Been playing around with my Deldar, and I just can't find the right kind of list. This one is more assault orientated then any before, but it's very low on lances. Thoughts?

If you're gonna go this way, I'd say take raiders. Otherwise, when those ravagers go down, (and they will be target number one for most opponents) you'll be left relying on 3 single *ahem* meltas. (Which can also be removed fairly easily, its like Screamers all over again )

With raiders, this might actually work.

Where will the haemonculi hide?
I agree with previous poster that you need more lances, and I would not run 5man naked wyches (even with nades I concider them naked) so try and incease squad sizes.

Oh crap, you're right, venoms are transport capacity 5, lol been playing that wrong (sry Jabbdo). Raiders might make it better, but tbh I just don't like them. I could swap the incubi for trueborn and get more darklight weaponry, but I wanted to try an extreme here. I also read that a DE list that only had darklight weaponry in 2 ravagers and a voidraven (and he also had 3x5 whyches with haywire grenades) placed 3rd at the uk masters. Inspired by this and my own failure to find a list that would work for me, I've decided to try this out. Anyway, here is another possibility.

Tried this list today, and it actually worked well (wiped out lash/obli by turn 5). I also played purifier spam with venoms instead of raiders and got my own back end raped. I think the extra lances might actually be more useful, I have the incubi and vect to mop up infantry (the whyches can team up to take on units aswell, or tarpit until the incubi arive). In both games however, vect's lol-mobile actually worked like a charm.

The last list looks really simple, but also kinda a pain to take on. The amount of target saturation, and redundency is crazy. The flickerfeilds really help you out. Hope it keeps working.

On a side note, can you messege me the list you when up against.

Thx, Here is an alternative. Less whych cult. I think this list gives me more options without losing too much redundancy. Also the different kinds of units add to target priority and the two wrack units should hold objectives pretty nicely.

Vec and his Dais are pretty crazy expensive for a 1750 game, and you'll find that he won't earn his points back very frequently.

Besides that, your last list looks fantastic.

Give the wracks and Hemi Liqufiers. They can really come in handy.
