I'm thinking of starting a Dark Eldar army. (I'll mainly be playing against my friend's Orks and Tau). What units should I get/what is a good way to start out?

Personally, from what i have seen so far, loads of Helions and Reaver jetbikes with a few necessary Kabalite warriors in raiders but that's just me.
Though the Blade vanes from the Jetbikes would work wonders against any exposed Ork and Tau infantry.

Just wait for the bandwagon to drive buy and jump on. There will be hundreds on template armies on the internet in a months time

I pre ordered the Archon, Kabalite warriors, a raider, 5 Incubi and some reavers to get me started. Waiting till I've got them painted before going for more. Hopefully get to see a army box deal in near future also.
