all is either rending or monstrous, very fast and rerolls to hit at I6 with defensive and offensive grenades is win

so how do you think it will fare

must be a perfect list

That looks like a pretty intense list. Can daemonettes kill vehicles? You don't think you should drop a squad of daemonettes for another HQ choice?

Daemonettes have rending, which is enough to get them up to AV 12 - but youll struggle to pop anything tought with this list. Id consider trimming (not dropping) squads to fit some heralds with BOT in there, or possibly even a cheap LOC. You're really going to struggle anti-tank otherwise.

max out fiends, they are your primary source of anti mech. i would like to see DP's w/ Mark of Slaanesh, Soporific Musk, Iron Hide, Pavane to be able to always get that charge with whatever you have. i don't really see the point in 4 icons for tactical placement if you have that much of a threat range, i believe 2 (1 per wave will suffice). besides that i am excited to see how this list will fair, remember DE also function at high I and those lances are going straight for skarbrands head(as he is a big target priority threat) so placement and protection are of high priority on him. if he dies, then the synergy in this list dies with him.

i might drop 2 icons, 1 Dp for a KOS with musk and strength

I wouldn't drop a DP. You'll need at least two to prevent focused fire from dropping them.

I definitely think that 4 Icons is far too many. 2 should be plenty.

Also, I think you're a bit troop heavy. I'd put a few more points on your Princes and pick up 3 more fiends.

Well it is a horde list so maybe that many troops isn't a bad thing. And with that many dark eldar maybe too many monstrous creatures wouldn't be that great considering all the dark lances that would be flying around. And as well, dark eldar I think have squishy vehicles to compensate for how bloody fast they are. I actually think the list looks good. I also think you should keep the icons because those are pretty big squads and they will take up a lot of space. So the icons would help with that.

just got back from a game with a space wolf player, he used a razorspam list and as i learned the shear ammount of daemonettes and the precision everything lands with, catches people off guard, the fiends were fast and hard hitting, but the nettes simple slaughtered everything they saw, scarbarand died by turn 3 after being hit by god knows how many lascannons

awesome!

I was considering a similar list a while back but couldnt exactly finance it. Let us know how it does at the tourney.

sounds really awesome list, must try it my self
Im really fan of slaanesh and always wanted to make good slaanesh list and this seems good.
but i wish you luck in the torney and may slaanesh be with you
