Ok, so I'm starting a Dark Eldar army this summer, but there's a little problem; I know (almost) nothing about Dark Eldar. The main thing is I know is that the models are great, and I want to field an Archon and Incubi. I know I need to read the Codex, but I also need to place a substantial order this weekend (before Wayland and pals stop selling to America.) So what are some useful models/units I should buy as a solid base to my army?

What kind of army do you want to build?
There are a few strong builds that require different things...
This tactica might be of some use...

Ketara power activate!

Thanks for the link purplefood, but do to a restriction on internet bandwidth, Youtube videos are out of the question. I'm looking at the Archon mostly for his strong close combat ability. What units would be best at giving long range firepower and armor penetration? (My playgroup runs a ridiculous amount of tanks.)

Sorry that was the wrong link...
I'll go get the other one now...
Fixed it...
