so I'm in the school league and have a relatively good eldar list but I was thinking about using my shiny new dark eldar.

so far my list is pretty much 3 raiders with 2 units of 10 wychs and a unit of 9 wychs with lielth tagging along. the raiders are armed with 2 disintegrator cannons and 1 dark lance (not each sadly :( )

my problem is....is that any good? the Dcannons are good for melting termys and marines and the dlance can pop tanks and lileth...well shell kill anything she touches but I cant help but think its a little too easy to beat.

sorry that I cant write out a full army list at the moment but IIRC it adds up to about 600pts

why lelith?
if i remeber archon w/agoniser is nearly identical in meq kiling

she has many more attacks, power weapons, kills tau and other combat weak units etc thats why

the agoniser is a bit better as he would only need 4+ to wound but would have significantly less attacks. also the shardnet is good to attacking lone modles. added to the fact she has a very high I and can run down units easily and will have 9 wychs with here, I cant see the problem

I would suggest adding some warriors to the list for a ranged attack option, because if your raider gets blown up by a hammerhead or something, your wyches will be fair game for shooting,and they dont get their 4+ invul while out of assault >: or a couple of ravagers for the extra heavy support

I would definitely drop lelith and her wyches for a haemonculous with wracks. I would then reduce both of the other wych squads down some and get a ravager.

Something like

Haemonculous + 8x Wracks in Raider
(2) 8x Wyches w/Shardnet+Impaler in Raider
Ravager

Keep them all with dark lances.

Magister187: thats a pretty good list I'll give it a try tomorrow

SomaRukido: your right but my idea was that a HH is only going to be able to pop one if any per turn leving the rest of the wychs free to attack. but then again, most of the tau weapons can pop a raider :(

I think I'll give lilly a miss for this game like you guys suggested. she is a bit over priced (whent over my list, cant afford her any way )

I'm liking the idea of wracks very much

so new list:

HQ

Haemonculous with venom blade (because hes worth it) 55

8x Wracks in Raider 140

8x Wyches w/Shardnet+Impaler in Raider 150

8x Wyches w/Shardnet+Impaler in Raider 150

ravager 105

total 600pts

I might keep the disintergrators on the wychs raiders so as to give them support when assulting marines/termys
