Incinerating your hopes

Not terrible. I hate the haemonculi though. Way too expensive. Give him a liquifier and call it a day. They tend to get picked off in cc way too fast, or you keep them on the back and they don't fight anyhow. Leave him on the raider and so drive by meltings with the liquifier, it's very effective. Personally not a huge fan of big units of kabalites. Try playing with the points to see how many you can squeeze in on venoms with blasters. Target saturation is a good thong for DE.

I agree with Grim. The Haemy is pretty awful in cc since they only have the 6+ save and fnp. The hexrifle sounds really good, but isn't really. The odds of it killing something > standard troops isn't pretty. Go with what Grim said, drop his wargear, give him either a shattershard or liquifier gun and keep him on the boat.

I would drop the kabalite squads to 5 man squads and drop the splinter cannons saving you 155 points. The ravagers should be able to handle AT at 1k pretty easily, so the raiders aren't necessary. Swap them for Venoms with upgraded splinter cannons. You'll save 15 points overall and increase your effective range by 24".

You now have... 39 + 155 + 15 = 209 points to play with. Another cookie cutter warrior squad w/ 84 points left over, or take a squad of wyches for countercharge or tieing up MC's. You can add haywire nades to them to be a very good vehicle threat. If you go the route of the wyches, put the Haemy with them to give them the pain token. You'll make the wyches a lot more survivable.

Mmmm, as a quick suggestion - I would advocate you looking over the DE tactica (link is in my sig) as a good way to get a ground level introduction to DE.

heamonclulous
flesh gauntlet
hex rifle
total:85

At 1000 points I think the flesh gauntlet is not an optimal investement, and I personally consider the Hexrifle sub par. Considering your plan is to put him into a Raider that will optimally be wanting to shoot at things 12" away I would suggest the Liquifier over the Hex Rifle.

troops

9x kalibite warriors
blaster
raider
flicker field
total:161

I personally think you're wasting points getting the extra 4 guys for this Raider. The bigger squads with S.Cannons will be better at shooting up infantry. Honestly I'd probably shift this Raider into a Wrack or Wyches Raider to give you some assault punch, and that would pair nicely with your apparent goal to have the Haemy involved in assaults.

10x kalibite warriors
splinter cannon
blaster
raider
flicker field
total:185

At 1000 points I'd tend to bring the following build;
5 Warriors w. Blaster
Venom w. extra S.Cannon.
It does everything the above squad does and does it as good but costs significantly less.

ravenger
flicker field
total:115

Ravenous.


what do i do with the remaining 39 pts any suggestions?

Rework the squads to bring an additional Troop option - you have a lot of points you could save and then be able to field an additional unit on top of everything, which would be much better for DE. I suggested an assault squad, but honestly at 1000 DE can go all shooty very easily, though you want multiple small squads rather than a few big squads if you want to go shooty.

Honestly, venoms are one of the best options in the game for what they cost/what they get from those points. I just hope that eldar don't get something similar otherwise we're going to see alot of fire dragons scooting around the board melta spamming our mommas like nobodies business!

Thor 666 I read your tactica before doing this list, thats were I got some builds. I see the use of venoms but what would I use to represent them? Also what would happen if Instead of
hamei a Archon or Succubus? for the extra points i am going for a wych squad with razorflails. thanks for useful tips.

The most basic Venom conversions usually involve the Vyper - because that's what the Venom actually looks like (seriously, check the picture of it). I also know a couple people are converting them out of the old DE Raiders.

At 1000 points I'd probably never use an Archon or Succubus over a Haemon. However, if you're looking for a h2h HQ I'd probably recommend the Succubus as she's a solid value.

I would drop the succy and take a haemonc with liquifier and some orb, cube, box, shard, something something. Those wyches love to have fnp for free.
