Taking this To Maelstroms Team Tournemant in October.

What do you think?

And before this pops up.
I have ONE VENOM.
And ALL my Troops are already in this list.

Since you have one venom I'd go with the 4 blasterborn in it, as that is the most effective way to use it. As far as troops go I would bulk up the wracks alittle. (honestly I have never cared for them that much) I would also give the warriors a blaster and drop the nightshields and splinter racks (the racks don't affect the cannons anyway). On the HS again I would drop the NS as you should be keeping these back. Never been a fan of small hellion squads. If you are set on using them then take the baron and fill the squad up. I love the Rakarath/Grotesques and I wish more people would do it. I would drop one of them (you say you have five but then adding 3 grotesques and 1 aberration I get four so I'm alttle confused there. I would give them the added strength and these guys are now gross in CC.

1. I need all 3 Warrior choices for my Troops in objective games. As Wracks take home objective in cover and gtg every turn along with fnp thre awesome!

2. I always take splinter racks just to be safe as i've missed too many in the past...

3. My Warriors aren't made with a blaster and that would mean getting closer than needs be to use it.

4. I haven't got the Baron Either, and i just take my Hellions cus i love the models and they have ripped through a fair few tanks before ! (2 Pain Tokens, +1 s from the Drugs. S6 on the charge ! )

5. It says 5 as it took into account the raider being there...
Weird i know...

Ok fair enough on the grotesques I wouldn't change that.
I can see how hellions could be effective, but one pie plate from a LRBT and they are gone.
I would see if you could get ahold of some blasters as they really are pretty good (I made mine from the old models, just cut of both blades and bam a blaster. Yeah you have to get close but most armies will either come to you ie. BA or SW, or you have to go to them ie. Tau, IG. So being able to pop tanks is a must.
Fair enough on the racks just make sure only rifles and pistols not cannons or carbines.
I usually use a DL warrior squad for a home objective but I also realize that you have all your troops in so oh well. 3 just seems...small one hit and they can book it.
And I just realized I responded backwards to your response
Honestly the biggest thing you are missing here is anti-tank you weaponry for them is all long range which works and is (3:3:3:1:1:1:1) that is just 13 darklight shots a turn. Most stuff and 1650 you will need more. Yes the grotesques can help but they have to get there, and against a fast army like BA they may not be able to do enough damage if they make it, as that raider has a bullseye on it right now.

Sorry to disturb the tread, but could some of you dark eldar players check out my tread, i rly need some help.
