I am in the process of slowly building the mirror-world army to the Eldar I have played since I first started 40K back in the days of Rogue Trader and Compendium (Harlequins PWN!!!). So here I am fiddling in Excel with a potential list I like pretty well and is a good balance (I feel) of fluff vs umph.

There's just something nagging at the back of my mind (the whispers of Slaanesh?) telling me I don't have enough anti-armor ability, but I can't decide if I really do and what I would want to do about it. That's where you come in...

1993 Points Total Army Value for 69 figures (appropriately ironic don't you think? and I didn't even think to do that on purpose!)

Note: Every single fig has Mark of Slaanesh w/exception of KoS, Daemonettes and Defiler (66 figs), 6 units count w/daemonic icon for summoning purposes

Scensious, Slaanesh Lord - 200 pts
Plasma Pistol, Power Weapon, Doom Siren, Furious Charge, Demonic Mutation, Demonic Strength, Combat Drugs, Steed of Slaanesh

Excestasy, Keeper of Secrets - 160 pts
Wind of Chaos

Tactical Squad Luscivious (6-man squad) - 137 pts
Icon of Slaanesh, Sonic Blaster & CCW x5, Blastmaster
Free Aspiring Champ (no add-ons)

Tactical Squad Decadream (6-man squad) - 137 pts
Same as above

Assault Squad Blisserable (12-man squad) - 247 pts
Icon of Slaanesh, Bolt Pistol & CCW x9, Doom Siren BP & CCW x2, Furious Assault, Infiltrate
Free Aspiring Champ (Daemonhost) Doom Siren, Demon Chains, Demonic Talons

Assault Squad Fantagony (12-man squad) - 247 pts
Same as above but replace AP's info w/BP CCW & Doom Siren, Demonic Mutation, Demonic Strength

Daemonettes of the Blissful Scream (12-babe squad) - 180 pts

Daemonettes of the Rapturous Agone (12-babe squad) - 180 pts

Bike Squad Zealation (6-bike squad) - 305 pts
Icon of Slaanesh, Sonic Blaster & CCW x4, Meltagun & CCW x2, Furious Assault, Skilled Rider
Free Aspiring Champ Power Weapon, Demonic Mutation, Demonic Strength

Sixth Heaven, Defiler of Slaanesh - 200 pts
Battlecannon, Blastmaster, Living Vehicle, Warp Amp, Mutated Hull

I hope you noticed the disgusting fixation with the number 6...can't imagine why I got so stuck on that number...hmmm... ANYWAY, thanks for your suggestions and assistance, fellow perverts of the warp!

Does anyone think i would be better off with a 6-man Havoc squad with 4 Blastmasters rather than the Defiler? Just wondering about that in particular.

I just needed to post and compliment you on your squad names which are fantastic. Creative, characterful and perfectly Slaanesh, great work. I also like the idea of linking your Chaos army to your Eldar. My inner Fluffdaemon approves.

Unfortunately I know sod all about Chaos and am utterly unqualified to give you any advice beyond "Defilers look really cool."

Especially painted in black and pink.

Great names though.

Thanks bunches for the comments, Bolter! I must admit I'm pretty proud of the names myself (I knew a thesaurus would come in handy for me some day!)

Oh yeah, I'm itching to paint up a Defiler with all sorts of nasty, perverse pink and purple parts. Can you imagine the pornographic imagery I could come up with for that big, phallic battle cannon sticking out the front? Muwahahahahaha!!!

I would go with the havocs instead of the defiler. I play emperor's children (oddly, i did the same thing...started with rogue trader harlequins/Eldar, then the whispers got me...), and my defiler dies fast. a lot. so, personally, i see it as a point sink. the 4 blastmasters give you more long range firepower, more durable thanks to the new target priority rules.

the loss in CC goodness the defiler brings isnt a big deal as you have an adequate supply of CC killyness.

on a side note, i have found that giving my lord 2 ightning claws (master crafted, of course)=tons of fun. i would recommend giving that a try. keep his talents/traits, just give him the lightning claws.

Well, some comments:

With the Lord, he will get shot up if nobody keeps up with him. Also, why plasma+DS? You can only shoot one, and if you want to shoot the Plasma Pistol, you might as well just take frags. Look into the Dark Blade. It's gross with DStrength and Drugs. You may want to Infiltrate him with a 12 man assault squad. Expensive, but lots of ablative wounds. Cheaper, but more fragile, is a 6 man squad. Ultimate cheese is a 5 man chosen retinue with D. Speed, Infiltrate, and power weapons- you can almost always assault first turn- 6 inch move, D6 fleet, assault 12 :-). These squads are super expensive, though!

The assault squads & bike squads are illegal- only 1 veteran skill for marked uniots.

On the Daemonhost,  talons is kind of a waste for a S6 champ. Might as well slap a Power Weapon on him and go to town. Or not, and just pop out the Greater Daemon. Give the other AC a power weapon and Spiky Bitz.

Don't bother with a Warp Amp on a Defiler- you will be shooting with it.

Havocs w/3 Blastmasters and Tank Hunter are awesome. S8 blasts for troops and S9 against vehicles. Bueno!

AP is always an issue with EC. That's what you rely on rending daemonettes and champs/characters with power weapons for. The -1 init really hurts most armies. Be sure to shoot away anything that is faster than you, though (genestealers, banshees, etc.). Blastmasters and Sonic Blasters are really good for that!

OK, based on comments from warpedpavilion and jmurph I have modified my list to the following:

Chaos Lord with Dark Blade, Bolt Pistol & Doom Siren, Furious Charge, Infiltrate, Demonic Mutation, Demonic Strength, Combat Drugs and Steed of Slaanesh (8 S9 power weapon attacks on the charge!!!)

Added Vet Skill Tank Hunter to both Tactical Squads

Dropped Furious Charge from both Assault Squads

Dropped Skilled Rider from Bike Squad

Dropped Defiler

Added 6-man Havoc Squad with 4 Blastmasters, 2 Sonic Blasters, Tank Hunter, AC with no upgrades...

Great suggestions guys! I only have 3 remaining problems:
1) I have 52 points left to spend somewhere...but where?!?
2) I no longer have a 69-man army (dang it ;D)
3) I no longer have a Defiler with reverse erectile dysfunction (muwahahaha! ;D)

Other suggestions?!
