ideally, I would have liked to give them some actual equipment, but I'm afraid I ran out of points before I could do so.


5 Kabalite Warriors- blaster- 60
-Venom- splinter cannon- 65

5 Kabalite Warriors- blaster- 60
-Venom- splinter cannon- 65

My cheap scoring/fire support units. Armed with blasters for tank-busting options, these squads will do their best to look innocuous as they zoom up with the Raider-mounted squads, take pot shots at vehicles and infantry alike, and take objectives late in the game.


9 Wyches- haywire grenades, shardnet, Hekatrix w. agonizer- 150
-Raider- flickerfield, grisly trophies- 75

9 Wyches- haywire grenades, shardnet, Hekatrix w. agonizer- 150
-Raider- flickerfield, grisly trophies- 75

The main assault arm of my army, these squads will zoom into combat as soon as possible, in the hopes of either killing the enemy in close combat or trying them up long enough for the Incubi to get to grips with them. Speaking of which...


6 Incubi-- 152
-Raider- flickerfield, grisly trophies- 75

Their role is simple: zoom up and chop things to bits.


7 Mandrakes- 105

These guys are a bit of an experiment, used in spite of the fact that they are a pretty sub-par unit. I've experimented with these guys before, and found them great at outflanking and tying up enemy fire support. Hopefully, they may be able to arrive just in time to support my Wyches/Incubi in assault. Besides which, I like the background and models of this unit.


Ravager- flickerfield- 115
Ravager- flickerfield- 115

And finally, my obligatory anti-tank units, there to take out anything that looks like a big threat to my Raiders.


Total: 1497

Any thoughts on this list? I've been thinking of some possible alternatives myself:
-Ditching grisly trophies on the Raiders to give my Haemonculi venom blades and/or liquifiers
-Trading the Mandrakes for a Chronos Pain Engine, to hopefully spread Pain Tokens to more of my units.
-For the sake of variety, trading one unit of Wyches for a squad of Wracks.

Any thoughts?

I'd drop the flicker fields on the raiders. That will free up some points to increase the squad size of the mandrakes. I'd also consider dropping the 2 haemonculi. They don't have any equipment and are a KP liability at this point (your army surrenders 16KP at 1500pts).

You need more longrange antitank you have atm 11 Darklight weapons. In my 1500pts list i have 18 and wycjes with grenades and i still feel i lack antitank against mech marines and IG
