My brother wants to try a different Dark Eldar army. This time, it is a more assault-oriented list with Vect.

He wants a fight? I'll give him a fight...with my all-infantry Mephiston Blood Angels. Let's see if he can survive.

Aren't haywire grenades only used against vehicles? Or was that changed in the new DE book. Are they now assault grenades or something?

De have the initiative and speed and will win close combat. Whyches after a pain token have fnp and a 4 invul in cc. If you assult de you loose.

The devastators will have a field day with the de transports and any whyches that get shot at are dead.

The Dark Eldar list is illegal.

Reavers can only take one heat lance per three models in the squad.

Correct. Haywires are only useful against vehicles. Phantasm grenade launchers are the assault+defensive grenades. The DE list is supposed to be an all-comer's list, designed to take on both mech and infantry. Since he doesn't have a lot of darklite weaponry, haywires make his wyches actually dangerous against vehicles.

We will soon find out.

Oops! Let me fix that. There, all better now.

Those Missile launchers are gonna wreak havoc on the DE transports/

One question though, why are your assault terminators mixed?

Better infantry killing power. Furiously charging Lightning Claw models attacking at I5 with 4 S5 attacks each and re-rolling wounds is devastating against normal MEQ's and can even harm vehicles. Thunderhammers are mainly to absorb AP 2/1 wounds and power attacks as well as kill high Toughness units.

I made a small change to my BA army. Basically swapped out a terminator sanguinary priest for a jump pack sanguinary priest.
