Yeah that's right, I am giving the lesser races the opportunity to know their doom before the tables are even set up.

Fear that which is coming for you (assuming you will be at the tourney on Saturday and we get matched up).
Also, by posting it here I don't have to worry about losing it.

Are you posting this for critique, or just posting it so that there's a copy of it online.
Your list makes the Dark Eldar in me a very, very sad panda.

You can critique it but I am not doing Venoms until the official model comes out.
edit: oh yeah, and I tried a haemonculi for several games but got 1 too many str1 ap6 liquifier blasts. For the price of giving one unit of wyches FNP I would rather just take another unit. It is silly to try and make a fragile unit survivable.
Oh yeah, and tactics wise I typically just have the raiders run around as gunboats and bring most stuff in through the WWP. It has been working so far against Shep's nasty IG and nid builds.

That's fine about the Venom.
I don't know you or your playstyle, but I will say that your list makes me very sad. I also realize that you probably wouldn't like anything I would have to say. And that you have a tournament this weekend, and its probably too late for you to go back to scratch and start again.
So, I'll just say that I truly wish you the best of luck, and hope that you bring back battle reports that surprise me.

I have about 2k built. I know you hate reavers but I like them. They have done well for me with WWP - I wouldn't run them on in the portal but I treat them as an opportunistic disease.

All, I know from this is that asking what raiders the wyches are in and shooting it is still the way to go.

Oh, reavers are just the start. =p But like I said, I really do wish you luck, and truly hope that you do well. Batreps!

I will definitely batrep, no worries there. So far the list has been doing well vs. Shep's IG and some nids. Strangely, I haven't faced marines yet, but I thikn it should do alright. The idea is that everything in this list is a threat as soon as it arrives - that is why there aren't wracks in this list.
I don't like haemons but that is probably because of the amount of str 6+ I see in my games - it just ignores the FNP and gives me a subpar character.
The vehicles are pretty much just used as gunships for the most part and cover as needed.
Anyway, that is the thinking in the list.
Oh the shredders were added as a lark but then they actually ended up being pretty good coming out of a WWP (much to my surprise) and at 1500 I am pretty well covered on the dark light weaponry. Once I get some beastmasters, they will take the shredder's place in the list. Automatically Appended Next Post: Oh yeah, and 2 of the raiders have disintegrators.
