HQ: 1x Archon wwp, Blaster, Shadow Field. 150 pts
Elites: 4x blasterborn 1xdracon w/agonizer blastpistol 165pt
Troops: 5x Warriors 40pts
5x Warriors 40pts
Fast Attack:3x Reaver Jetbikesw/arenachampion/cluster caltrops 98pts

What do you guys think?

personally i think you are spending far too many points on your archon at this points level.

i also feel that whilst trueborn are great, they are also far too expensive at this level.

the other issue i feel is you are clearly planning to WWP your HQ and trueborn close to take out a high priority target. problem is whether you succeed or not you are likely to give up both your warlord and the trueborn as you are only T3. depending on what you have or want in your list i would consider grotesques as your WWP unit. they are great in combat and make your archon a pseudo T5. Also drop gear you don't need in favour of venoms for your troops.

Something like this perhaps:

Archon- WWP- 95

3 Grotesques- Aberration- 115

5 Kabalite- Venom w/extra cannon- 105
5 Kabalite- Venom w/extra cannon- 105

3 Reavers- Heat Lance, Cluster Calltrops- 73

= 493

A second option is to drop the WWP in favour of a transport for the grots and archon. after all, every DE transport is a fast skimmer so WWP are not needed to get your units where they want to be fast:

Archon- 60

3 Grotesques- Raider- 160

5 Kabalite- Venom w/extra cannon- 105
5 Kabalite- Venom w/extra cannon- 105

3 Reavers- Heat Lance, Cluster Calltrops- 73

= 503

Couple of ideas for your consideration.

Thanks. I'm just starting out and have to buy everything. My list atm is basically all the DE that I own. Grots would be amazing as the wwp unit to take down HQs and the like. I also like the shadow field as a 2++ tank due to T3 but it's probably too expensive now. Venoms shall be my next purchase however.
