It will heavily depend on what type on what type of DE he is running ( wych cult, Kabal, Webway portal.)

If you have any idea of what he is bringing it will be much eaiser to give advice.

hey likes wyches i think and i know he is going to field Raiders

You'll likely have trouble if he puts a Haemi in his army. They can take a 24" anti-psycher nuke and nearly everything in your list is a psycher - including your vehicles.

Actually, the vehicles cannot go insane from the weapon. The crucible of malediction forces leadership tests, and unless the grey knight vehicles developed leadership skills i do not foresee them losing sanity. However, that item is most effective against the knights and will likely be taken.

As for the list, well i see the land raiders being dropped turn 1. If he is lucky, a razorback as well. For cheaper than the price of the land raiders he can take 3 ravagers, which will shred the land raiders. Raider spamming will just add more lances. If you can get first turn and get smoke launchers off, you can easily get him into combat and start stomping wyches. But if he gets the top of the turn you will lose vehicles, and dark eldar are not an army you want to fight while you are on foot.

what about making the paladins into another 5 man squad then rush everything across the field to get into that assault i would need? i think the lascannons are a keeper tho so i can take care of those raiders where ever they pop up. are there any suggestions to change the list or are my tactics in need of change?

and FYI Vehicles have LD 10 when using their psyker abilities

you dont need to tailor a list to fight dark eldar, your army counters everything in the game right now, including dark eldar.

Drednoughts with 2 twin linked auto cannons are op. Its basically 3.6 str 8 hits gurenteed. Why arnt you bringing those?

Im also not sure why you dont have any psycannons as they are op...

the dreads i dont have yet for one lol i want them and i am working on it and the psycannons, not really sure, the incinerators work really well for me so far, so i guess thats why, i am gonna prolly get a few terminators set up that way, just so i have them,......oh yea and i didnt have the extra 15 points a piece for them. I needed bodies, really hard to run a 20 man army i have found no matter how tough they are
