So I am entering a 2000 point teams tourney and part of the rules is that only one force organisation chart can be used, but both armies need 1 HQ and 2 Troops. Also New Nids are not allowed...


So this leave me picking up the anti armor bag, with only 3 Troops, 3 FA, 1 Elite, and 3 Hvy slots


This is what I am thinking of playing.

1000 Pts - Dark Eldar Roster

5 Raider Squad @ 105 pts (Splinter Rifle x4; Dark Lance; Raider)
1 Raider (Dark Lance)

5 Raider Squad @ 105 pts (Splinter Rifle x4; Dark Lance; Raider)
1 Raider (Dark Lance)

5 Raider Squad @ 105 pts (Splinter Rifle x4; Dark Lance; Raider)
1 Raider (Dark Lance)

1 Ravager @ 120 pts (Disentegrator x3)

1 Ravager @ 120 pts (Disentegrator x3)

1 Ravager @ 120 pts (Disentegrator x3)

1 Archon @ 142 pts (Combat Drug Dispenser; Shadow Field; Tormentor Helm; Trophy Rack; Punisher; Plasma Grenades)
4 Wyches @ 183 pts (Close Combat Weapon; Splinter Pistol; Wych Weapons; Blaster x2; Combat Drugs; Plasma Grenades)
1 Succubus (Agoniser; Splinter Pistol; Wych Weapons; Plasma Grenades (Squad))
1 Raider (Dark Lance; Horrorfex; Nightshields)

Total Roster Cost: 1000



Now the question I am asking myself is should I remove the Dis from the Ravagers and give them night shields?

As it stands I have 7 Dark lances and 9 Dissies. I could run 16 Lances and no Dis, or anything in between.

My partner is playing a Genestealer based nid list with some deathspitter warriors and a dakka Flyrant.

Well, since the partner plays an army geared towards assault,
I'd be inclined to take as much dark lances as possible.
They help to pop tanks so that the Genestealers can charge the passengers.

Only three troop FOC slots? That gives me shivers.

You've got 7 Lances but what I really see is that 6 of those lances are on three fragile options. Drop Pod Marines could practically end your antitank in one turn even at 1000 points. Depending on terrain anyone fielding a reasonable brace of lascannons (or playing Tau) could practically do the same.

As long as the Nid feels comfortable doing the lion's share of horde management I would definitely get at least some of your Ravagers as triple lances. Night Shields are probably a smart option to use the points on once you free them up.
