New codices tend to flip the rules upside down, weakening powerful units and strengthening weak ones. This effect seems to be more pronounced the longer it has been between Codex editions. With that in mind, I would say that though I can tell that DE are a very powerful and competitive army now, it is all but guaranteed that the DE army you play now will be rendered useless when the new codex comes out and flips their rules upside down. With rumours flying about a DE codex as early as the end of this year, I just don't think it would be worth the effort of collecting that DE Wych army you want and then wind up with a new codex that nerfs the crap out of Wyches.
That said, I have often considered a DE army, and anyone who dismisses them out of hand is probably a filthy Imperial dog anyways.
Agreed.
I have bundles of Jetbikes, Warp Beasts, scourges, Hellions and Mandrakes (I do use Mandrakes now and then, they are entertaining.) that don't see use. I'm looking forward to some list balance and hopefully, expansion.
