This isn't an army list

.
Now I think the advantage
DE give you is lances and their disadvantage is they are weak.
Essentially build a cannon fodder list to protect their lances

. Trukks and bikes are probably the only things quick enough to be cannon fodder for
DE.
At 1000 points I think Green tide is the only list that gives enough target saturation. Plus in a 4 way they will never seem a big threat.
